– Description:
This Philly Cheesesteak is a high-protein, flavor-packed sandwich featuring thinly sliced ribeye steak, gooey melted cheese, and a soft, toasted hoagie roll. With the right technique and ingredients, you can achieve the perfect cheesesteak at home.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin, thinly sliced)
- 4 hoagie rolls (lightly toasted)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices provolone cheese, 1/2 cup Cheez Whiz, or 4 slices American cheese
- 1 tbsp oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or hot peppers
Instructions
1. Prepare the Onions
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add oil or butter, then cook the onions until they become golden brown and caramelized.
2. Sear the Steak
Turn the heat to high. Add the thinly sliced steak to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sear for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to brown without stirring too much.
3. Melt the Cheese
Once the steak is cooked, place the cheese directly on top. If using Cheez Whiz, drizzle it over the steak before serving. Cover the pan for 30 seconds to let the cheese melt.
4. Assemble the Cheesesteak
Load the cheesy steak onto the toasted hoagie roll and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add mushrooms or bell peppers to the pan while cooking the onions.
- For the most tender steak, freeze it for 30 minutes before slicing to get paper-thin cuts.
- If using sirloin, add a little oil or butter to prevent dryness.
- Avoid overcooking—steak should be seared quickly to retain moisture and tenderness.
