Ingredients
Method
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet or griddle and cook them over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and lightly caramelized. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
- Add the shaved beef to the skillet, spreading it out in an even layer. Season the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the beef for about 3 minutes per side, or until it has a nice sear and is cooked to your liking.
- Return the cooked onions to the skillet and mix them with the beef.
- Divide the beef and onion mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Place 3 slices of cheese on top of each portion of beef and onion mixture. Cover the skillet or griddle with a lid or foil to help the cheese melt faster.
- Cook the sandwiches for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Toast the Italian rolls in a toaster or under a broiler or on your griddle, brushing them with butter on both sides. This step is optional, but toasting the rolls will add a nice crispy texture to your sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the beef and onion mixture on the toasted rolls.
- Let the sandwiches cool for 3 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and also make it easier to eat.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve them immediately. Enjoy your delicious Cheesesteak Sandwich!
Notes
You can also add other toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapeños to the sandwich to make it even more flavorful.
