Directions
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the rolls in half, leaving one side hinged so you can stuff the ingredients inside. You can toast the rolls in the oven for a few minutes if you prefer them warm and slightly crispy.
- Cook the Onions and Peppers: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and then the sliced onions and peppers. Sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set them aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of oil. Place the thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cook without stirring for a minute or two to develop a sear, then start breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. You can cook it longer if you prefer it more well-done.
- Assembly: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, pile the sautéed onions and peppers on top of the steak. Lay slices of cheese over the mixture, and cover the skillet to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can melt the cheese by placing the skillet under the broiler for a minute.
- Stuff the Rolls: Carefully transfer the cheesy beef, onions, and peppers mixture into the prepared rolls.
- Optional Toppings: Add any optional toppings you like, such as ketchup, hot peppers, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Serve: Serve your Philly Cheesesteaks hot, and enjoy!
Philly Cheesesteaks are customizable, so you can adjust the toppings and type of cheese to your liking. Whether you’re a traditionalist or like to experiment, you can make this iconic sandwich your own.
