The ultimate Philly cheesesteak features thinly sliced ribeye steak, sautéed onions, and melted cheese—traditionally Cheez Whiz, but provolone or American can be used as well. The key is a fresh, soft hoagie roll to hold everything together. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Cheese (Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American)
- 2 hoagie rolls
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or hot peppers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak: Freeze the ribeye for about 30 minutes for easier slicing. Thinly slice it against the grain.
- Cook the Onions: In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until caramelized.
- Cook the Steak: Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through.
- Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and top the steak with cheese, allowing it to melt.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the steak and cheese mixture into the hoagie rolls. Add any additional toppings if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy your cheesesteak hot!
