| Ingredients | Instructions |
|---|---|
| • Prime Ribeye (thinly sliced) • Salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste) | 1. Prepare Steak: Slice the ribeye steak as thinly as possible (partially freezing the steak makes this easier). Lay the steak slices out on a large sheet pan in a single layer. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on one side only. Set aside. |
| • 1 onion • 1 bell pepper | 2. Prepare Vegetables: Cut the onion into small sticks by halving it, then slicing it into thin strips. Slice the bell pepper (if using) into thin strips. |
| • Unsalted butter | 3. Cook the Onions and Peppers: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Melt a small amount of unsalted butter in the skillet. Add the onions peppers and cook until softened but still slightly firm. Remove and set aside. |
| • Amoroso-style rolls | 4. Toast the Buns: In the same skillet or grill, lightly butter the inside of the rolls. Toast them on the grill or skillet until golden and slightly crisp. Set aside. |
| • Olive or Avocado Oil | 5. Cook the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high and add a little oil to the skillet or grill. Lay the seasoned ribeye steak slices in a single layer (seasoned side down). Let the steak cook for about 1-2 minutes, then chop it into bite-sized pieces using a spatula or tongs. Cook until just browned but still tender and juicy. |
| • Munster cheese slices | 6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.Place slices of Munster cheese over the steak mixture and let it melt until creamy. |
| • Parchment or butcher paper | 7. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the toasted buns on a sheet of parchment or butcher paper. Scoop the steak, onion, pepper, and cheese mixture onto the bottom half of the bun. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun. |
| 8. Wrap and Rest: Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment or butcher paper. Let the sandwiches rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bun to soften further. | |
| 9. Serve: Unwrap and enjoy your Wisconsin-style Philly cheesesteak sandwich! |
