  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz for an authentic twist)
  • 2 hoagie rolls, sliced open
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Place the ribeye in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing (this makes it easier to cut thinly).
  2. Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and bell peppers, cooking until soft and caramelized (about 8 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

  1. Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced ribeye to the skillet.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until steak is browned and cooked through.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesesteaks

  1. Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet, mixing them with the steak.
  2. Divide the mixture into two portions in the pan and top each with provolone cheese.
  3. Allow cheese to melt, then scoop the mixture onto toasted hoagie rolls.
  4. Spread mayonnaise on the rolls if desired, then serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak

  • Use Quality Beef – Ribeye provides the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Thinly Slice the Steak – Freezing it beforehand makes slicing easier.
  • Choose Your Cheese – Provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz all work great.
  • Toast the Hoagie Rolls – Adds an extra layer of texture and flavor.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
