Ingredients
- Crusty rolls
- 4 rolls
- Provolone cheese
- 8 slices
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Green bell pepper
- 1, sliced
- Onion
- 1 large, sliced
- Ribeye steak
- 1 pound, thinly sliced
- Hot sauce
- to taste (optional)
- Cheez Whiz
- to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they soften and develop a light caramelization. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the sautéed onions and green bell peppers to the skillet with the cooked steak. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Place the provolone cheese slices on top of the steak mixture and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the crusty rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast them on a grill or in the oven until golden brown.
- Divide the cheesy steak mixture evenly among the toasted rolls. Use a spatula to transfer the mixture carefully.
- For an extra kick, drizzle hot sauce or add a generous spoonful of Cheez Whiz over the filling before closing the sandwiches.
- Serve immediately while hot and gooey. Enjoy your delicious journey to Philly!
Tips
- For a unique twist, try adding sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños to the filling.
- If you prefer a more traditional approach, use Cheez Whiz for that authentic Philadelphia flavor.
- Pair your cheesesteak with a side of crispy fries or onion rings for a complete meal.
