Flavor-Packed Philly Cheesesteaks: Your New Go-To Recipe
Yields: 4 sandwiches
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
What you'll need:
1.5 lbs thinly sliced ribeye steak
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 large bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
8 slices provolone cheese (or your favorite melty cheese!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 hoagie rolls
4 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings: Thinly sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, mayonnaise, pickled hot peppers
Let's get cooking:
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the thinly sliced ribeye to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the browned steak to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Add the minced garlic, season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir everything together.
Arrange the provolone cheese slices evenly over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is beautifully melted and gooey, about 1-2 minutes.
While the cheese is melting, spread the softened butter on the inside of the split hoagie rolls. Toast the buttered sides in a clean skillet or under a broiler until they are lightly golden and crisp.
Generously spoon the cheesy steak and veggie mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls.
Add any of your favorite optional toppings, such as juicy tomato slices, crisp lettuce, a smear of creamy mayo, or a kick of hot peppers.
Serve these mouthwatering cheesesteaks immediately and enjoy every delicious bite!
Recipe Notes:
For the best flavor, use good quality ribeye steak and slice it thinly against the grain. You can even ask your butcher to do this for you.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as white American, Cooper sharp, or even a blend.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak; work in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.
Want a little extra richness? Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the steak and veggie mixture before adding the cheese.
