About this Recipe

Pressure Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich makes a delicious, kid-friendly, and filling meal on its own. However, if you want a soup and sandwich combo, we’d recommend serving it up with a pot of Philly Cheesesteak Soup or even Taco Soup. You may wish to use a slimmer bread than a hoagie bun to make an easier-to-dip sandwich. 

How to Store

  • Serve: Don’t leave your Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak recipe at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
  • Store: You can store sandwiches wrapped tightly in aluminum foil for up to 3 days in the fridge. If you’re worried about the sandwich bread becoming soggy, separate the filling from the bread. You can store all the sandwich fillings in one airtight container. Add it to fresh bread before serving. 
  • Freeze: Kept tightly wrapped and frozen, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches can stay good for 3 months.

Variations

  • Cheese: Along with the cheese sauce, you can add slices of cheese. Try adding provolone cheese, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or pepper jack cheese. 
  • Chicken Philly Cheese: You can make Instant Pot Chicken Sandwiches by using chicken breast instead of beef. Instant Pot Chicken Philly Sandwich won’t taste as authentic, but it’s still incredibly delicious. 
  • Steak: Instead of chuck roast, try using sirloin steak, roast beef, ribeye, or tenderloin in the pressure cooker cheesesteak recipe. 
  • Bread: You can essentially use any kind of crusty bread for this sandwich. French bread, focaccia, or sourdough would do nicely.
