Sure, here is a recipe for Philly Cheesesteak:
Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Hoagie rolls | 2-4, depending on size |
Thinly sliced rib-eye or ribeye steak | 12-16 oz |
Provolone, white American, or Cheez Whiz cheese | 4-8 slices |
Yellow or white onion, thinly sliced | 1 medium |
Green or red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional) | 1/2 medium |
Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
Salt & black pepper | to taste |
Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder (optional) | 1/2 teaspoon each |
Cooking Guide
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Slice the onion and bell pepper (if using).
- Lightly butter the inside of the hoagie rolls. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Heat olive oil in the skillet. Add the steak and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and bell pepper (if using) to the pan and cook until softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the steak to the pan with the onions and peppers (if using). Add cheese slices and cook for another minute or two, until cheese is melted and gooey.
- Toast the hoagie rolls in a pan or under the broiler until lightly golden brown.
- Divide the cheesesteak mixture between the toasted rolls.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- Use a good quality, thinly sliced steak for best results. Freeze the steak for 30 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut thin.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak. Cook it in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- Choose your favorite cheese! Provolone and white American are classic choices, but Cheez Whiz adds a creamy, nostalgic touch.
- Onions are a traditional topping, but bell peppers and mushrooms are also popular additions.
- Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or onion powder to the steak for extra flavor.
- Serve your cheesesteak with your favorite sides, like french fries, onion rings, or a pickle spear.
