  • Author: yumrow

  • Yield: 2 servings

Description

Experience the ultimate indulgence with this Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese, where gooey cheese meets savory beef in a perfectly toasted sandwich. It’s the perfect twist on two classic favorites that will impress your taste buds!


Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced ribeye steak
  • Cheez Whiz, provolone, or a blend of provolone and mozzarella
  • Hearty sourdough or Italian bread
  • Sautéed onions
  • Bell peppers
  • Unsalted butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Begin by slicing your ribeye steak into thin strips. If it’s easier, you can freeze the steak for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Add thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking until they are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced steak. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak, mixing everything together for a minute to let the flavors meld.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: On a slice of your chosen bread, layer a generous amount of the steak mixture and top with your cheese of choice. Add another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
  6. Grill the Sandwich: Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter, and once melted, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. Add more butter as needed to achieve that perfect crust.
  7. Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute before cutting it in half to allow the cheese to set slightly.

Keywords: If you're using a cheese that doesn't melt easily, consider mixing in a bit of cream cheese or a splash of milk with your shredded cheese to help it melt better. Don’t skimp on the steak! A good amount of filling ensures every bite is flavorful. Aim for a 1/2 inch thick layer of the steak mixture.
