Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 1 cup provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz)

Pantry

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Italian seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef sirloin: Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness when cooked. Prepare the bell peppers and onion by slicing them into strips.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the beef and garlic: Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the provolone cheese (or spread Cheez Whiz) over the cooked beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt completely.
  5. Season the dish: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning according to your taste. Gently mix to combine the flavors evenly.
  6. Serve: Serve the Philly Steak & Cheese hot directly from the skillet, or spoon it onto hoagie rolls for classic sandwiches.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, marinate the beef slices briefly with a little soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce before cooking.
  • You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese for different flavors.
  • Add mushrooms or jalapeños for additional texture and spice.
  • This recipe can be served as a sandwich filling or a skillet meal over rice or fries.
  • Using pre-sliced beef can save prep time.
