Timesaving Tips for best results

  • Toast the rolls - toasted hoagie rolls take this sandwich up a notch. Just place the hoagie buns in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them with some butter for a few minutes. So good!
  • Use a sharp knife - thinly sliced meat is essential for the best sandwich.
  • Don't forget the cheese - Cheese Whiz or provolone are traditional favorites. You could also try white American cheese.
  • Add your favorite toppings - Try adding sautéed mushrooms, hot peppers, or sweet peppers. You can also add hot pepper sauce for an added kick.
  • Serve it hot - this sandwich tastes best when served fresh off the skillet.
  • Marinate the steak - before cooking, try marinating your steak in some Worcestershire sauce and spices for maximum flavor.

Recipe FAQs

What is the best cheese to use for Philly cheesesteaks?

While the original eateries will us a pasteurized cheese spread, I prefer Provolone or Mozzarella cheese.

Can I use a cheese sauce for the cheesesteak?

Yes, I prefer just using Provalone, but you can warm up some Cheez Whiz, and drizzle it on the top of the sandwiches if you like.

What cut of beef is used for a Philly Cheesesteak?

Rib eye, or beef sirloin or tip steak work best.

How can I slice the meat so thin for a Philly Cheesesteak?

The best way is to ask your grocery store butcher to cut it thin for you.

What should I serve with Philly Cheesesteaks?

Serve your Philadelphia cheesesteak with some yummy sides like french fries, potato chips, or even some mozzarella cheese sticks. I like to throw a couple of banana peppers on the plate.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little.

I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
