Philly Cheesesteak – The Ultimate Classic Sandwich

The Philly Cheesesteak is one of the most iconic sandwiches in American cuisine, originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This hearty and flavorful sandwich consists of thinly sliced ribeye steak, melted provolone cheese, and sautéed onions, all packed into a toasted hoagie roll. Some variations also include toppings like sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or even a drizzle of provolone cheese Whiz for extra richness.

What makes a Philly Cheesesteak truly special is the quality of the steak. Ribeye is the preferred choice due to its tender texture and rich marbling, which creates a juicy and flavorful bite. The steak is cooked on a hot griddle, where it is chopped and seared to perfection, blending with the caramelized onions for a deep, savory taste. The cheese is then melted over the steak, creating a gooey, irresistible filling that makes each bite incredibly satisfying.

The hoagie roll plays a crucial role in the experience. It should be soft yet sturdy, capable of holding the generous filling without becoming soggy. Many people prefer to toast the roll with butter, adding a slight crunch that enhances the overall texture.

Philly Cheesesteaks are not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare. Whether you’re making them for a family dinner, game day, or a casual meal, they are always a crowd-pleaser. Serve with fries, coleslaw, or a side salad for a complete meal.

If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Philadelphia, this Philly Cheesesteak recipe is a must-try. Enjoy the combination of savory steak, melty cheese, and toasted bread, all in one incredible sandwich! 🍽️😋

Ingredients
  • 1 lb (450g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Optional: Sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms
Instructions
    1. Prepare the Steak:

      • Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing (this makes it easier to slice thinly).
      • Use a sharp knife to cut the steak into very thin strips.
    2. Sauté the Onions:

      • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
      • Add the sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
    3. Cook the Steak:

      • In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced steak.
      • Season with salt and black pepper.
      • Cook over high heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
    4. Melt the Cheese:

      • Reduce heat to low and place the sautéed onions back into the skillet with the steak.
      • Place slices of provolone cheese over the steak and let it melt. Stir gently to combine.
    5. Prepare the Hoagie Rolls:

      • Lightly butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in a pan or under a broiler for a few minutes until golden brown.
    6. Assemble the Sandwiches:

      • Divide the steak and cheese mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
      • Serve hot and enjoy!
