What is Philly Cheesesteak?

The Philly Cheesesteak has its roots in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It consists of thinly sliced ​​steak, grilled onions and melted cheese served in a hoagie (bread roll). The type of cheese can range from mozzarella cheese to cheddar or provolone. Sliced ​​bell peppers can also be added to the mixture for extra flavor but are not necessary. Recipes like mine have regional and dietary variations Cheesesteak Stuffed Mushrooms or Keto Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers. Cheesesteaks are considered a fast-food dish perfect for game day.

Recipe ingredients

The fresher the vegetables, the better your skillet will turn out. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Avocado oil – Feel free to use olive or coconut oil.
• Baby bella mushrooms – Creminis are a great swap and so are button mushrooms.
• top sirloin – Make sure it is cut in the center.
• cloves of garlic – You can use garlic powder instead.
• bell pepper – Use any color bell pepper for this.
• sweet onion -White onion works too.
• Salt and pepper – I like kosher salt and freshly-cracked pepper.
• Cheese made in Parma – Freshly grated cheese is best. Avoid the kind in a green bottle.
• Mozzarella cheese – Buy it pre-sliced ​​or slice it yourself.

How to Make a Philly Cheesesteak Skillet

The key is to cook all vegetables until tender to avoid a raw after-taste. Scroll down to the recipe card below the post for more detailed instructions.

• Cook the mushrooms. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté for 3-6 minutes or until browned. Season them with salt and pepper. Remove them from heat and set aside.
• Sear the steak. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Arrange beef in a single layer. Cook it for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from heat and set aside with the mushrooms.

Tips and variation ideas

From batch cooking to chili stuffing, these tips will help you go above and beyond with this Philly Cheesesteak Skillet.

• Use frozen fajitas. If your local grocery store has frozen beef fajitas, go ahead and use them to cut down on prep time. Make sure they're completely thawed, though.
• Make protein swaps. Turkey and chicken make great swaps for the beef in this recipe.
• Use leftovers. Shred all the leftover melted cheese in your fridge for a unique cheese-blend and mozzarella replacement.
• Add more vegetables. Sauteed spinach, zucchini and sweet potatoes can make this dish extra hearty.
• Cook in batches. To get a nice sear on the steak, you need to avoid overcrowding the pan. If you don't have a pan big enough to cook in, do it in batches.
• Stuff some peppers. Cut off the tops of whole bell peppers. Remove the seeds. Stuff the peppers with the cheesesteak mixture. Shred more cheese on top. Bake them at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
• Make it spicy. Finely chop the jalapeños or serranos and stir into the mixture to add heat. You can use red chili flakes.
