Description

Experience the true flavors of Philadelphia with this Classic Philly Cheesesteak recipe. Juicy beef, melted provolone, and caramelized onions create a mouth-watering combination that's hard to resist.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• ¹⁄₂ lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 hoagie rolls, split (preferably Amoroso's)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

   Thinly slice the ribeye steak and onion. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   

2. Cook the Onions

   Add olive oil to the skillet. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside.
   

3. Cook the Steak

   In the same skillet, add the sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the steak is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Return the onions to the skillet and mix with the steak.

4. Assemble the Sandwich

   Divide the steak and onion mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls. Top each with 3 slices of provolone cheese. Place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve

   Serve the Philly Cheesesteak hot, optionally with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad.
