Instructions

  1. 1

    Freeze the ribeye for 30 minutes. Slice it as thinly as possible across the lines of the meat.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced onion. Cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes, then push it to the side.

  4. 4

    Add the beef to the hot griddle. Chop it into small pieces with your spatula edge as it cooks.

  5. 5

    Season the beef with salt and pepper. Stir the cooked onions into the meat.

  6. 6

    Split the beef mixture into two portions on the griddle. Place the cheese on top and let it melt.

  7. 7

    Use your spatula to scoop each cheesy portion into a roll.

  8. 8

    Serve right away with fried long hots (spicy Italian chili peppers) if you like.

Chef's tips

Freeze the ribeye for 30 minutes so you can slice it paper-thin. Chop the meat with your spatula on the griddle, and serve quickly before the melted cheese separates.

Storage

Best eaten immediately; leftover meat and onions keep refrigerated for 2 days but the roll will go soft.

Reheating

Reheat meat and onions in a skillet over medium heat and rebuild the sandwich in a fresh roll.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • β€’Cutting the beef into thick slices instead of thin shavings
  • β€’Using a roll that is too soft to hold the juicy filling
  • β€’Cooking the beef for too long until it turns dry and tough
