Philly cheesesteak sandwich recipe - featured image

A quick and easy homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwich featuring thinly sliced ribeye steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and melty provolone cheese for a nostalgic and comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 68 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Slice the ribeye steak as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. Partially freeze the meat for 20 minutes before slicing to make this easier. Thinly slice the green bell peppers and sweet onions.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Spread the thin steak slices evenly in the pan without overcrowding. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to get a good sear, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until browned but still juicy.
  4. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and toss the steak gently to coat.
  5. Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the steak. Stir everything together for about 1 minute to combine flavors.
  6. Spread butter on the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Toast them in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden and crispy.
  7. Pile the steak and veggie mixture generously into each toasted roll. Top each sandwich with 1-2 slices of provolone cheese. To melt the cheese, either place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for about 1 minute or cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

Partially freezing the steak before slicing helps achieve thin slices. Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking steak to ensure a good sear. Caramelize onions low and slow for best sweetness. Toast rolls to prevent sogginess. Melt cheese by covering the pan or broiling briefly.
