I remember running across a quick and easy recipe for philly cheese steaks a long time ago. I'm not sure where I found it. I have no idea what told me to make it, but it happened.
What is a Philly Cheesesteak?
A Philly Cheese Steak is a sandwich that originates in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (hence the name). Typically made with thinly sliced beefsteak and melted provolone cheese.
It's usually accompanied with peppers, mushrooms, and onions.
We skip the hoagie roll in place of the simple hot dog bun.
Totally not traditional, but it works.
What kind of meat do I need for Philly Cheese Steaks?
Rib eye and top round are the traditional cuts of meat.
Just about any thin sliced steak will work. You can have the butcher slice it for you. Or ask them what they recommend.
Do I have to use provolone cheese?
No way. If you don't like it, feel free to make the sauce with mozzarella, swiss or American.
What do you need?
- hot dog buns (or hoagie rolls)
- ribeye steak, cut into thin strips
- bell peppers - sliced
- onion - sliced into thin strips (I like using my mandoline)
- salt-pepper
- butter
- flour
- milk
- provolone cheese
- parmesan cheese
Serve with your favorite potato chips and my kids favorite, a pickle!
Other great ways to use your meat and cheese
Sliders - stuffed into portobello mushrooms - over pasta

I often forget how easy cheese steaks are to make. A perfect weeknight meal for the family.

Love this recipe! You forgot to put in the directions when and how to add the milk to the cheese sauce.

Looks amazing xx What Provolone is best? Dolce or piccante?

if you are willing to pony up, get some ribeye. either have your butcher slice it super thin, or take it home, half freeze it and slice it yourself. Get a nice marbled piece; makes all the difference. (And of course, the cheese wiz if you wanna be authentic :P)
