# How to Make It:
01 -
Stick the meat in your freezer for half an hour to make it stiff. Cut it into skinny strips, cut away extra fat, add salt and pepper, and leave it aside.
02 -
Cut the buns long ways about 3/4 through with a bread knife. Blend soft butter with crushed garlic, smear on the open parts, and brown them on a pan with medium fire until they turn gold. Put them aside.
03 -
Warm up 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium fire. Cook onions for 8-10 minutes till they get a bit brown. Move them to a bowl and set aside.
04 -
Turn up the heat to medium-high and pour the leftover 1 tablespoon oil in the pan. Spread out the sliced meat evenly and let it cook without touching it for 2-3 minutes to brown, then turn it over and cook the other face. Throw the browned onions back in, and mix everything together.
05 -
Split the meat and onion mix into 4 equal piles in the pan. Top each pile with 2 slices of provolone cheese and turn off the stove.
06 -
Smear a thin coat of mayo on the toasted parts of the hoagie buns. Put each bun over a pile of cheese-topped steak and flip with a spatula to build your sandwich. Eat right away.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Try adding chopped bell peppers and mushrooms while cooking the onions for better crunch and taste.
