Philly Cheesesteak Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye steak thinly sliced
  • 2 Amoroso hoagie rolls or any soft hoagie roll
  • 1/2 cup Cheez Whiz or provolone/American cheese
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the ribeye steak. If needed, freeze for 30 minutes before slicing for easier cutting.
  • Heat a griddle or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil.
  • Saute the onions in butter until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Increase heat to high and cook the ribeye steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, chopping with a spatula as it browns.
  • If using provolone or American cheese, place slices on top of the hot steak and let them melt. If using Cheez Whiz, warm it separately.
  • Lightly toast the hoagie rolls to prevent sogginess.
  • Assemble the sandwich by loading the steak into the roll and topping with melted cheese and sautéed onions.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For the most authentic Philly cheesesteak experience, use Amoroso hoagie rolls and Cheez Whiz. Avoid adding extra toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or mayo.
