Notes

Tips

Low-and-slow caramelization creates the best flavor. The onions become sweet, rich, and irresistible.
Toasting prevents the bread from getting soggy and adds a delicious crunch.
Mixing the provolone directly into the steak creates a rich, cheesy bite every time.
Shave the ribeye so it cooks quickly and stays incredibly tender.
If the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. It will deglaze the pan and lift the brown bits up from the pan and coats the onions without burning them.
