Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ribeye steak, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 8 slices mild provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls, sliced 3/4 through
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 2-4 tbsp mayonnaise, or to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Hoagie Rolls:
    • Slice the hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through using a serrated knife.
    • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the pressed garlic.
    • Spread the garlic butter onto the cut sides of the hoagie rolls.
    • Toast the buns on a large skillet, flat cooktop, or griddle over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Onions:
    • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to your pan or cooktop and sauté the diced onions until caramelized. Transfer the onions to a bowl.
  3. Cook the Steak:
    • Increase the heat to high and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
    • Spread the thinly sliced steak in an even layer on the pan.
    • Let the steak brown for a couple of minutes without disturbing it, then flip it and season with sea salt and black pepper.
    • Sauté until the steak is fully cooked, then stir in the caramelized onions.
  4. Assemble the Cheesesteaks:
    • Divide the steak and onion mixture into 4 equal portions in the pan.
    • Top each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese and turn off the heat, allowing the cheese to melt without overcooking the meat.
  5. Prepare the Rolls:
    • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted side of each hoagie roll.
    • Working with one portion at a time, place a toasted bun over each portion of cheesy steak.
    • Use a spatula to scrape the cheesy beef into the bun as you flip it over.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the Philly cheesesteaks warm and enjoy!
