    How to Make the Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

    Gather 1-2 pounds of thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak, ½ sliced onion, 8 slices of provolone cheese, garlic, hoagie buns and then you’re ready to get started! Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the steak. Cook the steak until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the onions while stirring. Once the onions are softened and lightly browned, add in the garlic and a little salt and pepper if you'd like. Turn off the heat and top with cheese slices before serving on a toasted hoagie roll. Enjoy!

    Assemble and Melt the Cheese

    To finish off the Philly cheesesteak, place the toasted hoagie rolls on a baking sheet. Top each one with the steak and vegetable mixture and top with slices of provolone cheese. Place in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve these delicious sandwiches hot and enjoy!

    Optional Slow Cooker Version

    You can make this Philly cheesesteak recipe in the slow cooker too! Just add the ingredients to a slow cooker, add a splash of broth and cook on high for 4-5 hours or slow for 6-8 hours. Remove from the slow cooker and serve on toasted buns with melted provolone cheese.

    Can You Make This Recipe Gluten Free?

    Absolutely! Make sure you use gluten free hoagie buns.

    How to Make An Authentic Philly Cheesesteak

    • Meat: The meat definetely matters in this recipe! You will want to use ribeye steak. In a pinch you can also use sirloin.
    • Thinly slice the meat into thin strips.
    • The bun matters! If you're gluten free go with a gluten free hoagie bun. But if you're going for an authentic Philly cheesesteak, you will want steak rolls or amoroso rolls.
    • Cheese please: Provolone is the go to cheese for an authentic Philly sandwich, but you will also find recipes topping it with Cheese Whiz or American cheese.
    • What about the vegetables? You can add some green bell peppers or mushrooms too.

      I love that you used ribeye in this recipe. It's my favorite cut and so much more flavorful than many others. Not only was this recipe fast and easy, everyone loved it! I'll be making it again, without a doubt. Thanks for the recipe!
