What Makes an Authentic Philly Cheesesteak?
An authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwich is a mouthwatering sandwich made with thinly sliced ribeye steak, melted cheese, and caramelized onions. The Philly cheesesteak originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the 1930s.
It's said a hot dog vendor was looking for a new sandwich to sell and decided to grill up some thinly sliced steak and onions, putting it on a roll! The sandwich became SO popular and is now an American classic!
The key to a perfect Philly cheese steak lies in the meat, which should be sliced thinly and cooked to a tender texture. The cheese should be melted just enough to hold everything together without overpowering the flavor of the steak. (Are you drooling yet?!)
And of course, the bread is also an important component, with a soft and slightly chewy texture that complements the filling!

Philly Cheesteak Bread Options
The bread is an essential component of any Philly cheesesteak recipe, providing a sturdy base for the filling while also adding its own unique flavor and texture.
While a classic hoagie roll is the most commonly used bread for this sandwich, other options such as a baguette or even a soft pretzel bun can also work well.
The bread should be soft enough to easily bite through without falling apart, but also sturdy enough to hold the filling without getting soggy.
Ultimately, the choice of bread comes down to personal preference, and trying out different options can be a fun way to customize your Philly cheesesteak recipe!
Storage
Once the meat, peppers, and onions are completely prepared, you can store the beef and veggies all together! Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To reheat: microwave for 30 seconds or in a small saucepan and pile high on your warm hoagie bun.
Top tip!
Don't forget to cook the veggies first. Pop the sheet tray into the oven with only the veggies for a few minutes so they get nice and tender.
The beef will cook quickly in the oven and takes a lot less time than the peppers to cook. So getting them started first with this recipe is important!
