Philly Cheesesteak
Thinly sliced beef is seasoned and perfectly pan-seared with a mixture of peppers and onions, topped with melty provolone cheese in this Philly Cheesesteak sandwich recipe.
We are using the NEW Signature SELECT Beef Shaved Steak in this recipe, available exclusively at Safeway and Albertsons affiliate stores. The shaved beef is USDA Choice grade and contains no fillers or by-products. It’s perfect for fajitas, stir fry, salads, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, calzones, and more!
Philly Cheesesteaks originated in Philadelphia (hence the name) and in some areas are made with Cheese Wiz, a processed cheese sauce, and in other areas are made with provolone cheese. You can use any cheese you’d like but provolone and mozzarella melt the best for this as they are not overly greasy.
The meal is easy to assemble and comes together in under 20 minutes, making it a perfect option for a weeknight meal the whole family will love. My kids love steak, so it’s only natural that they would LOVE cheesesteak sandwiches as well!
