Savor the deliciousness of a classic Philly cheesesteak with this easy recipe. Tender beef, melted cheese, and sautéed onions all come together on a warm hoagie roll, creating the perfect sandwich. This special recipe is ideal for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or sirloin for a leaner option)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 hoagie rolls (or any soft sandwich rolls)
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz for a more authentic taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: bell peppers, mushrooms, or other desired toppings
Method:
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
Freeze the ribeye steak for about 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly. Using a sharp knife, slice the steak as thinly as possible, against the grain.
Step 2: Sauté the Onions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Steak
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Heat it over medium-high heat and add the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through. If using, add any additional toppings like bell peppers or mushrooms and cook until softened.
Step 4: Combine the Steak and Onions
Once the steak is cooked, return the sautéed onions to the pan and stir to combine. Allow everything to cook together for another minute or two, so the flavors meld.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesesteaks
Cut the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through, leaving the rolls hinged. Place a generous amount of the beef and onion mixture into each roll. Top with 1 slice of provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz if preferred). If you’re using provolone, you can briefly toast the sandwich under a broiler to melt the cheese or simply cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 6: Serve
Serve the cheesesteaks hot, with optional sides like fries or a simple salad.
