- 1 lb thinly shaved ribeye steak (or sirloin, flank steak)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 12 slices provolone cheese (or Cooper Sharp cheese)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- In a separate pan, heat oil and cook onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half. Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides and toast them in the oven for 5-6 minutes until golden.
- Layer the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish, then top with steak, caramelized onions and peppers, and provolone cheese.
- Place the top half of the rolls on top, pressing down gently.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese melts, then uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
