Preparation

Step 1

Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Push off to 1 side of the griddle.

Add the meat to the hot pan and cook, stirring and breaking up with the back of 2 metal spatulas, until almost no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Mix in the sauteed vegetables. Top with cheese slices and melt.

REVIEWS:

This is very easy to prepare. The caramelized onions and peppers gives your sandwich a great look besides a great flavor. The kids even liked the onions. "Cheese Whiz", boy I just don't think it would do justice to a good cut of meat, so I used the provolone cheese. One thing I did different was not to cut my rib eye into thin slices. The butcher had cut my rib eye into 1/4-1/2 inch thick steaks so that is how I left them and fried them that way topped with the onions and pepper. I spread some butter on the Kaiser rolls and brown them in a skillet. Thanks for a great recipe! I sure hope more people try this.

If you love Philly Cheese Steaks this recipe is a keeper. Tasted like the real thing. Hubby rated this 6 stars !!! The minor changes I made were to use Monterey Pepper Jack cheese and used Mayo on the Hoagie buns, no other condiments used. Yummy, quick dinner for a weekday or weekend, could add a green salad and some nice baked fries and serve this to company for a relaxing, comforting, meal. I would double this recipe to have enough leftovers for two people!! Thanx for sharing such a great little recipe & bringing the Philly Cheese Steaks to our kitchen.

Better than 5 stars! I tripled the recipe because I knew I would want more! I grew up north of Philadelphia (Doylestown) and lived there until I married/moved away at 21. For me, it's not really a recipe, but rather the technique of combining a few basic key ingredients. I think as long as you have (1) a really good hoagie-style roll and (2) steak/beef sliced extremely thin -- you have the basis for a good cheese steak. It's the add-ons for which everyone has their personal preferences. For me, I want green peppers, onions, and provolone so this recipe is "authentic" for me. Make sure the onions are nicely caramelized before you mix them in with the cooked beef. I used provolone cheese (personal favorite). To melt the cheese, I pushed two portions of the beef/onion/pepper mixture to one side on the griddle, topped them with cheese, put a little water on the griddle to create some steam, then covered with a pot lid for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmmm, perfection! This is a very messy recipe to make because there is so much splatter, but that's the charm of a Philly cheese steak.

These were great and so easy! I used the rare roast beef from the deli and they still were amazing! My husband was a big fan too.

Very good and easy to make. I used a pound of Steak Ums and a 16 ounce bag of pepper/onion stir fry mix. I used 1/2 tsp salt nad 1/2 tsp pepper. We used provolone cheese and hubby used hot pepper cheese and we all enjoyed these.

Oh, my goodness! I just got done making and eating these and they were SOOOOOO good. I used the steak um type things for the meat (used 1 10.5 oz box) along with 1 red pepper and some onion. I melted some Monterey Jack cheese on at the end. I made 3 of them (2 for fiance and 1 for me) and I enjoyed them so much that I can't wait to have them again. Yummy!!!!

I have made this a couple of times now and it is just awesome. We had a Korean foreign exchange student last year that turned us on to Bulgogi. I got some Bulgogi meat which is thinly sliced ribeye from the Asian market the other day and used some for this recipe. Thanks for the great recipe.
just loved these.

These were sensational! We've only had real Philly cheesesteaks once many years ago, but we asy to make, with great results. I added a handful of sliced mushrooms to the vegies. Cooked everything in my wok, the vegies first & removed, then the steak in small batches for a few seconds on each side. This will be a regular weekend lunch for us. Thanks for sharing this winner, especially for those of us so far from Philly!

I wanted a good cheesesteak recipe and I think I found it! I'm a mushroom lover so I added those, along with the onions and peppers. Everything was prepared according to the recipes, except, when the cheese (provolone's the best!) was placed on top of the mixture, I put the bread (open) on top until the cheese melted. Then, all you have to do is take your spatula, slide it under, lift, and fold... DELICIOUS!!!

These were really easy to make! I was recently introduced to these wonderful sandwiches and it was great to find a recipe that tastes just like the original one I had!!! The only change I made was using smoked swiss for the cheese. DELICIOUS!

We made these tonight for supper. I used swiss cheese and added mushrooms to the veggies. Very good. I also set the bread on top of the meat to steam them a bit before serving with meat and cheese inside. Thank you so much for sharing this, it is sooooo good.
