What’s the best steak to use?
I find that ribeye or sirloin is best to use in these sandwiches. It’s flavorful, juicy and tender with a rich flavor. Use fairly thick steaks so that they are easy to cut into thin strips that cook quickly.
Can you make them ahead of time?
These are best served as soon as you’ve made them so that the cheese is nice and melted and the bread doesn’t get soggy. You can cook up the veggies and steak ahead of time and keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can then quickly reheat that mixture, melt the cheese on top and serve.
What do you serve them with?
Philly cheesesteaks are pretty filling on their own, but they are great paired with chips, pretzels, ad of course, a cold beer! For a more filling meal, try them with:
- Crispy Zucchini Fries
- Sweet Potato Fries
- Shoestring Fries
- Parmesan Potato Wedges
- Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries
Tips!
- Freeze the steak for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing it. Cold steaks will be much easier to slice than raw.
- Don’t rush cooking the veggies. They should be nice and soft and the caramelization will add a lot of flavor.
- Lightly toast the hoagie rolls before adding the filling. This will protect them from getting soggy quickly, and will give you a nice crunch.
These tasty Philly cheesesteaks are so easy to make at home, and the flavors are so so good! These will be a hit with the whole family, guaranteed!

Nutrition Information
Don’t pay attention to Eric, he is a food snob and a crybaby, and he’s wrong.
Other than the lack of mayo and maybe a splash of worchester this recipe is fine. Inspiring too, so I’m gonna hit the store today and gather all the ingredients. Also, I prefer toasted whole wheat buns.
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
This is nothing like a Philly cheesesteak! Don’t use the name” Philly” unless you are making a Philly cheesesteak! So wrong in so many ways.
I am sorry to hear you do not like the recipe name.
Could you please explain, what exactly is a Philly cheesesteak if this recipe isn’t?
