Homemade Philly Cheesesteaks

Recipe Description

Is there a recipe that is more synonymous with a city than these Homemade Philly Cheesesteaks? These iconic sandwiches were invented in Philadelphia and are made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese with onions and peppers in a long hoagie roll. 

To make this delicious recipe, start by cooking peppers and onion until caramelized and season with salt. Remove the cooked onions and peppers from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon oil and cook the steak until it has almost reached your preferred doneness. Season and return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and toss to combine with steak. Place provolone cheese over the top of the mixture and cook until the cheese melts. Divide mixture among hoagie rolls to serve.

To make my version of Homemade Philly Cheesesteaks, you will need the following ingredients:

Hice estos Philly cheesesteaks y fueron un exito total en casa. La carne estaba jugosa y el sabor de los pimientos y cebollas es lo mejor. A mis hijos les encanto, especialmente cuando les dije que era un sandwich especial de Filadelfia. Definitivamente lo haré de nuevo.
