Method
Caramelize the vegetables
- Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add the oil. The surface should shimmer slightly before you add the vegetables.
- Cook the onions and bell peppers until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, then set aside. Look for deep golden-brown edges and reduced volume before removing.
Cook the steak and melt the cheese
- Season the steak with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes, chopping with spatulas. The pieces should brown and separate as they cook.
- Divide the steak into 4 portions, top each with the caramelized vegetables and 2 slices of provolone. Continue cooking just until the provolone melts and begins to pull away in strands.
Toast and assemble sandwiches
- Butter and toast the hoagie rolls on the griddle until golden. Toasted sides should feel crisp and look lightly browned.
- Scoop the steak mixture into the rolls, add mayo if desired, and serve immediately. Aim for overflowing melted cheese over the filling for the classic cheesesteak pull.
Notes
For the best griddle results, cook in batches if your griddle crowding prevents browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or on the griddle to re-melt the cheese. Freezing isn’t recommended because provolone texture can turn grainy after thawing. Swap mayo for Dijon-mayo or a light spread if you want a lower-fat, still creamy finish.
