Nothing disappears faster at a cookout than a cheesesteak cut into portions. I made six full subs on the Halo griddle and they were gone in minutes. Simple ingredients, hot griddle, no shortcuts.
What You Need (Makes 6 Subs)
- 3 lbs shaved ribeye
- 6 sesame sub rolls
- 2 large onions, diced
- 12 slices Cooper Sharp cheese
- Neutral oil
How I Made Them
- Heat the griddle. Get the Halo ripping hot on one side, medium on the other. Oil it down.
- Onions first. Diced onions on the medium zone until soft and just starting to brown.
- Ribeye on the hot side. Spread the shaved ribeye out, let it sear, then chop and flip. Mix in the onions.
- Cheese it. Portion the meat into 6 piles, lay 2 slices of Cooper Sharp on each, and let it melt into the beef.
- Roll on top. Cap each pile with a sesame roll, let it steam for 30 seconds, then scoop and flip.
The Cookout Move
Wrap each sub tight in foil for a minute — it steams the roll and sets the cheese. Then cut each one into thirds. Six subs turns into 18 handheld portions, and nobody has to commit to a whole sandwich (though plenty came back for three).
Cooper Sharp is the non-negotiable here. Whiz has its fans, but that sharp melt against seared ribeye and sesame? That’s the sandwich.
