Recreate the iconic Philly cheesesteak at home with this recipe, featuring thinly sliced ribeye, grilled onions and peppers, and melted cheese on a soft roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If your steak is not pre-sliced, partially freeze it for 30-60 minutes to make slicing easier. Slice the ribeye as thinly as possible against the grain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the thinly sliced steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. Break up the steak into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  5. Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak. Mix well.
  6. Place the split hoagie rolls cut-side down in the skillet over the meat and vegetable mixture. Top the meat with the Provolone cheese. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. Carefully spoon the cheesesteak mixture into the prepared hoagie rolls.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the thinnest steak slices, use a sharp knife and a partially frozen cut of ribeye.
  • You can substitute American cheese or Cheese Whiz for Provolone if preferred.
  • Ensure your skillet or griddle is very hot before adding the steak for a good sear.
