How to Make Cheesesteak Sandwiches
1. Finely slice the steak and season with the salt and black pepper then set aside. Finely dice the onion and set aside.
2. Place a frying pan on a high and add the cooking oil. Once heated add the steak and cook for 3 minutes while occasionally stirring. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate. To the same pan, add the onions and cook for around 4 minutes while stirring.
3. Once the onions are soft and slightly caramelised, add the steak back to the pan. Combine the steak with the onions then separate the steak and onions evenly into two separate piles. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese onto each pile and allow them to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat.
4. Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard until well combined then slice the bread rolls longways and spread the mayo mustard inside the bread. Using a slotted spatula or a large spoon, scoop one pile of the meat and onions into each roll then serve.
