Cook the onions and mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the steak: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned sliced steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the steak tender.

Combine and melt cheese: Return the cooked onions and mushrooms to the skillet with the steak. Mix everything together well. Divide the mixture into four equal portions directly in the skillet. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese (or 1/4 cup Cheez Whiz) over each portion. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Prepare the hoagie rolls: While the cheese is melting, lightly butter the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. You can toast them lightly in a separate dry skillet, under a broiler, or in a toaster oven until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
