How to Make an Authentic Philly Cheesesteak at Home
Cook the Beef:
- Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced steak, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Transfer the steak to a bowl and set aside.
Tip: Do not overcook the steak—it should stay tender and juicy.
Cook the Vegetables:
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet.
- Add the onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelised.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the steak.
Add the Cheese:
- While everything is still warm, add the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella to the bowl.
- Mix well until fully combined and the cheese melts.
Assemble the sandwich: Slice the sandwich rolls lengthwise and fill each roll generously with the steak and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
For The Best Texture And Flavor:
- Slice the steak as thin as possible.
- Cook the steak on high heat for a proper sear, and don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Mix the cheese while the mixture is hot for a perfect melt.
- Use soft rolls, not crusty ones—they absorb the juices and taste better.
