Ingredients:

• 1.5 pounds of ribeye steak, thinly sliced

• 2 medium-sized onions, thinly sliced

• 4 to 6 slices of provolone cheese

• 4 to 6 hoagie rolls

• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional toppings: sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or hot peppers

Step 1: Preparing the Traeger Flatrock Griddle

1. Preheat your Traeger Flatrock griddle according to the manufacturer's instructions. Aim for a medium-high heat setting, around 400°F (205°C), to achieve a nice sear on the steak and onions.

Step 2: Searing the Steak

1. Season the thinly sliced ribeye steak with salt and pepper.

2. Drizzle some vegetable oil on the hot griddle and spread it evenly using a spatula.

3. Place the seasoned steak slices on the griddle, ensuring they're evenly distributed. Allow them to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they develop a beautiful sear.

4. Flip the steak slices using tongs and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember, a Philly cheesesteak typically features thinly sliced and tender steak, so avoid overcooking.

Step 3: Sautéing the Onions

1. While the steak is cooking, spread the thinly sliced onions evenly on the griddle next to the steak.

2. Drizzle some vegetable oil over the onions and season them with salt and pepper.

3. Stir the onions occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.

4. Sauté the onions for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until they turn soft and develop a golden-brown color.

Step 4: Assembling the Cheesesteak

1. Once the steak and onions are cooked to perfection, combine them on the griddle, mixing them together to enhance the flavors.

2. Lay the slices of provolone cheese on top of the steak and onions, allowing the cheese to melt and create a gooey layer of deliciousness.

3. Use a spatula to carefully transfer the cheesy steak and onions onto the hoagie rolls.

4. Optionally, you can add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or hot peppers to further enhance the flavor profile of your Philly cheesesteak.

Step 5: Serving and Enjoying

1. Slice the assembled cheesesteak sandwiches in half or into smaller portions for easy handling.

2. Serve your mouthwatering Philly cheesesteaks immediately while they're still warm and the cheese is perfectly melted.

3. Pair your sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as crispy french fries, coleslaw, or pickles.

4. Enjoy the delectable combination of flavors, textures, and the irresistible smoky twist from your Traeger Flatrock griddle.
