5slicesdeli American cheeseprovolone can be substituted
2hoagie rollssoft but sturdy
1sweet onionthinly sliced
Hot cherry pepper saucefor serving (optional)
Instructions
Cook the onions. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, translucent, and lightly golden.
Cook the beef. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the steak in a single layer and cook quickly, stirring occasionally, until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the meat sears instead of steams.
Melt the cheese. Lower the heat, layer the cheese over the hot beef and onions, and let it melt directly into the mixture.
Assemble. Pile the hot filling into the rolls and serve immediately. Top with hot cherry pepper sauce if desired.

Notes
Make ahead: Slice the steak and onions up to 1 day in advance.
Storage: Store the filling separately from the rolls for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm the filling in a skillet, add cheese, then serve on fresh rolls.
Variation: Swap provolone for American cheese or add mushrooms if desired.
