An authentic Philly cheesesteak featuring thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions and peppers, and gooey cheese Whiz, perfect for a quick and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cheese Whiz
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Freeze ribeye steak for about 30 minutes to firm up, then slice into very thin strips about 1/8-inch thick.
  2. Thinly slice the onion and green bell pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Push veggies to the side of the skillet, add remaining oil or butter, increase heat to medium-high, and add steak in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Let steak sear without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir and cook until just cooked through and juicy, about 2-4 more minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce if using.
  6. Warm cheese Whiz gently in a small saucepan over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave until smooth and pourable.
  7. Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through and lightly toast in a dry skillet or under the broiler until golden and slightly crispy.
  8. Divide steak and veggie mixture evenly among rolls, drizzle generously with warm cheese Whiz, close sandwiches, and press gently.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

Freeze the steak slightly before slicing for easier thin cuts. Cook steak in batches if pan is crowded to avoid steaming. Warm cheese Whiz gently to prevent separation. Toast rolls lightly to avoid sogginess. Reheat leftovers gently in skillet or oven, avoid microwave.
