Description

Delicious steak and cheese sandwiches made with caramelized onions and provolone.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter (for cooking steak)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for toasting bread)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 slices sharp white cheddar (optional)
  • 8 slices thick-cut sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook for 20–25 minutes until golden and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire (if using). Cook for 2–4 minutes until just browned.
  3. Lay out bread slices. Spread butter on one side of each slice.
  4. On the unbuttered side, layer 1 slice of provolone, steak, onions, and another slice of provolone or cheddar. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly to help the cheese melt evenly.
  6. Flip and continue grilling until bread is golden and cheese fully melted.
  7. Let rest 1–2 minutes before slicing and serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add sautéed mushrooms.
  • Always use good quality cheese for the best melt.
