Units
Scale
- 450 gram Ribeye steak, thinly sliced (Note 1)
- 30 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 Medium onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4 Slices of Provolone cheese
- 4 Hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Optional Toppings:
- 1 Bell pepper, thinly sliced and sauteed (Note 3)
- 200g Mushrooms, thinly sliced and sauteed (Note 2)
- 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- Ketchup, mayo or hot sauce to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Steak:
- If the steak slices are too large, you can give them a rough chop. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper to taste.
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 15ml of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions until its slightly caramelised, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- See note 2-3 if you want to add mushrooms or bell peppers.
Cook the Steak:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 15ml of oil.
- Add the seasoned steak slices and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- If you’re using a large quantity of meat, you may need to cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to steaming instead of searing.
Assemble the Cheesesteak:
- Push the cooked steak slices to one side of the skillet and place the sautéed onions on top of the steak slices.
- Lay the slices of provolone cheese over the steak and onions. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Shape and Serve:
- Using a spatula, carefully scoop up the melted cheese, steak and onion on to the split hoagie rolls.
Add Toppings and serve:
- You can enjoy the Philly Cheesesteak as is, or you can add optional toppings like sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, ketchup, mayo, or hot sauce.
- Serve the Philly Cheesesteaks warm and enjoy!
Remember that the exact ratios and ingredients can vary based on personal preferences and regional variations. Some folks even like to drizzle a bit of olive oil or melted butter on the rolls before assembling. Enjoy your homemade Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches!
