Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

    1. Trim and Freeze:
      • Cut away the long strip of fat from each rib-eye steak.
      • Halve the steaks and lay them on a baking tray in a single layer.
      • Place in the freezer for about 40 minutes. This firms up the meat for easier slicing.

    Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

    1. Sauté the Onions and Peppers:
      • Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a heavy-based pan over medium heat.
      • Add sliced onion, red pepper, and green pepper with a generous pinch of salt.
      • Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden and sticky.
      • Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
      • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

    Step 3: Slice the Steaks

    1. Thinly Slice the Steak:
      • Remove the chilled steaks from the freezer.
      • Using a sharp knife, slice them as thinly as possible against the grain (aim for 1/4 inch thick).
      • Divide the slices into four equal portions for easy cooking.

    Step 4: Sear the Steak

    1. Cook the Steak:
      • Heat a skillet over high heat until it’s nearly smoking.
      • Place one portion of sliced steak in the pan, forming a pile the length of your sub rolls.
      • Fry for about 3 minutes without stirring, allowing some parts to remain pink.

    Step 5: Assemble the Cheesesteaks

    1. Add Vegetables and Cheese:
      • After 3 minutes, top the steak with a quarter of the cooked onion and pepper mixture.
      • Layer with 2 slices of cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of grated mozzarella.
      • Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and the steak is browned.

    Step 6: Serve

    1. Assemble and Enjoy:
      • Split open a soft white sub roll.
      • Use a spatula to scoop the cheesy steak mixture into the roll.
      • Repeat for the remaining portions.
      • Serve with American mustard and ketchup on the side for dipping.

    Extra Easy Tips:

    • Quick Prep: You can prepare the onion and pepper mixture ahead of time to save on cooking time.
    • Freezing: If you're short on time, consider freezing the sliced steak in advance and then marinating it before cooking.
    • Custom Toppings: Feel free to add toppings like jalapeños, pickles, or even extra cheese for added flavor!
    • Serve with Sides: Pair with fries, chips, or a side salad for a complete meal.

    Now you're all set to make delicious Philly Style Cheese Steak effortlessly! Enjoy your cooking!
