For the Marinated Steak:
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Bourbon Barrel Aged Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Bourbon Smoked Salt

Method:
Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, mix together Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt, Bourbon Smoked Pepper, and minced garlic.

Cook the Steak:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and slightly crispy.
- Mix in the charred onions. Lower the heat and place provolone cheese on top of the steak mixture. Cover for about 30 seconds until the cheese melts.
Assemble the Cheesesteak:
- Load the cheesy steak and onion mixture onto the toasted buns.
- Serve immediately with a side of fries or chips and enjoy!
