## Ingredients

- Seeded roll
- 1 pound Shaved ribeye steak
- Cheese Whiz or American cheese (Cooper Sharp recommended)
- Onions
- High smoke point oil (like avocado oil)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 dash Black pepper
- 1 pinch Garlic salt
- Ketchup
- Cherry peppers
- Cherry pepper relish
- Long hots
- Butter

## Instructions

1. Take your shaved ribeye steak and plop it into a hot skillet with high smoke point oil like avocado oil, set to medium heat.
2. Use a spatula and a wooden utensil to shred the meat down finely as it cooks.
3. Once the meat is chopped up, season it with a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a pinch of garlic salt.
4. Take your roll, butter it, and gently toast it in the oven to warm it up.
5. Once your meat is browned, pile it up in the center of the pan.
6. Lay American cheese over your meat in the pan, ensuring not to be skimpy on the cheese.
7. If possible, cover the pan to melt the cheese faster.
8. Once the cheese is almost melted, take your roll and lay it over top of the meat for about 30 seconds.
9. After 30 seconds, use a spatula to get all the steak into the roll.
10. Scoop up any meat you missed and add it into the roll.
11. Immediately place the cheesesteak in tin foil and roll it up tightly to allow the structure of the sandwich to take place.
12. Cut the cheesesteak in half to reveal the thinly shredded meat and melted cheese inside.
13. Serve with optional toppings like ketchup, cherry peppers, cherry pepper relish, or long hots.
