Description

Sizzling Philly steak & cheese skillet brings hearty comfort straight from Philadelphia’s culinary heart. Melted cheese, tender beef, and caramelized peppers create a quick, satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (454 g) thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin), cut into strips
  • 8 ounces (226 g) mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 68 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Meat Preparation: Generously season sliced steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sear in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until beautifully caramelized and browned. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
  2. Vegetable Sautéing: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until they become translucent and tender. Introduce minced garlic and cook briefly to release aromatic flavors.
  3. Flavor Fusion: Reintroduce seared steak into the vegetable medley, drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, sprinkle Italian seasoning, and gently integrate all ingredients, allowing flavors to harmonize.
  4. Cheese Melting: Lower heat and strategically layer provolone cheese across the skillet’s contents. Cover and allow cheese to melt smoothly, creating a luxurious, creamy coating over the meat and vegetables.
  5. Plating: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, either as a standalone skillet dish or nestled within warm rolls for a classic Philly cheesesteak experience.

Notes

  • Select thin-cut ribeye or sirloin for tender, flavorful results and slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use medium-high heat to achieve perfect caramelization without burning the meat or vegetables, watching skillet temperature carefully.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings gradually to build depth, allowing each ingredient to release its unique flavor profile.
  • Use low heat when adding cheese to prevent scorching and ensure smooth, even melting across the entire skillet.
