Ingredients

1/2 lb steak, thinly sliced
1/4 onion, sliced
1/4 bell pepper, sliced
4 hoagie rolls
4 slices provolone cheese, sliced

Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2

Add a small amount of oil to the skillet.
3

Add 1/4 sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
4

Add 1/4 sliced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
6

Add 1/2 lb thinly sliced steak to the empty side of the skillet.
7

Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown.
8

For food safety, ensure the steak reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or cook longer for desired doneness.
9

Mix the steak with the sautéed vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste.
10

While the steak is cooking, lightly toast 4 hoagie rolls if desired.
11

Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
12

Top each sandwich with 4 slices sliced provolone cheese.
13

To melt the cheese, either place the sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or cover the skillet (with sandwiches) for a minute until cheese melts.
14

Serve immediately while hot.

Questions

Can I make Philly Cheesesteak dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 slices provolone cheese, sliced) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free lunch collection instead.

How long does Philly Cheesesteak keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Philly Cheesesteak?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
