Firehouse Subs Prime Rib Steak Sub (Copycat Recipe)

The Prime Rib Steak Sub from Firehouse Subs is legendary—a hearty, limited-time favorite stacked with tender prime rib, caramelized onions, provolone cheese, and bold sauces. While their exact recipe is a trade secret, this copycat brings the same rich flavors home with a few key steps: slow-cooked beef, golden onions, and a garlic mayo spread that ties it all together.

Ingredients

For the Prime Rib Steak

  • 1–1.5 lbs prime rib roast (or ribeye/top sirloin)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Caramelized Onions

  • 1 large yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

For the Garlic Mayo

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

For the Sandwich

  • 1 large sub roll or baguette
  • 4–6 slices provolone cheese
  • Deli mustard (to taste)
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Sliced tomato
  • Dill pickle spear (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Prime Rib (Reverse Sear Method)
    • Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
    • Season roast generously with salt and pepper. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
    • Roast until internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (about 125°F/52°C for medium-rare).
    • Rest 15 minutes, then sear in a hot skillet with olive oil for 1–2 minutes per side until browned.
    • Thinly slice against the grain.
  2. Caramelize the Onions
    • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low.
    • Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and sweet.
  3. Make Garlic Mayo
    • Mix mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice (if using). Chill until ready to use.
  4. Assemble the Sub
    • Slice and lightly toast the sub roll.
    • Place provolone slices on one half and broil briefly until melted.
    • On the other half, spread deli mustard and garlic mayo.
    • Layer with caramelized onions, sliced prime rib, lettuce, and tomato.
  5. Finish & Serve
    • Close the sandwich, slice in half, and serve warm with a dill pickle spear.

🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Copycat

  • Wrap the finished sub in foil for a few minutes to mimic Firehouse’s steamed effect.
  • Add extra provolone for a cheesier bite.
  • Use leftover prime rib from a roast dinner—this sub makes it shine.
