Ingredients

2 Tablespoon olive oil (divided, or a few sprays of cooking spray)
1 medium onion, sliced or chopped
1 Pound shaved beef
1 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon pepper
4 Hoagie rolls
2 Tablespoon butter
4-6 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Heat frying pan or griddle on medium, and coat with 1 T olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned or even caramelized. Remove onions and set aside in a small bowl.
Heat remaining 1 T of oil (or cooking spray) in pan. Add shaved beef and season with salt and pepper. Use a spatula or two wooden spoons to gently pull shaved beef apart and cook until no longer pink. Mix in onions.
Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise without completely slicing apart. Spread butter on the inside of each half.
Divide meat into sections in your pan, depending on how many rolls you have. Place 1-2 slices of cheese on top of each section of meat. Then, lay the open side of the roll face down on the cheese & meat for 1-2 minutes, or until butter and cheese have melted. Use one or two spatulas to gently flip over meat with roll onto a plate. Serve cheesesteaks with your side of choice.

Notes

- Thinly slice your beef. It's a huge time saver to buy pre-sliced shaved beef. However, if you are cutting the meat yourself (especially Ribeye or a thicker cut of meat), Saveur has some great tips on how to cut steak paper thin. Specifically, associate food editor Kellie Evansy recommends freezing steak tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for 20 minutes prior to cutting. Then, once firm, he recommends thinly slicing the meat against the grain.
- Assemble your cheesesteak upside down in the pan. Use a spatula or two to flip assembled cheesesteaks over and onto your plate.

- Don't be afraid to add more veggies. It's pretty common to add sautéd mushrooms and/or peppers to a cheesesteak. We keep our Philly cheesesteak recipe simple, but feel free to jazz it up based on your family's preference!
