- Large cast-iron skillet or griddle
Instructions
Freeze the beef for 20 minutes so it slices paper-thin, then slice it and chop it roughly.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and pepper with a pinch of the salt until soft and golden, 8–10 minutes. Push them to one side.
Turn the heat to high, add the rest of the oil and the beef in a thin layer, and season with the salt and pepper. Cook, chopping and turning with a spatula, until just browned, 2–3 minutes.
Mix in the onions and divide into 4 piles the size of your rolls. Lay 2 slices of cheese over each and let them melt, 1 minute.
Lay an open roll over each pile, slide the spatula underneath and flip everything into the roll. Serve hot.
Notes
- Some shops sell pre-sliced beef for cheesesteaks or hot pot, which saves the slicing step.
