What is a Philly Cheesesteak?

This classic sandwich was born when Pat Olivieri, a hot dog stand owner in Philadelphia, decided he was sick of having hot dogs for his lunch. He grabbed some beef from a local butcher, threw it on his grill, and popped it in a hot dog bun. A cab driver drove by and caught a whiff of the sub and asked for one himself. And just like that, a local obsession came to be!

While this authentic sandwich has proved itself to be a street food favorite, it is also an excellent dish to make at home. When you prepare it yourself, you can experiment with different cheeses, veggies, bread, and cuts of beef until you create your dream Philly cheesesteak. The possibilities are endless and delicious!

How To Make Philly Cheesesteak

Making Philly cheesesteak only requires a few simple ingredients and one pan. Below, find a high-level overview of the recipe.

  • Prepare the filling. Chop and sautee your veggies. Remove from pan and set to the side. Sautee thinly-sliced beef in the same pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add sauteed veggies back into the pan. Stir to combine. Top with cheese and let it melt naturally from the heat of meat and veggies.
  • Stuff and serve. Stuff your untoasted or toasted hoagie roll with the meat mixture. Serve right away along with your favorite sides (suggestions below).

Choosing the Right Ingredients for the Philly Cheesesteak

Choosing the right ingredients for your Philly Cheesesteak makes all the difference.

  • The best cheese for Philly cheesesteak: Provolone cheese works best for a Philly cheesesteak due to its neutral flavor and melt. A strong runner-up would be sliced white American cheese slices (mild or sharp). In Philadelphia, you’ll even find some food trucks and restaurants swearing by Cheez Whiz.
  • The best cut of beef for Philly cheesesteak: Thinly sliced ribeye is the go-to meat choice for a classic Philly cheesesteak. The marbling of ribeye is ideal because it creates a tender, easy-to-bite sandwich.

Try my recipe for Perfect Cast Iron Ribeye and use the leftovers to make this yummy sandwich for dinner the next night!

  • Philly Cheesesteak Sauce – Mayo is the perfect sauce for a Philly cheesesteak. If you are wanting more of a punch, add horseradish to the mix or a touch of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Other Cheesesteak Toppings – Some cheesesteak shops only add caramelized onions. Some also add bell peppers or mushrooms. Use all three or just one. The choice is yours!

Tips for Making the Best Philly Cheesesteak

Below, find our top tips and tricks for making the best Philly cheesesteak.

  • Thinly slice your beef. Use a sharp knife to slice your beef thin. This will create a tender mixture and an easy-to-bite sandwich.
  • Don’t overcook the beef. Whatever you do, don’t overcook the ribeye! The best part about this sandwich is that it melts in your mouth and is easy to bite. The meat should be so thinly sliced that you can quickly saute it. Consider investing in a mandolin slicer to shave the meat.
  • Use a slow cooker for tougher beef. Don’t want to spend the big bucks on ribeye? Want cheesesteaks ready when you get home? Pop a chuck roast into the slow cooker with a cup of beef broth, a touch of Worcestershire, and some salt and pepper. Cook on low for about 6-8 hours. 45 minutes before serving add the veggies of your choice into the crockpot. Spoon the mixture onto your roll and top with cheese.
  • Substitute chicken for beef. If beef is out of the question, substitute it with chicken. A lot of cheesesteak shops offer this option in Philly because it is delicious in its own way. Make sure you slice the chicken thinly and against the grain to get a similar texture.

Have leftover steak in the freezer? Frozen steak is actually easier to slice thin. Let it defrost a quarter of the way, slice it thin, and throw it straight into your pan. Just keep in mind to drain any excess moisture released before adding your sauteed veggies into the mix.

      Natalya DrozhzhinMar 22, 2024

      Hey Zoe, It totally could work but I would recommend a low-and-slow cooking method, such as in a slow cooker to get the meat as tender as possible.

    Candy KaneMar 4, 2024

    I will confess my mistake so others won’t do what I did. I followed the recipe except I think my package of shaved rib eye had quite a bit more than the recipe called for. I used the whole package without making sure of the weight. Consequently, it was so dry it wouldn’t stick together enough to stay in the sandwich, even with the right amount of provolone. My fault. I will try again because the flavor was good and the recipe is easy.

    MollyRozeFeb 19, 2024

    I really REALLY wanted to love this. I got shaved steak from my grocer and omitted the mushrooms as I just don’t like them. Somehow it was just plain wrong. It was okay to eat but it wasn’t as wonderful as it seems here. I used 14oz of shaved steak, a large onion and one onion. I was halving the recipe. I used almost a whole 8oz pack of provolone and it just wasn’t good. I don’t know what I did wrong.

      Natalya DrozhzhinFeb 19, 2024

      Hey Molly,
      I’m curious what cut of beef you used as that could affect the flavor. Another thing that comes to mind is how well seasoned the meat was. Both of those can make a big difference!

    Trying this tonight since I had a flank steak I didn't know wtf to do with - the steak marinated for about 4 hours in Jack Daniel's Whiskey BBQ sauce (I was preparing for something else I scrapped since I didn't have all the ingredients) so I will update on how this is with that BBQ sauce if anyone wants a little kick (I'll be the guinea pig in case it sucks)

        NatalieJan 5, 2024

        Also, I had a bunch of sauce left in the pan after the filling and I loved it so much I was like - how can I use this? I sautéed some more mushrooms, and made a grilled cheese sandwich but I mixed the very last remnants with softened butter and put it on the top and bottom of the sandwich. It was a really delicious mushroom melt grilled cheese. Just in case anyone is serving this twice and runs of out of one for themselves (me, I did that.)

    MartyJun 4, 2023

    Pretty close to how I make them. I use a green and a red pepper. I went back and didn't see mayo another commentor mentioned but my husband loves mayo on the hoagie. I'm just a plain hoagie kind of gal. The cheese is enough for me. Simple solution... I put mayo on his hoagie and I don't put it on mine. Thanks for posting.. they were pretty intimidating when I first started trying to make them. Now my problem is I want to overstuff the hoagie but that's why God made forks. Yummy

    You lost me at Mayo. There is just no way. If you want sauce on the cheesesteak, it's a red sauce, something like a marinara.

      Bob SMay 7, 2023

      Right, Cate, much loved Dallessandro's serves pizza steaks with red sauce and provolone. Mayo may be served with mayo on "Philly cheesesteaks" in Boise, but not usually in Philly. Having said that, I'm the last person to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't put on what they eat. Natalya, mayo or not, your cheesesteak does look delicious.

      Hi Monica, It really depends on how thick you cut the meat and the done-ness you prefer. The only thing I would recommend is don't overcook the meat because it will be too tough. I hope this helps.

    HeatherNov 15, 2022

    Philly Cheesesteaks are a great way to use up a leftover beef roast. Slice it up nice and thin. I start sauteing the peppers first. About halfway through, I add the onions. Once those are nearing doneness, add the meat. Get the meat cooked, then the cheese. Mix it all up til the cheese is melted and everything is covered. Throw it on a roll and add some hot sauce. Perfect.

    I have made these for my family many times. My son has also. So simple and delicious. I think they are great as is but my son likes to add granulated garlic to the veggies and that’s good too. I used canned mushrooms and it was still good. Fresh is better. I’ve done them with sirloin tip, London broil, New York steaks and round steak. We always go heavy on the peppers cause we are pepper freaks I suppose. All work great!! Thanks for the great recipe.

    I love this recipe! I made it for large party of hockey fans. I bought pre- sliced ribe eye Iin the meat cooler at Publix as suggested by the butcher. Using my iron skillet on the grill, I sauted the mushrooms, onions and green.pepper individually in batches, transferring all to a large deep, heavy casserole pan. Then, I sauted the rib eye. When done all were mixed together. Keeping large pan on the grill, I covered the entire dish with sliced round provolone and closed the grill lid. A few minutes later it was done! Everyone loved it. I had slider buns and people made their own sliders. These were friends from PA and the said it tasted like from back home.
