Description

This easy classic Philly cheesesteak recipe delivers authentic flavor at home with tender sliced steak, melted provolone, caramelized onions, and toasted hoagie rolls.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs top sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Freeze steak for 30 minutes, then slice very thin and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix butter with garlic and spread on hoagie rolls. Toast until golden and set aside.
  3. Sauté onions in 1 tbsp oil for 8–10 minutes until caramelized. Remove.
  4. Cook steak in remaining oil over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Return onions (and peppers if using) to skillet and mix with steak.
  6. Divide into portions and top with provolone cheese. Let melt.
  7. Spread mayonnaise on toasted rolls.
  8. Fill rolls with steak mixture and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freezing the steak helps achieve paper-thin slices.
  • Use ribeye for more authentic flavor and tenderness.
  • Cheese whiz can be substituted for provolone if desired.
