Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (Print Version)

Thinly sliced ribeye, sautéed onions, melted cheese on soft rolls for a classic Philly meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Beef

01 - 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced (partially frozen for easier slicing)

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

→ Cheese

04 - 8 slices provolone cheese (alternative: American cheese or Cheese Whiz)

→ Bread

05 - 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

→ Condiments & Cooking

06 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Place ribeye steak in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes, then slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers if using, cook stirring until soft and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced beef in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook stirring until just browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Return onions and bell peppers to the skillet and mix with the beef.
05 - Divide the mixture into four portions in the skillet. Place 2 slices of cheese over each and allow to melt for approximately 1 minute.
06 - Split hoagie rolls lengthwise, keeping one side intact. Toast lightly if desired.
07 - Using a spatula, lift each cheesy beef portion and place into prepared rolls. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

  • Highly Satisfying: Packed with protein and flavor, it's a meal that truly fills you up.
  • Simple Ingredients: Made with accessible ingredients for a straightforward cooking process.
02 -
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Slice the beef thinly and cook it quickly over medium-high heat just until browned. This keeps it tender and juicy.
  • Toast Your Rolls: Lightly toasting the inside of your hoagie rolls prevents them from getting soggy and adds a nice textural contrast.
  • Melt the Cheese on Top: After combining the beef and onions, create portions in the skillet and melt the cheese directly on top. This creates a gooey, integrated filling that's easier to transfer to the roll.
  • Choose Your Cheese: For an authentic taste, use Cheez Whiz. Provolone or American cheese are also excellent and popular choices.
