Philly Cheesesteaks
Description
This Philly Cheesesteaks recipe uses thinly sliced ribeye steak seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked in butter until browned. The green bell peppers and white onions are sautéed separately in butter until softened and starting to brown, then combined with the beef. Provolone cheese slices are layered on top of the meat and vegetable mixture to melt slightly before stirring together.
Each hoagie roll is buttered and placed on foil squares while the beef mixture is divided among the rolls. Additional slices of provolone cheese top the filling, which is then wrapped carefully in foil and baked at 350°F to melt the cheese and warm the sandwiches through. This produces juicy, cheesy steak sandwiches with savory sauteed vegetables and a buttery toasted bread.
These sandwiches are suited for satisfying meals and can be prepared ahead and frozen. The notes recommend ribeye for its well-marbled tenderness or alternatives such as short rib or hanger steak. Hoagie rolls or suitable sandwich rolls create an authentic texture and flavor.
Peppers can be omitted if preferred, and different cheese varieties like American or Velveeta work well. Leftover sandwiches keep refrigerated up to four days and reheat well in oven, toaster oven, or microwave.
Ingredients
- 4 hoagie roll sliced in half lengthwise, or sub roll
- 4 tablespoons butter divided, salted
- ½ green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 white onion peeled, halved and thinly sliced
- 1½ pounds ribeye steak thinly sliced, then roughly chopped, plural
- salt
- black pepper
- 12 lices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place each hoagie roll on a large square of aluminum foil; set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the pepper and onion to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are completely cooked down and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the now-empty skillet. Season the beef with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add back in the peppers and onions and stir to combine. Place 4 slices of the provolone cheese over the mixture and let sit for a minute or two until it starts to melt, then stir into the beef and vegetable mixture until completely combined. Turn off the heat.
- Divide the meat mixture between the four hoagie rolls, topping each with 2 slices of the provolone cheese. Wrap and roll each one tightly in foil, place in the oven, and heat for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Ribeye steak is preferred for its marbling; short rib or hanger steak may substitute for tenderness.
- Use hoagie rolls or similar soft sandwich rolls for authenticity; Amoroso's Hoagie Rolls are recommended if available.
- Peppers add flavor but may be omitted based on preference.
- Provolone cheese is traditional, but American, Velveeta, or Cheez Whiz can be used for a melty texture.
- To freeze, fill hoagies with beef and onion mixture, cool completely, wrap tightly in foil, and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes when ready to serve.
- Store leftovers wrapped in refrigerator up to 4 days; reheat in oven, toaster oven, or microwave.
