Easy Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with Peppers & Onions
This classic Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is loaded with thinly sliced sirloin, sweet sautéed onions and peppers, melted provolone cheese, and served on toasted hoagie rolls for a hearty, restaurant-quality meal at home.
Equipment
- large skillet
- sharp knife for slicing beef thinly
- cutting board
- spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 2.5–3 lbs petite sirloin, thinly sliced
- 0.5 tsp garlic pepper
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1–2 tbsp vegetable oil (for beef)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1–2 tbsp vegetable oil (for veggies)
- 8 hoagie rolls
- 8–10 slices provolone cheese
- butter, for toasting rolls
Instructions
- Place the sirloin in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm it up, then slice thinly against the grain. Season with garlic pepper and seasoned salt.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers until tender and lightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in batches until browned but juicy, about 2–3 minutes per batch.
- Return veggies to the skillet with the beef. Top with provolone slices, cover, and let melt for 1–2 minutes.
- Butter and toast hoagie rolls until golden. Fill with the cheesesteak mixture and serve immediately.
Notes
Freeze the beef briefly for easier slicing. Cook beef in small batches to ensure proper searing. Provolone is classic, but American cheese or Cheese Whiz can be used for a creamier texture.
