  • 2 tablespoons butter

Veggies

  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

Cheese

  • 4–6 slices provolone or

Optional Add-ons

  • Red pepper flakes
  • Garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley

🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the meat
    • Freeze ribeye for 20–30 minutes (makes thin slicing easier).
    • Slice as thin as possible.
  2. Season the steak
    • Toss with half the salt & pepper.
  3. Cook the veggies
    • In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter + oil.
    • Add onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
    • Season with remaining salt & pepper.
    • Cook until soft and slightly caramelized.
    • Remove from skillet.
  4. Cook the steak
    • Add remaining tablespoon of butter.
    • Add steak slices in one layer.
    • Cook 1–2 minutes, flipping once.
    • Splash Worcestershire sauce over the top.
  5. Combine with veggies
    • Add veggies back in.
    • Mix until everything is hot, juicy, and sizzling.
  6. Melt the cheese
    Choose your method:
    A) Lay provolone on top, cover skillet until melted.
    B) Stir in shredded cheese.
    C) Serve steak mixture and drizzle Cheez Whiz over it.
  7. Assemble the sandwich
    • Spoon mixture into toasted hoagie rolls.
    • Add extra cheese if you dare. (You should dare.)
  8. Serve immediately
    • And prepare for instant, dramatic applause.

🔧 METHODS (For Cheesesteak Perfection)

1. Thin slicing

The thinner the steak, the more authentic the texture.

2. Hot skillet

High heat gives that signature charred edge.

3. Butter + oil combo

Butter adds flavor, oil prevents burning.

4. Layer then melt

Cheese melts best when added at the end.

5. Toast the roll

This prevents sogginess and adds flavor.


📜 HISTORY

The Philly Cheesesteak was born in Philadelphia in the 1930s, created by Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor who threw some beef on the grill for lunch.
A passing cab driver asked for one… and the rest is history.

What followed:

  • Rivalries (Pat’s vs. Geno’s)
  • Cheese debates (Whiz vs. provolone vs. American)
  • Add-on wars (onions? mushrooms? peppers?)

But one thing never changed:
It became an American icon.


🧬 FORMATION (How Everything Works Together)

  • Butter melts into the steak → savory richness
  • Worcestershire → umami depth
  • Onions + peppers → sweetness + aroma
  • Thin steak → tenderness in each bite
  • Cheese → creamy binder holding everything in harmony
  • Toasted roll → structure + satisfying crunch

This is food engineering at its finest.
