A quick and easy homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwich with crispy edges, juicy beef, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese on toasted hoagie rolls. Perfect for a comforting meal any day of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese (or American cheese)
  • 4 hoagie rolls or Italian rolls, split but not all the way through
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Optional: hot or sweet peppers for topping
  • Optional: mayonnaise or your favorite sandwich spread
  • Optional: fresh parsley or oregano for garnish

Instructions

  1. Freeze ribeye or sirloin for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Slice thinly against the grain about 1/8-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and green peppers; cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute. Remove veggies and set aside.
  3. Add more oil if needed, increase heat to high, and add steak strips in a single layer. Sear without stirring for about 2 minutes to develop crispy edges. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until browned but juicy.
  4. Lower heat to medium, return onions and peppers to skillet with steak. Mix gently and warm through for about 2 minutes.
  5. Layer provolone slices evenly over steak and veggies. Cover skillet with lid or foil and melt cheese for 2-3 minutes until gooey and bubbling.
  6. Spread softened butter inside hoagie rolls. Toast rolls in a separate pan or under broiler until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.
  7. Spoon cheesy steak and vegetable mixture into toasted rolls. Add optional toppings like hot peppers or mayonnaise if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while hot with melty cheese and crispy bread.

Notes

Freeze the steak slightly before slicing for thinner cuts. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing to get crispy edges. Use a lid to melt cheese to trap heat and reduce waiting. Butter the rolls before toasting to keep bread crispy and flavorful. For leftovers, reheat in oven to avoid soggy bread.
