The flavors of Philly Cheesesteaks are so perfect together, with savory tender beef, complemented by the onions, mushrooms and peppers all grilled to perfection, and topped with melty provolone cheese. It’s no wonder this flavor combination makes it into so many recipes on this site! In fact three of the most popular recipes on the site are the sloppy joes, the grilled cheese and these outrageous Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches which you’ll love to make all through the fall season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cut of beef is used for Philly Cheesesteak?

Philly Cheesesteaks are classically made using thinly sliced ribeye meat. You can certainly use other cuts but they may not be as tender. The slices you’ll use in the cheesy bread are thicker than the slices found in a traditional cheesesteak because you are cooking them for a much longer amount of time in the oven and want to be sure they still stay tender. Other tender cuts of meat like flap meat or very well marbled New York steaks may also be substituted.

How do you cut steak thinly?

The best way to cut a steak thinly is to freeze it partially before slicing. 1-2 hours in the freezer is enough to make slicing a breeze and the meat defrosts naturally in just five minutes once sliced.

Can you skip the mayonnaise or substitute anything?

The mayonnaise adds moisture to the mixture to create a tender and chewy cheesy bread. If you skip it you may end up with a texture more similar to a crostini with steak and cheese on top. If you substitute the mayonnaise with butter you may find that the bread is still crispier rather than softer.

  1. I’m from Philly and green peppers do NOT go in a cheese steak (unless requested)!!!!! A real Philly cheese steak is served on a long roll with steak and cheese everything else is requested by the customer.
    Other than that this was pretty good!
