Ingredients
Sandwich
- 4 hoagie or sub rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- ½ (0.5) green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 white onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
- 1½ pounds (680.39 g) ribeye steaks, thinly sliced, then roughly chopped
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the green bell pepper and peel, halve, and thinly slice the white onion to ensure even cooking and release of their natural sweetness.
- Cook the vegetables. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the salted butter. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, sautéing until they are soft and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the steak. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add the thinly sliced and chopped ribeye steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through but still tender.
- Combine steak with vegetables. Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak, mixing everything together and cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Melt the cheese. Reduce the heat to low, then lay slices of provolone cheese evenly over the steak and vegetable mixture. Allow the cheese to melt gently, covering the skillet with a lid if necessary to speed melting.
- Toast the rolls. While the cheese melts, toast the hoagie or sub rolls by spreading a thin layer of butter inside and placing them cut side down on a separate skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Fill each toasted roll with the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture, dividing it evenly among the four rolls. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.
Notes
- For a more authentic taste, use ribeye steak as it is tender and flavorful, but sirloin works as a leaner substitute.
- Adjust the quantity of onions and peppers according to your preference for vegetables.
- If you prefer, add hot sauce or pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Provolone cheese is traditional, but American cheese or Cheez Whiz are common alternatives.
- Use fresh hoagie rolls for best texture; toasting is key for preventing sogginess.
