Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Philly Cheesesteaks
- Steak – rib eye is the most common type of beef used when making a Philly Cheesesteak but a few others you can use are New York strip, sirloin, or top round. Just thinly slice against the grain into strips.
- Seasoning – a mixture of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Onion – yellow onion. Thinly sliced and caramelized in the skillet with the peppers.
- Peppers – yellow and red bell peppers. Although, classic Philly Cheesesteaks do not have peppers, this is a fun spin on the original version.
- Hoagie rolls – each roll is perfect for an individual serving.
- Pepper Jack cheese – provolone is another common substitute.
To Make Philly Cheesesteaks

Philly Cheesesteaks
Ingredients
- 2 pounds rib eye or New York strip steak, sliced into ¼-inch strips
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

Instructions
- Place the sliced steak into a large bowl along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half of the Philly cheesesteak seasoning. Toss until steak is coated in seasoning.
