Steak and Cheese Sub

The Steak and Cheese Sub is a hearty sandwich originating from the northeastern United States, featuring thinly sliced or chopped beef cooked with onions and peppers, then melted with cheese—often provolone or Cheez Whiz—on a long, crusty roll. It's a staple of delis, diners, and casual eateries, celebrated for its savory, gooey, and satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
