Ingredients

  • 4 (8-inch) hoagie rolls, homemade preferred
  • 2 3/4 ounces blended canola/olive oil, 60/40 ratio
  • 10 ounces sliced thin sweet onions in 1/16-inch slices
  • 28 ounces sliced thin rib-eye steak in 1/16-inch slices
  • 2 ounces melted sweet butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Provolone cheese

Directions

Optional ingredients: homemade tomato sauce, bell peppers, mushrooms, or your favorite cheese

For the hoagies:

Preheat frying pan over medium-high heat. Cut the hoagie rolls horizontally to open up and make a pocket. Add the blended oil to the pan and stir in the onions. Put the steak on top of onions and add 1/2-ounce of the butter. Cover the pan for 2 1/2 minutes. The meat should have a cooked appearance on top and rare underneath. Using a fork and spatula separate steak from the onions. When the meat is cooked add the salt, remaining butter, and provolone. Cover to the pan to melt the cheese. Divide the steak mixture among the hoagie rolls and serve. If you like, you can add the optional ingredients to the steak mixture before serving.

    I was basically Raised by my best friend's parents Bill and Theresa who both went to Sonny's as kids they brought me to Sonny's probably for the first time at age 7. Now I live in east Fort Lauderdale and whenever I have anything to do in Hollywood I make it a point to stop in and grab a bite. For me the place has not changed in 25 yrs. Thank you John and staff for making Sonny's a place I can remember and the wonderful people who make up my fondest memories growing up.....Deborah Silver-Mullin

    I have to tell you I love this show and usually you want to eat everything you see for the most part. I live near Sonny's and have been dying to go there since seeing this episode. I finally made it there last week and ordered a 90 which is meat and onion with cheese and a 50 meat, sauce and onion plus cheese. I will have to tell you I was so disappointed it wasnt even worth the calories!!!! The bread was a bit chewy and the meat had absolutely NO FLAVOR!!! What a disappointment, my husband even had to salt and pepper his to give it some flavor. Have to agree with the other comment not enough onions and the sandwich was on the small side and very greasy!1

    I grew up outside South Philadelphia and I had my share of cheese Steaks and I found this sandwich to be the best I've found in South Florida. The generous portion of meet in a perfect matching roll. I could eat there 3 times a week and still spend less than $20....
