Description
Make authentic Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches at home with thinly sliced steak, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese on a soft hoagie roll. Follow our easy recipe for a taste of Philadelphia!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced (optional)
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: mushrooms, hot peppers
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers (if using) and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the same skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the steak and mix well. Reduce the heat to low. Arrange the provolone cheese slices over the steak and vegetable mixture, covering it as much as possible. Allow the cheese to melt completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, divide the steak and cheese mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls. Scoop the mixture into the rolls, making sure each sandwich is generously filled.
- Wrap the homemade cheesesteak in foil or parchment paper, if desired, to help keep it warm and contained. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches! Add your favorite toppings like hot peppers or mushrooms for a personalized touch.
Notes
- For easier slicing, partially freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before cutting.
- Use a sharp knife or meat slicer for the thinnest possible slices.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak; cook in batches if necessary.
- For a spicier kick, add some hot peppers or a dash of hot sauce to the Philly cheesesteak filling.
- Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, American, or even cheese whiz for a truly authentic experience.
