 Philly Cheesesteak Recipe with Peppers and Onions 🥩🧀

This version adds the sweet, vibrant crunch of bell peppers, giving it a colorful twist while staying true to the Philly cheesesteak roots.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or sirloin for a leaner option)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter 🧈

  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced 🌶️

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 🧅

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste 🧂

  • 6 slices provolone cheese (or white American or mozzarella) 🧀

  • 24 hoagie rolls, split and lightly toasted 🥖

Optional: mayo, hot sauce, or melted cheese sauce for extra indulgence

Instructions

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prep the steak: Freeze the beef for about 30 minutes for easier slicing. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice against the grain.

  2. Sauté the veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add peppers and onions and cook until soft and slightly caramelized (about 6–8 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  3. Cook the beef: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced beef. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through (about 3–4 minutes).

  4. Combine: Add the sautéed peppers and onions back to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine.

  5. Melt the cheese: Lay the cheese slices over the mixture. Cover with a lid for 1–2 minutes until melted. Stir gently or leave gooey.

  6. Build your sandwich: Scoop the hot mixture into your toasted hoagie rolls. Serve immediately.
