Giant Philly Cheesesteak Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cheesesteak:
- 2 pounds thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 large bell peppers (green or a mix of colors), thinly sliced
- 8 slices of provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz if you prefer)
- 4 large Italian rolls or sub rolls
For Seasoning:
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat the Cooking Surface:
- If using a griddle or a large skillet, preheat it over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Ribeye:
- Season the thinly sliced ribeye with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add a bit of olive oil to the hot cooking surface. Cook the ribeye slices in batches until they are browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same cooking surface, add more oil if needed and sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are soft and caramelized.
- Combine Steak and Vegetables:
- Once the vegetables are cooked, combine them with the cooked ribeye on the cooking surface. Mix everything together so the flavors meld.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Place slices of provolone cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture. Allow the cheese to melt and create a gooey, delicious layer over the top.
- Prepare the Rolls:
- While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the Italian rolls on the griddle or in a toaster.
- Assemble the Cheesesteak:
- Once the cheese is melted and the rolls are toasted, use a spatula to carefully scoop up the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture and place it onto the rolls.
- Serve Immediately:
- Serve the giant Philly cheesesteaks immediately while they are hot and gooey.
Tips:
- You can customize your Philly cheesesteak with additional toppings like mushrooms, jalapeños, or hot peppers.
- If you prefer a traditional Philly cheesesteak, you can use Cheez Whiz instead of provolone cheese.
