Ingredients needed to make Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Olive oil, divided
Yellow onion, thinly sliced
Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Salt, divided
Ground black pepper, divided
Boneless ribeye steak, sliced thin and then diced
Hoagie rolls
Butter, melted
Cheese whiz

How to make Philly Cheesesteak Recipe:

Saute the veggies. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sliced peppers, season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and sauté until they are soft and caramelized. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and set aside.

Cook the meat. After using a sharp knife to but the rib eye into thin slices, add to the same skillet, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the steak, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and saute until you see barely any pink in the ribeye. Be careful not to overcook the beef. Turn off the heat and stir the sauteed veggies into the meat.

Toast the rolls. Brush the melted butter over the inside of the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet, spread open (buttered side up). Place the buns under the broiler for 2 minutes for a good toasted roll.

Heat up the cheese whiz. Measure the cheese whiz into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until it’s almost liquid-y and pourable.
