Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 8-ounce bone-in rib-eye steaks, at room temperature
Granulated garlic, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (about 2 ounces)
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
4 fresh crusty sub rolls, hinged
1 cup jarred or homemade hot giardiniera, finely chopped in a food processor (see below)

Steps:

  • Heat a little canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle both sides of the rib eyes with granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium-high and place the rib eyes in the skillet without overcrowding. Sear the rib eyes until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the rib eyes and cook until medium/medium-rare, about 4 minutes. Set aside, loosely cover with foil and let rest. Mix the ricotta, Cheddar and provolone in a bowl and reserve.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sweat the onions until soft and slightly golden in color, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Thinly slice the rib eyes and set aside.
  • Divide the onions in 4 piles. Top each pile with a quarter of the cheese mixture, a quarter of the rib eye and an open roll. Let the cheese melt and toast until everything is gooey. Scoop up with a spatula, flip right-side-up and top each with the giardinera. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the griddle: If you overcrowd the griddle, the steak will not cook evenly.
  • Season the steak simply: Just a little bit of salt and pepper is all you need to season the steak.
  • Add the cheese at the end: Add the cheese to the steak just before it is done cooking. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve the steak on a hoagie roll: A hoagie roll is the traditional bread for a Chicago-style cheese steak.
  • Top the steak with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for a Chicago-style cheese steak include grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, and hot giardiniera.
