Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)
Juicy beef, melted cheese, and sautéed vegetables sandwiched between buttery golden bread—ultimate comfort fusion.
# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Beef
01 - 10 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin, trimmed and chopped
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
05 - 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
→ Cheese
07 - 8 slices provolone cheese or American cheese
→ Bread & Butter
08 - 8 slices hearty white or sourdough bread
09 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell pepper; sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - Increase heat to medium-high. Add chopped steak to the same skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until just browned. Return onions and peppers to the pan, toss to combine, then remove from heat.
03 - Spread softened butter onto one side of each bread slice. Arrange 4 slices, buttered side down, on a clean work surface. Top each with 1 slice of provolone cheese, a generous portion of steak mixture, another slice of provolone, then finish with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
04 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill sandwiches in batches, gently pressing with a spatula, for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
05 - Remove sandwiches from the skillet, allow to rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve while hot.
