  • Rib Eye
  • Onion
  • Mushroom
  • Provolone Cheese

How to Make A Real Philly Cheesesteak

  1. Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain. If your butcher didn't do this already, ask them to!
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the ribeye steak to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  5. Cook the steak, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked to your liking (about 3-5 minutes per batch).
  6. Place the cooked steak and onions onto the bottom half of each hoagie roll.
  7. Top generously with Cheez Whiz (or provolone).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Philly cheesesteak!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
