How To Make Philly Cheese Steak?

1. Prep the Steak: Freeze the steak for 30-45 minutes, then slice it thinly.
2. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush steak with oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 45-60 seconds per side.
3. Make the Provolone Sauce: Melt butter, add flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warm milk, cook until thick, then add cheese, salt, and pepper.
4. Cook the Mushrooms: Heat oil and butter in a pan. Add mushrooms, cook until golden, then stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.
5. Caramelize the Onions: Heat butter and oil in a pan. Add onions, and cook slowly for 30-40 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
6. Cook the Peppers: Heat oil in a pan, add peppers, cook until soft, and season with salt and pepper.
7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place steak on rolls, and top with cheese sauce, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.

Recipe Tips:

• Slice the Steak Thinly: Freezing the steak for 30-45 minutes makes it easier to slice thinly, which is key for getting the right texture in your Philly Cheese Steak.
• Grill the Rolls: Toasting the hoagie rolls adds extra flavor and makes the sandwich even better.
• Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh, high-quality mushrooms like cremini or shiitake give the dish a rich, savory flavor.
• Caramelize the Onions Slowly: Cook the onions slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness, which is a must for a great sandwich.
• Don’t Overcook the Steak: Cook the steak just long enough (45-60 seconds per side) to keep it tender and juicy inside.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Philly Cheese Steak cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze the steak and toppings separately in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Heat the sandwich in a pan over medium heat, covering it with a lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until warm.
