Jersey Mike's Famous Philly (Copycat Recipe)

This classic recipe captures the essence of Jersey Mike's Famous Philly sandwich, featuring tender, thinly sliced beef, melted provolone cheese, and sautéed onions and peppers, all served on a fresh hoagie roll. The combination of savory flavors and hearty textures makes it a satisfying meal that stays true to traditional sandwich-making methods.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 hoagie rolls
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: hot cherry peppers for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In the same skillet, push the vegetables to the side and add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Split the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Fill each roll with the beef and vegetable mixture.
6. Top each sandwich with two slices of provolone cheese.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and add hot cherry peppers if desired. Serve immediately.
