Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, (you can also use ribeye, sirloin, or Porterhouse)
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
  • 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces Provolone cheese, grated or sliced
  • ¼ cup cheez Whiz warmed
  • pickles, optional
  • aioli sauce

Instructions

  • Place the tenderloin in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes (to make slicing easier).
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet; add the buns to the melted butter and toast them on all sides.
    Transfer buns to a plate and keep covered.
  • Heat 1-½ tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet; add the sliced onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir frequently.
    Remove onions and peppers from skillet and transfer to a plate; keep covered.
  • Take the meat out of the freezer, and cut into very thin slices.
  • Preheat the same skillet to high heat. Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet. Cook the sliced steak for 1 minute on each side.
  • Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Place the Provolone cheese on top of the meat and vegetables to melt.
  • Once the cheese has melted, take the skillet off the heat and evenly divide the cheesesteak mixture among the toasted buns.
  • Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Cheez Whiz over each cheesesteak sandwich, and add pickles, if desired.
  • Spread a small amount of aioli on the top bun before placing it on top of the burger.
  • Serve.
