Philly cheesesteak
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced mushrooms, jalapeños, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the ribeye steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Thinly slice the onion and green bell pepper.
- Cook the Steak and Vegetables:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add the sliced onions and green peppers to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the Cheesesteak:
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Slice the hoagie rolls or sub rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through. Open them up like a book.
- Place a layer of provolone cheese on one side of each roll.
- Divide the cooked steak evenly among the rolls, placing it on top of the cheese.
- Add a layer of the cooked onions and green peppers on top of the steak.
- Place another layer of provolone cheese over the vegetables.
- Broil the Cheesesteaks:
- Place the assembled cheesesteaks on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler in the preheated oven.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the rolls are lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Remove the cheesesteaks from the oven.
- Optionally, add any desired toppings such as sliced mushrooms, jalapeños, mayonnaise, or ketchup.
- Close the rolls and cut each cheesesteak in half.
- Serve hot and enjoy your classic Philly Cheesesteaks!
Tips:
- For an authentic touch, you can use Cheez Whiz as the cheese topping instead of provolone.
- Customize your Philly Cheesesteaks with additional toppings like sautéed mushrooms, hot peppers, or even pickles for extra flavor.
- Make sure to use a hot griddle or skillet to get a nice sear on the steak and vegetables.
