Ingredients

Sauteed Onions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion large, chopped
  • 1-2 medium bell peppers any color (optional, but I love them!)
Cheesesteak Sandwiches
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2-3 pounds shaved beef steak thawed, see notes for other options
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce  Lea + Perrin's is gluten-free FYI
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4-6 slices Provolone cheese or use your favorite cheese
  • 4-6 slices white American cheese from the Deli (optional)
  • 6 Hoagie rolls Amorosa, Italian or French rolls (rolls with a crusty top are best)
  • 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
Optional Add-in
  • 1 box sliced mushrooms

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Before starting the recipe, prepare all ingredients and generously salt (1 tsp) and pepper (½ tsp) your shaved beef steak.
  2. Add garlic (1 clove, pressed) to butter (2 TBL) in a small bowl and mix until combined. Spread onto sliced hoagie rolls (6) with garlic butter and set aside.
  3. Preheat the Blackstone to medium-high heat. Spread a thin layer of oil over the surface of the flattop griddle. Add butter (2 TBL) using the spatula spread oil over section of the griddle where you will be cooking and saute the onions for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Scoot to the side where they can continue cooking but on the cooler side.
  4. Add shaved steak (2-3 lbs) to the same area where you cooked the onions (hello flavor) and cook chopping up the meat with your spatula and bench scraper and flipping until the steak is not longer pink, it will just take a few minutes. Incorporate the onions and peppers with the steak; if using, pour the Worcestershire sauce (2-4 TBL) evenly over the top and mix together.
  5. Divide the steak mixture into the number of sandwiches you are making, then layer the cheese over the top of the steak mixture (1-2 slices per sandwich).
  6. While the cheese is melting, add the hoagie rolls to the griddle and grill until browned.
You can load up your cheesesteaks one of two ways:
    Cup of Yum
  1. 1. Keep the hoagie rolls as one roll, lay on top of the meat mixture, and use your spatula and hand to flip it into the roll and serve! Or
  2. 2. Using your spatula scoop up the cheesesteak mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls, and serve immediately.
  3. We like to serve them with Steak Fries and a crisp green salad or crudite.

Notes

  • knife
  • Variations
  • How to Shave the Steak: Roll and wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, use a sharp knife to slice it very thin, like you're chipping away at the steak. Most grocery stores carry this cut.
  • Refrigerate - Store your leftover Philly cheesesteak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. It's best to store the rolls separately from the cheese and steak mixture to avoid a soggy sandwich.
  • How to Freeze - You can freeze this recipe for longer storage – Keep it in an airtight container for three months.
  • Reheating - To warm up the shaved steak sandwiches, add the ingredients to the griddle on medium heat until heated, or in a hot skillet.
  • Authentic Philly Cheesesteak: As described in my shaved steak sandwich recipe, you cannot get a truly authentic Philly Cheesesteak outside of Philly, so while this isn't authentic, it is a darn good copy!
  • Add Heat: Enjoy with hot sauce, or add pickled jalapenos or pepperoncini!
  • Cheese: Use your family favorite, whether provolone like ours, white American cheese, cheddar, pepper jack, or traditional cheesesteak Cheez Whiz. 
  • Smother it in Sauce: Add Cotija Cilantro dressing, ranch, or another creamy sauce.
  • Extras: For extra flavor, load 'em up with mushrooms, hot peppers, or pickles. Try my quick and easy pickled red onions recipe.
  • Serve with steak fries, potato chips, BBQ chips, sweet potato chips, crudite or a crisp green salad.
