A classic sandwich filled with tender beef, sautéed onions, and melted cheese—this Philly Cheesesteak recipe brings a taste of Philadelphia right to your kitchen! Perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 oz (225g) provolone cheese or American cheese slices
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for spreading on rolls)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions (and bell pepper if using) and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through.
  4. Return the cooked onions (and peppers) to the skillet with the beef. Stir together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Divide the beef mixture into four portions in the skillet. Place cheese slices on top of each portion, and cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. While the cheese is melting, toast the hoagie rolls in another skillet with butter until golden and crispy.
  7. Once the cheese has melted, use a spatula to scoop the beef mixture into the toasted rolls.
  8. Spread mayonnaise (if desired) on the inside of the rolls before adding the beef and cheese mixture.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can skip the bell pepper if you prefer a simpler version.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding hot peppers or a little garlic to the onions while sautéing.
