Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Vegetables

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cheese and Bread

  • 68 slices provolone cheese
  • Hoagie rolls, for serving
  • Optional: mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once sizzling, add the baby bella mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  2. Caramelize Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are slightly caramelized and soft, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Cook Peppers: Add the sliced green bell peppers to the skillet with the onions and cook until the peppers soften, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the onions and peppers to the plate with the mushrooms.
  4. Cook Steak and Combine: Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak into the same skillet and cook until browned throughout, approximately 5-6 minutes. Season the steak with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder. Return the sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers back into the skillet and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Using a spatula, create sections in the skillet for each serving of the steak and veggie mixture. Place provolone cheese slices directly over each portion. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the residual warmth to gently melt the cheese.
  6. Prepare Sandwiches: Lightly toast the hoagie rolls. If desired, spread mayonnaise on the rolls. Add extra provolone cheese slices onto the rolls, then fill each one generously with the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture.
  7. Rest and Serve: Roll each sandwich tightly in foil and allow them to sit for at least 5 minutes to meld flavors and finish melting cheese. Serve warm and enjoy your easy Philly cheesesteak!

Notes

  • For best results, use thinly sliced ribeye steak for tenderness and authentic flavor.
  • You can substitute baby bella mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more garlic powder or black pepper if desired.
  • Wrapping the sandwiches in foil and resting them allows the cheese to fully melt and flavors to meld.
  • Optional mayonnaise adds creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter option.
  • Serve with pickles or a side salad for a complete meal.
