Philly Cheesesteak Recipe: A Classic, Flavorful Sandwich Experience

Freeze the steak for 30-45 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly. Once firm, thinly slice the beef against the grain into very thin strips.
Cook the Vegetables:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sliced onions (and bell peppers, if using) to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until softened and caramelized. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Beef:

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced beef and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Cook the beef for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through.
Combine Beef and Veggies:

Return the cooked onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce if you prefer an extra depth of flavor.
Melt the Cheese:

Divide the beef and vegetable mixture into 4 sections on the skillet. Place a slice of provolone cheese over each section and let it melt, covering the skillet with a lid to help it melt faster.
Assemble the Sandwiches:

While the cheese melts, split the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket. Toast the rolls on a griddle or in the oven for extra crispness if desired.
Once the cheese has melted, carefully scoop the beef and cheese mixture onto each roll, making sure each sandwich gets an even portion of beef, veggies, and melted cheese.
Serve:

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like crispy fries or a pickle, and enjoy your homemade Philly Cheesesteak!
