Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches are a classic American favorite featuring thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, and sautéed onions served in a toasted hoagie roll. It’s a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying sandwich perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin or flank steak)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese, Cheez Whiz, or American cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced onions (and bell peppers and mushrooms if using) and sauté for 6–8 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the skillet if needed and cook the thinly sliced beef in batches, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  4. Return the vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
  5. Top each portion with cheese and allow it to melt. Alternatively, stir in melted Cheez Whiz if using.
  6. Toast the hoagie rolls until lightly crisped.
  7. Use a spatula to scoop the beef and cheese mixture into each toasted roll. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Freeze the steak slightly before slicing to make thin slices easier.
  • Use a mix of cheeses for a richer flavor profile.
  • Prepare the meat and veggies ahead of time for quick assembly.
  • Toast the bread just before serving for the best texture.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings like hot peppers or garlic aioli.
