Philly Cheesesteak
The Philly cheesesteak is an iconic sandwich from Philadelphia, made with thinly sliced ribeye steak, melted cheese, and a soft hoagie roll.
Equipment
- Griddle or Cast Iron Pan
Ingredients
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.
