Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Recipe recipe
The Spruce Eats

Can't make it to The City of Brotherly Love? Make a classic cheesesteak at home with ribeye steak and provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz on a hoagie roll.

Ingredients

1/2 pound ribeye steak
2 Italian hoagies, sliced lengthwise
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 slices provolone cheese

Method

1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Divide the butter between the two rolls, spreading evenly over the cut sides.
3
Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Toast the rolls, buttered-side down, until golden. Set aside.
4
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onions . Sauté until soft and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
5
Season the steak all over with salt and pepper to taste, and the granulated garlic. Add the steak to the pan in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear, undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until cooked through, about 1 minute.
6
Return the onion to the pan. Break apart the meat slices with two offset spatulas and toss with the onions.
7
While still in the pan, separate the mixture into two servings. Shingle each serving with 2 slices of cheese. Add a teaspoon of water to the pan to help steam and melt the cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese has melted (if using a griddle, cover with a stainless-steel bowl).
8
Transfer each serving into the rolls. Serve immediately.
