Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion (cut into thin slices)
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2-3 pounds shaved beef steak (see notes for other options)
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrin's is gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp Seasoning Salt (such as Lawry's to taste)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Hot Sauce (optional)
  • 6-8 slices provolone (try White cheddar, American, pepper Jack cheese, or go all Philly and use Cheese Whiz; wiz wit)
  • 6 rolls French rolls (Use Hoagie rolls, Italian or French rolls)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 package mushrooms (sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat large pan to medium heat, melt butter and toss in sliced onions, stirring around until soft and caramel colored, about 6-10 minutes. Remove from pan, set aside.

  2. 2

    If steak is not already sliced, slice as thinly as possible (see notes) and season with seasoning salt, not too much, just a light all over sprinkle.

  3. 3

    Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high, add butter and oil, then add steak in as much of one layer as possible, if too crowded, do in a couple of batches. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side, for 1-2 minutes, won't take long, remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Once beef is browned (I slightly undercook, as it will keep cooking), pour in Worcestershire sauce and if desired, a few shakes of hot sauce we like Cholula. Stir around for a minute, then return onions to pan and stir into beef, including all of those delicious juices.

  5. 5

    Place desired cheese slices on top of the beef, cover for a minute until super melty, gooey, and irresistible, adding extra cheese if you like it really cheesy!

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, heat a griddle or another large skillet to medium-high heat, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut side of the sub rolls, place butter side down on griddle and toast until brown and delish.

  7. 7

    Serve cheesesteak on top of rolls and enjoy immediately.
