Description
The Philly Cheesesteak is a legendary sandwich made with thinly sliced beef, gooey melted cheese, and sautéed onions, all piled on a soft hoagie roll. A true American classic from Philadelphia, it’s hearty, cheesy, and crave-worthy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin)
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- 8 slices Provolone cheese, or 1 cup Cheez Whiz, or 8 slices American cheese
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions (and bell peppers or mushrooms, if using) and sauté until soft and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add thinly sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it up slightly as it cooks.
- Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan and mix with the beef.
- Lay cheese slices over the mixture. Cover and let melt, then stir together until cheesy and combined.
- Toast hoagie rolls if desired, then fill them with the hot beef and cheese mixture.
- Serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Freeze steak for 30–45 minutes before slicing to get ultra-thin slices.
- Cheez Whiz is the most authentic Philadelphia choice, but Provolone and American are popular alternatives.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
