  • Total Time: 45-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided (or as needed)

– 1 sweet yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced

– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

– 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

– 2Β½ to 3 pounds petite sirloin, thinly sliced

– 1 Β½ teaspoons seasoned salt or other all-purpose seasoning, divided

– 1 teaspoon garlic pepper, divided

– 8 hoagie rolls

– 6 tablespoons softened butter

– 7 ounces sliced provolone cheese (7 slices)

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare the Beef Begin by placing the beef in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. This makes slicing easier and helps you get thin, even pieces that cook quickly.

2-Second Step: Cook the Vegetables Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, deep sautΓ© pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, then cook them until very tender without browning, stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes. Once done, set the cooked vegetables aside to keep their fresh taste intact.

3-Third Step: Slice and Season the Beef Remove the beef from the freezer, trim any fat, and slice it thinly against the grain. Chop the slices into small pieces about ΒΌ-inch for the best texture. This step ensures the meat stays juicy and absorbs flavors well, and you can adapt it for dietary needs by using a leaner cut if watching calories.

4-Fourth Step: Cook the Beef Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining oil to the pan. Cook half of the beef pieces, seasoned with ΒΎ teaspoon of seasoned salt and Β½ teaspoon of garlic pepper, until no pink remains, which takes 4-5 minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to the vegetables, then repeat with the rest of the beef and seasoning for even cooking.

5-Fifth Step: Toast the Rolls Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Split the hoagie rolls without separating them fully, spread the inside with softened butter, and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden, which adds a nice crunch and prevents sogginess from the fillings.

6-Sixth Step: Melt the Cheese and Assemble Drain any excess juices from the pan, then return all the beef and vegetable mixture to it. Layer the provolone slices on top, cover the pan, and let the cheese melt over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Stir the cheese into the mixture to blend everything, then transfer it to the toasted rolls for serving. For variations, add more veggies if you prefer a lighter option.

7-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy Once assembled, serve your Philly Cheesesteak right away while it’s hot and gooey. The total prep time is 20 minutes, cook time 25 minutes, and it’s ready in 45 minutes total. Pair it with a refreshing drink from our site, like our Best Mojito Recipe, to complete the meal.

Notes

πŸ₯© Partially freeze the beef before slicing to achieve those thin, tender strips that make the perfect cheesesteak texture.
🌢️ Cook the peppers and onions slowly on medium-low heat to tenderize them without browning for the best flavor balance.
πŸ§€ Cover the pan while melting the provolone to ensure it blends smoothly into a gooey, creamy sauce.
