  • Best Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipe

This has been a year for comfort food for me! Even in the heat of summer, I enjoy the warm, tasty, rich, and savory sandwich, with juices dripping down my chin, stringy cheese bite after bite. My kind of meal!

I made these tonight for my family of 5. I’ve never made cheesesteaks at home before. They were an absolute HIT! I was a bit worried about the amount of Worcestershire sauce, but once it mixed with the meat, veggies and the juices, it was quite delicious! This will definitely become a regular in our rotation of meals!!

This is the BEST Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

According to Philadelphians, you simply cannot make an authentic Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich without an authentic Philadelphia roll. The rolls must be long and thin, not fluffy or soft, but not too hard. They also say, anything more than an hour from South Philly is not an authentic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Source

So, no, this recipe is not authentic, which is I’m calling it simply, the BEST shaved steak sandwich, or the “stop worrying about what it’s called and just make it steak sandwich”!

I’ve been making this homemade Philly cheesesteak recipe on repeat for years, the original recipe is from my dear, creative friend, Norine from Norine’s Nest, she is a fabulous cook, and she’s sooo funny!

This shaved beef sandwich is a huge hit in our house, when my family spies shaved beef thawing they KNOW that goodness is happening for dinner!

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich Ingredients

  • Beef | Shaved beef, shaved steak or thinly sliced cube, round steak, even flank steak or skirt steak will work. Most grocery stores now carry this cut of beef, try and get the shaved ribeye, it’s the best!
  • Butter | Don’t knock it, it adds a ton of flavor!
  • Caramelized onions | Wit or Wit Out? You need these drool worthy onions in your best cheesesteak recipe
  • Seasoning salt | Adds complex flavor, easily!
  • Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins is Gluten free)
  • Hot sauce | Optional, serve with a side of hot sauce!
  • Cheese | Use your family favorite, Provolone (our favorite), White American cheese, Cheddar or traditional Cheez Whiz.
  • Toasted sub rolls | You want to toast your rolls!

Best Cheese for Philly Cheesesteak

White American cheese; tourists ask for Cheez Whiz, but provolone and Pepper Jack is also a welcome substitution.

Best Meat for Philly Cheesesteak

Shaved ribeye steak; this is a must, you can ask your butcher for this cut, but it’s readily available now at stores like Kroger, Trader Joe’s and Target.

Norine uses cube steak, the first time I made this, I wasn’t able to find cube steak; so I used round steak and sliced it as thin as possible. However; I’ve since discovered shaved beef from Trader Joe’s! It’s paper thin, tender and delicious.

Best Seasoning for Philly Cheesesteak

The secret to a killer Philly Cheesesteak is all about the seasoning!

  • Butter: Don’t knock cooking this tender beef in butter and Olive oil!
  • Worcestershire sauce: Adds a rich flavor and great umami (Japanese for “pleasant savory taste”).
  • Seasoning salt: I like organic seasoning salt personally, but Lawry’s may be used. Full of paprika, garlic and onion powder, adds a punch of flavor.

Trust me, once you try this combo, you’ll see why it’s a game-changer. Give it a go and watch your family rave about dinner!

Fresh Tips

  • If using cube or round steak, roll and wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes, then using a sharp knife, slice very thin, trying to “chip” away at the steak.

How to make a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

Step 1 | Caramelize the onions

Slice the onion in half, then slice into thin half rings. Heat a large pan over medium heat (this is my favorite pan!), add in the butter and melt until sizzling and bubbly.
Toss in the onions and saute until soft and caramel in color, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 2 | How to cook Shaved Steak

Meanwhile, toss the shaved steak with seasoning salt. Once the onions are done sautéing, remove them from the pan to a plate and increase the heat to medium-high, adding another pat or two of butter.

Add the shaved beef in a single layer, doing in batches in needed. Toss with tongs, turning after a minute or two, the meat will cook and brown quickly.

Fresh Tips

  • Shaved steak is so thin that it cooks lickity spit! Be careful not to overcook it, in fact, I usually remove it from heat once I see a little pink left.
  • Do in batches.it If the pan is too crowded, it will steam rather than sear the steak.

Step 3 | Add onions to pan and cheese

Once the meat is browned, return the cooked onions to pan, stir in Worcestershire sauce, and if desired, hot sauce.

Layer slices of cheese over meat, cover with lid to melt.

Step 4 | Grill the Hoagie rolls & serve

Spread some soft butter (try garlic butter too) onto cut hoagie rolls (or French rolls or your favorite rolls) and over medium heat, grill the rolls until golden. If desired (and by desire, I mean, you should do this part, come on, this is not diet food!)

Serve on top of browned sub or hoagie rolls, I’ve also used whole wheat to make myself think it was a bit healthier. Can’t blame a girl for trying!

Toasting the hoagie rolls in pan with butter.

Make Philly Cheesesteaks in advance

YES! This is a great meal to serve for a game day, tailgating or for a party.

Make ahead as directed above; place in slow cooker and keep on the warm setting or covered in an oven set to 150-200° F (95° C). Serve with toasted sub or hoagie or slider rolls on the side.

Best Philly Cheesesteak Recipe Variations

  • Add sliced red, green, yellow or orange peppers when caramelizing onions, sauteeing until soft and slightly browned.
  • Saute sliced mushrooms until warm and soft.
  • Norine’s fave is to serve with Lighthouse Cotija Cilantro dressing.
  • Serve with a drizzle of Ranch dressing
  • Smear some Garlic Aioli or garlic butter onto the buns.
  • Add extra cheese, if you love it super cheesy, add more cheese!

What to serve with a shaved steak sandwich?

  • French fries are a great choice, try my Air Fryer Steak Fries (so yummy!!)
  • Add some veggies and make this steakhouse wedge salad or serve with this crudite dip and veggies.

Storing leftover Philly Cheesesteaks

Place any leftover Philly cheesesteak in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. May also be frozen for up to 3 months.

How to reheat Shaved steak sandwiches

Gently reheat the components in a skillet over medium heat. It will reheat quickly, do not overcook the beef to maintain its tenderness. Add a little extra cheese if desired and re-grill a roll.

Shaved Steak Sandwich Recipe FAQs

What’s the best bread for Philly cheesesteak sandwiches?

The classic choice is a soft Italian roll or baguette. Amoroso’s rolls are popular in Philadelphia for authentic Philly Cheesesteaks.

Can I use a different cheese?

While the classic choice is Cheez Whiz, provolone, pepper jack, and American cheese are also commonly used. Feel free to choose your favorite.

What are some optional toppings?

Some people like to add mushrooms, hot peppers, or pickles for extra flavor. Experiment with different toppings to suit your taste. Be sure to try my New England Steak Bombs too!

What’s the difference between a Philly Cheesesteak and a Cheesesteak?

Great question, I’m a Colorado girl via the West Coast and while I’ve visited Philly, I have not eaten many of Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches. Here’s what I found!
Several Philadelphians have corrected me that all self-respecting Philly residents order their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches with Cheez Whiz. They say, “wiz wit” that’s Philadelphian for wiz and fried onions on the sandwich, and that’s how we order them. 
Philly Cheesesteak | A long, crusty Italian roll cradles thinly sliced, sautéed ribeye steak, dripping with meat juices and messy, melted cheese. It’s heavy. It’s simple. And ooooh, boy, is it savory. Authentic Philly Cheesesteaks cheese of choice is Cheez Whiz, but American and Provolone are common substitutions. (Source)
Cheesesteak | So by definition, anything that changes things up, whether it’s cheese, additions, seasonings, makes it a plain (but still savory and delicious) Steak Sandwich Recipe.

What’s the Difference between a Hoagie and a Sub Sandwich?

The difference in this instance is a Hoagie uses a harder, firmer roll, not slicing it all the way through, instead stuffing it with meat, cheese, etc. Whereas a sub sandwich is typically a soft roll, cut all the way through.
Then you have grinders, poor boy’s and hero’s! Being born and raised on the west coast, these were all foreign names to me when I was first introduced to them while visiting the East coast and the south for the first time.
What I do know? They are all delicious, all a sandwich of some for or another, so why let semantics get in the way of enjoying a scrumptious meal!

Best sides to serve with Philly cheesesteak sandwiches

Simple steak fries are amazing, but if you want to go healthier, serve with a hearty Italian chopped salad, don’t forget the zesty homemade Italian dressing or maybe just a crudite or try this easy, flavorful pimento cheese chicken salad chick.

Notes

BEST CUT OF BEEF | I buy shaved fresh beef steak from Trader Joe’s, it’s sliced paper thin and is perfect for this recipe. Most major grocery stores now carry shaved steak, if you cannot find it, ask your butcher. You may also use cube, round, or sirloin steak, roll and wrap in plastic wrap, freezing for 20-30 minutes, then using a sharp knife, slice the steak super thin or in chips.
MAKE AHEAD OPTION | This is a great meal for a game day, tailgating or a party. Make ahead as directed above; place in slow cooker and keep on the warm setting or covered in an oven set to 150-20° F. Serve with toasted sub or hoagie or slider rolls.
This recipe was adapted from Norine’s Nest Pepper Jack Steak Sandwiches.

    Absolutely delicious! I added bell peppers to the onions which turned out perfectly. I didn’t have seasoning salt so I subbed in a pinch some adobo seasoning instead since the ingredients were similar enough. I didn’t have provolone so I used gorgonzola, which added a sharp, musky flavor to the steak that was out of this world! 10/10 would make again – it’s already on theenu for next week! Thank you.

      we use our leftovers (just two of us) from the 1lb pkg at Trader Joes–(they are so much better than what I found at our local Smiths/Kroger)…we use them for breakfast…fried egg, lots and lots of melty cheese…and I cut off the ‘ends’ from the sandwiches the night before and give them a quick little ‘toast’ on the pan w/ a brush of butter….basically an open-faced Philly Cheese Steak a la egg! ;-). (remember that authentic Philly is not using bell peppers (ever!)…get the Cherry Peppers in a jar in the condiment section. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I made this tonight and I put it on Subway’s multi grain bread. Very good! Only thing I might do different is add some sort of shredded cheese and mix it in really good and put provolone slices on top still. (We really like our cheese here.) Great recipe. Will make again.

    Delicious. I added some minced garlic and sliced mushrooms with the onions and also some sliced bell peppers. Great on homemade soft hoagie rolls.

    Not only are these cheesesteak sandwiches absolutely fantastic, I made them in about 30 minutes. Another wonderful easy dinner recipe from The Fresh Cooky!

    This is a great quick recipe that my husband loves! I get the shaved rib-eye from Trader Joes and keep it in the freezer. I often serve a broccoli salad and chips on the side.

    Sounds good, trying this tonight. I noticed in the cooking instructions, you didnโ€™t mention the bell peppers โ€ฆ ?

      Add when cooking the onions. Thanks for pointing that out Rhoda! Iโ€™ll have to amend the instructions!!

    Came looking for this recipe for this year’s super bowl party after we enjoyed these sandwiches so much last year. So glad I found it!
