Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese

  • 1 cup provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz)

Seasonings and Oils

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness; slice the red and green bell peppers and the large onion 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, sautéing until they become soft and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cook Beef and Garlic: Add the thinly sliced beef and minced garlic to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Melt Cheese: Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of provolone cheese over the beef and vegetables. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt and become gooey.
  5. Season: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Gently mix the ingredients to combine the flavors without breaking up the melted cheese too much.
  6. Serve: Serve the Philly steak and cheese mixture hot directly from the skillet or spoon it onto hoagie rolls for classic Philly sandwiches.

Notes

  • For faster cooking, you can use pre-sliced beef or ask your butcher to slice thinly.
  • Substitute provolone cheese with Cheez Whiz for a more authentic Philly cheese steak taste.
  • Using a mix of red and green bell peppers adds both color and flavor to the dish.
  • Adjust seasoning and cheese amount to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve with hoagie rolls or as is for a low-carb option.
