Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (Print-Friendly Version)

Savory steak, melted cheese, and caramelized onions nestled in a warm, crusty hoagie for pure comfort.

# Ingredients:

→ Sandwich

01 - 4 hoagie rolls
02 - 1 1/2 pounds ribeye steak, thinly sliced (680g)
03 - 8 slices provolone cheese or 160g Cheez Whiz/American cheese

→ Vegetables and Seasoning

04 - 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
05 - 1 large green bell pepper, sliced thin (optional)
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (30ml)
07 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5ml, optional)
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
09 - 1/2 teaspoon pepper (1.6g)

# Steps:

01 - Freeze the ribeye steak for 45-60 minutes to ease thin slicing. Slice against the grain into 1/8-inch (0.3cm) thick pieces.
02 - Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil. When hot, sauté sliced onions and green bell pepper for 8-10 minutes until caramelized. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
03 - Heat the skillet to medium-high, add the remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil. Cook the sliced beef for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink. Pull apart thin slices for tender, shredded layers. Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet and combine.
04 - Season the meat and vegetable mixture with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, if desired. Divide the mixture into 4 oval portions in the pan.
05 - Lower the heat to medium-low. Top each portion with cheese slices. Let the cheese partially melt.
06 - Cut open the hoagie rolls. Place each roll over a cheese-topped portion of the mixture. Let the bread warm for 1-2 minutes, then use a large spatula to flip the sandwich. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Avoid toasting hoagie rolls as it makes them too crunchy.
02 - For keto adaptation, substitute bread with lettuce leaves.
03 - Ribeye is ideal due to marbling, but sirloin or round eye steak are budget-friendly alternatives.
