How To Make Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, sliced onions, and bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the shaved ribeye. Cook the ribeye steak until no pink remains, then season with seasoned salt. Drizzle cheez whiz over the mixture and stir to combine.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of the Texas toast and allow it to brown in a separate skillet. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each piece of toast, then top one slice with some of the steak and vegetable mixture. Add the other slice of toast on top and finish browning the sandwich until the melted cheese is gooey and the toast is golden brown.

Tip and Tricks For The BEST Cheesesteak Sandwich
- High Heat for Crispy Finish: When grilling your sandwich, cook on high heat to achieve a crisp, golden-brown crust while ensuring the cheese inside is perfectly melted.
- Shaved Ribeye Tip: If you opt for shaving your own ribeye, stick it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes prior to slicing. This will help stiffen it up and make it easier to cut.
- Fresh Ingredients: For the best results, always use fresh ingredients like shaved ribeye steak, bell peppers, and onions. The fresher the ingredients, the more flavorful your sandwich will be!
- Cheese Combination: While melted provolone cheese or cheez wiz is a classic choice, feel free to add mozzarella cheese or melted white American cheese for an extra cheesy, gooey alternative.
How To Store Leftovers
-
Refrigerate: Philly cheesesteak leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, heat the meat mixture and add it to a fresh grilled cheese.
-
Freeze: If you want to keep the meat mixture for longer, you can freeze it up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, reheat it in a skillet and place it in a freshly cooked grilled cheese.
