Classic Philly Cheesesteak
Indulge in a classic Philly Cheesesteak featuring thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz, all nestled in a fresh hoagie roll.
Equipment
- Large skillet or griddle
- Spatulas
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye Steak thinly sliced
- 1 large Onion thinly sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper thinly sliced (optional)
- 6-8 slices Provolone Cheese or 1/2 cup Cheez Whiz
- 4-6 Hoagie Rolls fresh and sturdy
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Sauté the thinly sliced onions (and bell peppers, if using) for 8-10 minutes until softened and caramelized, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet and increase heat to high. Add the thinly sliced ribeye in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
- Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces with two spatulas, then cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak and mix everything together.
- Divide the mixture into sections on the skillet, top with cheese slices or Cheez Whiz, and cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Lightly toast hoagie rolls while the cheese melts. Scoop the cheesy steak mixture into each roll and serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the onions. You can also customize your cheesesteak with other toppings like mushrooms or hot peppers.
