Preheat the outdoor griddle until hot.

Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the griddle.

Add chopped onion to the griddle; sauté until softened and golden brown, about 8 minutes.

Remove onions from heat and set aside.

Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the griddle.

Add 16 ounces of thinly sliced marbled ribeye to the griddle; cook until no longer pink, using spatulas to flip and shred the meat for even cooking.

Combine the cooked onions back into the meat on the griddle.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Form the meat and onion mixture into two piles on the griddle, about the length of the hoagie rolls.

Top each pile with 2 slices of American cheese and 2 slices of provolone cheese; allow cheese to melt.

Prepare the hoagie rolls by slicing them further open, if necessary.

Fill the hoagie rolls with the meat and cheese mixture.
