Easy Philly Cheesesteak Recipe
Description
The Easy Philly Cheesesteak is built from deli-style thin roast beef simmered in a broth seasoned with onion soup mix, creating a flavorful base. While the beef simmers, green bell peppers and onions are sautéed until tender. Cream cheese is melted into the beef mixture for richness and spread onto hoagie rolls.
The assembly involves layering the beef mixture onto rolls, topping with provolone cheese, and broiling just until the cheese becomes bubbly and the bread slightly toasty. The resulting sandwich has a creamy texture from cream cheese balanced by the tender beef and soft, cooked vegetables.
This sandwich can be customized with additions like mushrooms, hot peppers, or traditional condiments. It’s ready to serve immediately after broiling, offering a warm, flavorful handheld meal option.
Optional family-size variation suggests using a loaf of French bread, and adding cheese whiz can mimic an authentic Philly cheesesteak taste.
Ingredients
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 package onion soup mix
- 1 pound roast beef regular roast beef works great too, just make sure it's from the deli and thinly sliced, Black Angus, rare
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 large white onion sliced, or yellow onion
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 8 lices provolone cheese 2 slices per sandwich
- 4 hoagie roll
Instructions
- Bring beef broth and onion soup mix to a boil. Add roast beef, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a large skillet saute onion and green pepper.
- When beef is done simmering, drain juices (you can keep the juice if you want to make an "au jus" dip). Add roast beef to skillet along with about 4 oz. of cream cheese.
- Spread remaining cream cheese on each hoagie roll. When the cream cheese in the skillet is all melted, generously portion beef mixture onto each hoagie roll. Top with provolone cheese and place sandwiches, open-faced on a large baking sheet.
- Broil on high for about a minute or until cheese becomes bubbly and bread becomes slightly toasty.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adding mushrooms, hot peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles can customize the sandwich to taste.
- For larger servings, use a loaf of French bread to create a family-sized sandwich.
- Cheese whiz can be added for a more traditional Philly cheesesteak flavor.
