This recipe recreates the iconic Philly Cheese Steak, a delicious sandwich bursting with flavor.
Ingredients:
- For the Steak:
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (flank steak, ribeye, or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Sandwich:
- 4 hoagie rolls or French bread rolls
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the beef slices with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the beef slices in batches, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter.
- Add the onions and peppers (and mushrooms, if using) and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Place the cooked beef on the bottom half of each roll.
- Top with the sautéed vegetables.
- Sprinkle with provolone and mozzarella cheese.
- Close the rolls and place under a broiler or in a hot oven (about 400°F) for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy your delicious Philly Cheese Steaks while they’re hot!
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor: Add a pinch of garlic powder and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef while cooking.
- Spice it up: Include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the onions and peppers.
- Add some spice: Use a hot pepper cheese like pepper jack instead of provolone.
- Make it vegetarian: Substitute the beef with thinly sliced portobello mushrooms or grilled eggplant.
Enjoy!
