Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Dairy and Bread:
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz
- 8 slider rolls
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Carefully slice ribeye into ultra-thin strips against the grain for optimal tenderness and texture.
- Chop onions and bell peppers into delicate, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent flavor distribution.
- Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature, then gently sauté onions and bell peppers until they transform into a rich, golden caramelized state, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Remove vegetable medley and increase skillet heat to medium-high, creating an ideal environment for searing steak strips.
- Swiftly cook steak strips for 3-4 minutes, allowing exterior to develop a beautiful brown crust while maintaining inner juiciness, seasoning with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Reunite vegetable mixture with seared steak, stirring briefly to harmonize flavors and create a cohesive filling.
- Prepare oven at 350F, positioning rack in central position and arranging slider rolls on baking sheet.
- Layer steak and vegetable combination generously onto bottom roll halves, then crown with melting cheese slices.
- Crown sliders with top roll sections, then encase entire tray with aluminum foil to preserve moisture.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese becomes luxuriously molten and rolls acquire a subtle, golden crispness.
- Allow sliders to rest momentarily after removing from oven, then slice and serve while warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite remains juicy and flavorful.
- Use thinly sliced ribeye for authentic Philly cheesesteak texture, preventing tough or chewy meat that can ruin the slider experience.
- Consider provolone or white American cheese for traditional flavor, though pepper jack adds a spicy kick for adventurous palates.
- Make gluten-free by substituting slider rolls with gluten-free alternatives or using lettuce wraps for a low-carb version that maintains the classic taste profile.
