Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Four 9-inch sub rolls
- 2 pounds shaved beef steak, such as rib-eye or sirloin
- 12 thin slices provolone
Instructions
- In a large saute pan or griddle, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute, and then add the onions, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook the onions until caramelized, stirring throughout the process, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
- Spread the softened butter on the interiors of the rolls and cook, butter-side down, on a griddle until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the rolls, add the raw steak to the griddle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook briefly, shredding the meat into small pieces with two metal spatulas. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes.
- Portion the meat into four piles, and top each pile with 3 slices of the provolone. Continue to cook until the cheese melts (putting on the lid and adding a little water to the pan can help with this step). Cover each pile with a browned roll, and slide a spatula under the meat to pick it up with the roll.

Super easy, quick to make, and very tasty! I actually halved several of the ingredients for health reasons (the grape seed oil, the butter, and the steak). Used 8 slices of cheese instead of 12. I also sauteed a yellow and an orange bell pepper to give it more substance. Didn’t serve with any sides, just some pickles! Will add this recipe to my repertoire for sure. Thanks, Robert!
