Ingredients
- For the Cheesesteak:
- 1 lb ribeye steak thinly sliced (or sirloin/pre-shaved beef)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced (optional)
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
- 4 slices provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz/white American
- 4 hoagie rolls sliced and lightly toasted
- 1 tbsp butter for toasting rolls
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- If slicing the steak yourself, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes for easier slicing.
- Slice the onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper if using.
- Step 2: Toast the Hoagie Rolls
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Butter the inside of each hoagie roll and toast until golden brown. Set aside.
- Step 3: Cook the Steak
- Heat oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
- Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables (If using)
- Push the steak to one side of the skillet and add onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Melt the Cheese
- Spread the steak evenly in the pan and place cheese slices on top.
- Let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes, then mix everything together. (If using Cheez Whiz, heat it separately and drizzle over the steak later.)
- Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Spoon the cheesy steak mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Best Cheese Options: Provolone is classic, but Cheez Whiz or white American cheese are great alternatives.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for the best texture.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free hoagie rolls for a gluten-free version.
