Baking Tips

Use ribeye for the most tender and flavorful steak.

Freeze the steak for 20 minutes before slicing for ultra-thin cuts.

Caramelize the onions slowly for deeper flavor.

Use provolone cheese for a classic taste, or try white American cheese for extra creaminess.

Toast the buns with butter for an authentic sandwich shop texture.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

1 lb shaved steak (ribeye or sirloin for best flavor)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp soy sauce (optional, for umami flavor)

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

4 slices provolone cheese

4 hoagie rolls, toasted

2 tbsp butter (for toasting rolls)

1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for serving)

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the onions and set aside.

Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add shaved steak, season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Return the caramelized onions to the pan and mix with the steak. Reduce heat to low and place slices of provolone cheese on top. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

Butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in a separate pan until golden brown.

Spread mayonnaise on the toasted hoagie rolls if using, then pile the cheesy steak and onion mixture onto each roll.

Top with pickled jalapeños (optional) and serve hot.
