Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

I love philly cheesesteaks, just love them so much but truth be told, it's kinda hard to find a really good one.


Luckily here on base we do have Charley's which make really good sandwiches, but I want to be able to make it for myself at home.

I have tried so many recipes and I don't we'll ever be able to make it exactly like you would get in Philly, but some do come close.

This one is pretty good, at least for me, you'll have to judge for yourself.



2 T. butter
1 lb. beef top or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
seasoned salt and pepper to taste
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
Optional: 1 c. sliced mushrooms
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1 lb. provolone cheese, Gouda or Swiss cheese, sliced
6 hoagie buns or baguettes, split

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until slightly browned.

Add steak;  sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper and saute just until browned.  Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, if desired, and green pepper;  stir.  Cover and simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until onion and pepper are tender.

Add additional salt and pepper to taste.  Remove from heat;  set aside.  Place 2 to 3 cheese slices in each bun;  top each with 2 to 3 tablespoonfuls of steak mixture.  Top with additional cheese, if desired.


Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil;  bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Makes 6 sandwiches.
