A Philly Cheesesteak is a classic sandwich loaded with thinly sliced beef, sautéed onions, and melted provolone cheese on a soft hoagie roll. This homemade version delivers all the rich, savory flavor of the iconic Philadelphia favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • American cheese (optional)
  • Cheese sauce (optional)
  • White American cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the steak in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to make slicing easier.
  2. Slice the steak as thinly as possible.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the onions and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes.
  5. Add the bell peppers and mushrooms if using and cook until tender.
  6. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
  7. Add the sliced steak to the hot skillet.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper.
  9. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is just cooked through.
  10. Return the vegetables to the skillet and mix with the beef.
  11. Divide the mixture into four portions in the skillet.
  12. Place two slices of provolone cheese over each portion and allow the cheese to melt.
  13. Open the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them if desired.
  14. Scoop each cheesy beef mixture into a roll.
  15. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Partially freezing the steak makes it easier to slice very thinly.
  • Ribeye provides the most traditional flavor and tenderness.
  • Peppers and mushrooms are optional but add extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the cooked meat mixture in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze the cooked beef mixture for up to 2 months.
  • Serve with fries, onion rings, chips, or coleslaw.
