How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by slicing your ribeye steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps keep each bite tender and easy to chew. Slice your onions and green peppers into thin strips as well.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and add sliced onions and green peppers. Cook until onions turn translucent and begin to caramelize, about 5–7 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen!
Cook the Steak: Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and add your sliced ribeye steak. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until cooked through but still tender, about 3–5 minutes.
Add Cheese: Once the steak is cooked, layer provolone cheese over the meat mixture in the skillet. Cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt perfectly into gooey goodness.
Create Your Sandwich: Slice open your hoagie rolls while keeping one side intact like a book cover. Stuff each roll generously with the cheesy meat mixture from the skillet.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm with chips or fries on the side if you’re feeling indulgent! Prepare yourself for compliments—these sandwiches are showstoppers!
This recipe transforms an ordinary weeknight dinner into an unforgettable feast filled with laughter, memories, and perhaps more than just a bit of melted cheese on your chin!
