- 2 hoagie rolls, sliced open
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- Place the ribeye in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing (this makes it easier to cut thinly).
- Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and bell peppers, cooking until soft and caramelized (about 8 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Steak
- Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced ribeye to the skillet.
- Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until steak is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesesteaks
- Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet, mixing them with the steak.
- Divide the mixture into two portions in the pan and top each with provolone cheese.
- Allow cheese to melt, then scoop the mixture onto toasted hoagie rolls.
- 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.
