The popular sandwich may be served as philly cheese sliders for parties or as a chicken philly sandwich.
Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich-
The classic famous Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is so easy to make at home! The thinly sliced steak is sauteed with mushrooms, green pepper, onion and then topped with provolone cheese. The sandwich is classically served in a hoagie roll with baked french fries, chips, and pickles.
Though the popular sandwich originated from Philadelphia, PA, it has become a staple sandwich in many restaurants across the whole US – because it truly is that good!
How to Make Philly Cheesesteak-
- Prep Meat & Veggies – Thinly slice the meat. Thinly slice the mushrooms, peppers, and onion.
Chef’s TIP: To get the best results, slice the meat as thin as possible. For easier slicing, freeze the meat for 30 minutes before slicing. And don’t forget to use a sharpened knife.
- Saute Veggies: Saute vegetables until tender, remove from skillet, and cover to keep warm.
- Cook Meat: Heat oil in the same skillet and sauté just until meat is browned. Season the meat and add the garlic. Tip- You want the meat to have some pink inside so it’s not overcooked as it continues to cook with the vegetables.
- Cheese: Add the cheese and turn the heat down. Close the lid and cook until the cheese melts.
- Hoagies: Toast sandwich rolls and spread with mayo (mayo is optional). Divide the ingredients from the skillet between two rolls.
What’s the Best Meat for Philly Cheesesteak?
In a traditional Philly sandwich, rib-eye is used. However, we’ve experimented with top round, skirt steak, and flank steak with great results. The secret is in cutting the meat into really thin slices.
What is the Best Cheese for a Cheesesteak Sandwich?
Provolone and American cheese are most commonly used in a Philly sandwich. You can also use Mozzarella and Swiss cheese as substitutes.
Philly Cheesesteak Seasonings-
The only seasoning you need in a traditional Philly Cheesesteak is salt and pepper.
I love the added flavor garlic and paprika five the Philly sandwich. They are not traditional ingredients for a Philly sandwich but make this recipe, the best! The garlic adds so much flavor to the meat and veggies.
If you’ve never tried making Philly Cheesesteak at home, give it a try. Especially if you ever want something good but quick for busy dinners or a hearty lunch.
