Proven way to grow your Philly Cheesesteak
This recipe outlines a proven method to prepare an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, focusing on perfect steak, onions, and cheese for a classic sandwich.
Equipment
- Griddle or large skillet
- Spatula
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak thinly sliced
- 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
- 6 slices Provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz
- 2 hoagie rolls split
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Thinly slice the ribeye steak and onions; set aside.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil.
Cooking
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Increase heat to medium-high, add butter, then spread the steak in a single layer to sear for 1-2 minutes per side; season with salt and pepper.
- Return the onions to the skillet with the steak and mix well, then divide the mixture into two portions on the griddle; top each with Provolone slices or Cheez Whiz.
- Place the hoagie rolls open-face over the steak and cheese, allowing the rolls to steam and the cheese to melt, then scrape the mixture into the rolls and serve hot.
Notes
For an extra kick, add some hot sauce or cherry peppers to your cheesesteak. If you prefer a milder flavor, use white American cheese instead of Provolone.
