Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Thank you CenterCutCook


1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 of a green pepper, thinly sliced
4-6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
salt, pepper for seasoning
1 and 1/4 pounds top sirloin steak
1-2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
4 soft hoagie rolls
8 White american cheese slices or 8 pepper-jack cheese slices
Mayo or chipotle mayo


Chipotle Mayo:
1/2 cup mayo
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/2 tablespoon sauce from the adobo pepper can
1 tablespoon lime juice
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper

  • 1 hour before cooking, place steak in the freezer.
  • When you’re ready to start cooking, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. 
  • Cook veggies until tender.
  • While the veggies are cooking, remove the steak from the freezer and use a very sharp knife to slice the meat as thinly as possible against the grain.
  • When the veggies are done cooking, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium high heat.
  • Place 4 hoagie rolls in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until nice and warm, but not crunchy.
  • Add half the meat to the pan and season with a bit of salt and pepper. 
  • Cook for a few minutes until it is cooked through. Set aside.
  • Heat a bit more oil if needed and cook the other half of the meat, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Return the first batch of meat to the pan, stir in veggies if you wish, and top with cheese. 
  • Use 8 pepper jack cheese slices for a spicy version, or 8 white American cheese slices for a classic version. 
  • Place the cheese over the meat and when it starts to melt, stir the cheese into the meat and veggie mixture.
  • Divide the meat among the 4 hoagie rolls.
  • If using chipotle mayo, combine all ingredients in a blender (mayo, chipotle pepper, chipotle sauce, lime juice, salt and pepper) and slather desired amount on each roll. 
  • Otherwise spread a thin layer of regular mayo on the roll.
  • Cut in half and serve immediately.
  • Serves 4
