What is a Philly Cheesesteak?

Philly Cheesesteak is a sandwich made with super thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onion, and provolone cheese. That simple combination is the original classic as made popular on the East Coast. The Philly Cheesesteak has been modified on the West Coast to include bell peppers and mushrooms but a true “Philly” only has steak, onion and cheese served over a roll.

Which Cut of Beef Should I Use?

Ribeye is the steak of choice for Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. It is well-marbled and tender when cooked. Another cut that we have used with great results is flank steak which is lean but very tender when cut against the grain. You will need a little extra oil on your cooking surface if using flank steak.

The Best Cheese for Philly Cheesesteak:

The most popular cheese is mild provolone. We have tested a variety of provolone brands and the only one we didn’t enjoy was “aged” provolone from Costco. The flavor of aged provolone cheese was overpowering. Another popular option is white American cheese. Some restaurants in Philadelphia add a Velveeta-like cheese but we like provolone best.

Pro-Tips for Thinly Slicing Beef:

The key to a great cheesesteak is super thinly sliced pieces of beef. For easier slicing, cover and freeze your steak for 30-40 minutes (freeze a thicker steak for 40 minutes and a thinner steak for 30 minutes). Cut away any excess fat and silver skin (if present) then use a sharp knife to thinly slice against the grain. Watch Natasha demonstrate this in the video tutorial below.

Time Saving Tip: Ask your butcher to super thinly slice your beef. If you pre-plan this, they could place the steak in the freezer while you do your shopping to achieve those paper-thin slices.

Philly cheesesteak served on hoagie roll with fries and ketchup
Philly Cheesesteak with tender ribeye steak, melted gooey provolone, and caramelized onions hugged by a toasted garlic butter hoagie roll.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 13 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 4 people
  • 1 lb Ribeye steak, trimmed and thinly sliced*
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 sweet onion, (large), diced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, mild (not aged provolone)
  • 4 Hoagie Rolls, sliced 3/4 through
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise, or to taste

Instructions

  • Slice hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife. Dice onions and thinly slice beef.*
  • In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp softened butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Spread garlic butter onto the cut sides of 4 hoagie roll. Toast the buns on a large skillet, flat cooktop or griddle on medium heat until golden brown then set aside.
  • Add 1 Tbsp oil to your pan/cooktop and sautee diced onions until caramelized then transfer to a bowl.
  • Increase to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Spread the super thinly sliced steak in an even layer. Let brown for a couple of minutes undisturbed then flip and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sautee until steak is fully cooked through then stir in the caramelized onions.
  • Divide into 4 even portions and top each with 2 slices of cheese and turn off the heat so the cheese will melt without overcooking the meat.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo on the toasted side of each roll. Working with one portion at a time, place a toasted bun over each portion and use a spatula to scrape the cheesy beef into your bun as you flip it over. Serve warm.

Notes

*For easier slicing, cover and freeze your steak for 30-40 minutes (freeze a thicker steak 40 min and a thinner steak 30 min).

    Natasha,

    Pretty decent recipe except for one thing. A true Philly Cheesesteak does NOT have nasty mayonnaise (the white death) on it. I personally do not like to be in the same zipcode as a jar of mayo.

    Wow! Just finished eating our philly cheese steak and it was delish! The butter garlic in the rolls was a great add! For seasoning we used SPG- Salt Pepper Garlic by KosmosQ. The only thing i will do next time is just very little oil on onion and no oil when cooking steak. This was amazing!!! Thank you Natasha ❤️

    To be a truly authentic Philly Cheesesteak, you must put a thin layer of Cheez Whiz on the bread. Otherwise, your recipe is excellent!

      You are incorrect. I lived in Philly for 10 yrs and the Cheez Whiz is only in Center City for the tourists who don’t know any better. Restaurants, diners and native Philly residents use Provolone in all Cheesesteaks.

        Philly born n’ raised. Natives, like myself, ask for whatever cheese they prefer; wiz, american or prov. There are diehards in every camp. We don’t shame anyone for their choice of cheese but put peppers and mushrooms on there…and we look at cha all funny-like. Ha!
        Also, here…we simply call them cheesesteaks.

    Even though I’m not from Philly I love cheesesteaks. Haven’t had a good one in a very long time. Over the last few years I’ve made them at home with okay results. I tried your recipe last night and the result was really good, much better than anything I made before. I’m still thinking about it because it was that good. My stomach was so happy I didn’t eat anything else after that. Still haven’t. I live in a small town so my market is hit or miss. No ribeye steaks or hoagie rolls. You mentioned flank steak, they didn’t have that either but they had flap steak. Flap steak is lean, flavorful and inexpensive. It worked great following your instructions for freezing and slicing to shorten the fibers. It was really tender and easy to chew. I cooked this recipe in a 100+ year old cast iron pan because I don’t have a flat top or a griddle. I have a glass cooktop. No issues there. I got some standard (not sourdough or dutch crunch) sandwich rolls, which were perfectly soft after toasting the inside and complimented the filling. I think the garlic butter is a nice addition that adds good flavor. I do like mushrooms and onions in my cheesesteaks so I added mushrooms too. I was really pleased with the result. I can have cheesesteaks at home and LOVE them! Husband loved them too! I will make them again. It’s a bonus that this recipe is also quick and easy. BTW – I do enjoy your videos. Informative and entertaining.

    OMG! So few cheesesteak restaurants in California. Most I know of have closed. I liked The Philly Cheesesteak Shop, they brought in meat, cheese and bread from Philadelphia and made a good cheesesteak. I’ve missed a good cheesesteak. I’ve tried on my own and was not successful until tonight, thanks to you. I couldn’t find a ribeye in my small town so I used flap meat because you suggested flank steak. No flank steak either. Tender and tasty because of your slicing method. I was so happy and satisfied by the result that I don’t have to eat again. My husband liked them too. Good job you.

    I’m not from Philly so I don’t give a rat’s patootie how authentic a cheese steak sandwich is! I want flavor…of which those “authentic” versions have little, so my version uses shaved steak (from my Kroger), Baby Swiss, toasted hoagies, and the best sauce ever!!! I saute onions and mushrooms in butter and when they are beautifully carmelized, I de-glaze with some red wine (cook down till almost gone), add in beef stock and simmer that down till the sauce is thickened, then stir in a pat of butter just because! The sauce goes on just as the meat is done, top with the Baby Swiss, pop on the bun top, then slide the whole thing onto the bun bottom…heavenly!

    Aloha! I love looking at you So simple style recipes. However, do you you have recipes that contain less sodium and less suger in them? And yet still have the taste.

      Hi Bill, we don’t have a specific low sodium category.

      Bill, I used to be on a 500-1000mg/day sodium restriction. It is super hard and you have to make everything from scratch. Replacements for sodium can be an acid because your taste buds often interpret it as salt. And adding extra seasoning. I used to make this only using the salt in the bacon. Was still good.
      Good luck my friend

    I use to make the original Philly cheesesteak subs in my restaurant.
    Using onions, peppers, and mushrooms, cooked separately in butter/garlic sauce first.
    Have a pot of almost like spaghetti sauce, heating up.
    Spread the roll and add the veggies.
    Then add the steak and I use mozzarella cheese and add that while cooking the steak.
    Then place the steak and one side of the roll and the veggies on the other side. Then add the sauce with more cheese on top and let it melt in. Then Serve it.

    This is another easy recipe that nails the Philly perfectly. I snuck in a small amount of mushrooms in and they, again, didn’t notice or complain.

    This is my new go-to recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

    I’ve been doing a version of this each year while tailgating. I prefer white American cheese. Call the butcher up a few days before Saturday for the ribeye, cheese and bread. My friends like peppers and onions. I’ve never tried garlic and mayo. Might have to give that a shot next time.

      A real Philly Cheese steak is either “wit” or “witout” cheese wiz. I’ve been to Pat’s -“wit” and Geno’s “witout” and – like most of Philly – I couldn’t decide which was best. Also, they are made all over town with provolone or mozzarella.

        I also prefer to have Philly CHEESSTEAK made by pros!
        Luckily in Philly any pizza place made it gooood! I am cooking everything from scratch BUT CHEESSTEAK! Because it’s just impossible to make right at home.
        Unless of course you are not in Philly and want it so much. Definitely don’t try it in FL! 🤦‍♀️😂

        Wit or without means wit or without onions. A traditional cheesesteak is a non- toasted roll without Mayo. It can have American or Cheese wiz. I like American. Nice job on the fried onions and ribeye. I liked that you froze it and sliced it yourself to attain freshness. Nice.

        The roll will never have butter or garlic. The fried onions are the flavor. You can have pickles or picked hit peppers on the side. I was born and raised in Northeast Philly 18 years.

    You have done a very good job with the recipe. However, absolutely no one from Philly puts Provolone cheese on cheesesteaks. That is used on hoagies. You are correct about people adding mushrooms and peppers- that is not a true Philly cheesesteak! It is typically meat, American or Cheese Wiz and with or without fried onions. Your recipe does sound delish, though!

    Really authentic and simple recipe for one of my favorite sandwiches. My favorite place in Philly uses a cheese sauce, but I like the provolone melted as you describe better. To get the meat super thin I partially froze and then sliced it with my mandolin on very thin setting. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    I made this for my son’s ‘breakfast’ two days ago when he came in from a night shift and he totally devoured it.
    The only change he suggested was to add more garlic (he goes overboard on it, nothing to do with your recipe) and I’m making it again this morning. Praise indeed!

    Nice recipe! I prefer to add Green Pepper, sautéed with the onion and sprinkled with McCormick Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning, and using leftover steak also cooked with a bit of liquid (usually Johnnys French Dip Au Jus) with liberal sprinklings of the Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning cooking the steak until it falls apart in your mouth! We like our Cheesesteaks more western style than Philly style! We use a combo of Monterrey Jack and Pepper Jack. Very spicy and delicious!

      Hi Priscilla, it really depends on the bread and how deep it is cut to begin with. Also, don’t over toast the bread or it can firm up and split when it’s folded. I hope that helps and I’m so glad you love our cheesesteak recipe!

      Hi Natasha, 5th recipe I followed. 1st one was Mango Cake, 2nd Berries Tiramisu, 3rd Tres De leches, 4th Russian Tiramisu, and 6th was Apple Pie. Everything turned out excellente yummilicious. But this Phillysteak was the easiest, my 13th yr old son is a philly-lover-eater (Charley’s bought). He compared this to Charley’s this one is the winner. I am telling you all your recipe I followed always easy peasy and yummy. I am just fanatic of your video. It is like a theraphy to me, each night ever since the mid of quarantine I browse what is the next recipe I follow or just watch your video till I want to go to sleep.. I am great in asian cuisine just on baking a cake not my line.However, I will give u a full credit. I learned how to bake genoise cake couple months ago from YOU. I imagined myself I couldnt even bake an instant cake box😅🤣. Now, every week I bake a cake for my family. My kids most requested are Russian tiramisu and tres de leches cake. Tomorrow I will be making another set of philly by request😂. this time I will include some veggies just for me to feel better knowing I am feeding them veggies😅. Thank you. I spread your website to my friends and family. 🥰🥰🥰🥰Love love love😍

I made this sandwich after watching you do it. I used boneless ribeye steak, white cheddar cheese, onions and ketchup. I buttered the hoagie and slightly toasted it (no garlic because my kids are picky). I don’t eat meat but everyone absolutely LOVED this sandwich. You make cooking look fun and your recipes are simple. I can’t thank you enough. I’m really a fan now.
