Learn how to make a classic Philly cheesesteak at home with thinly sliced steak, onions, and melted cheese on a soft hoagie roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 4 slices provolone cheese or 4 ounces Cheez Whiz
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove onions from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked onions to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine.
  5. If using provolone cheese, place slices over the steak and onion mixture and cook until melted. If using Cheez Whiz, spread it over the steak and onion mixture and stir until melted and combined.
  6. Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through.
  7. Divide the steak and cheese mixture evenly among the prepared rolls.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, partially freeze the ribeye steak for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Use good quality, fresh hoagie rolls for the best texture.
  • You can add thinly sliced green bell peppers along with the onions if desired.
