Philly Cheesesteak Recipe
These Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches are the perfect dinner to make when you don’t have a lot of time but are craving something hearty, filling and flavorful. The tender roast beef soaks up flavorful juices and tastes delicious with thinly sliced peppers and onions. Add lots of buttery cheese, pop the whole thing on soft hoagie bread, warm it under the broiler and you have a satisfying, fulfilling sandwich that is warm and tasty. Whip these sandwiches up and serve them with some veggies and dip, French fries, or potato chips, and you’ve got yourself a meal the whole family will love. Some of my kids don’t like the peppers and onions, so I just pile the extras up on my sandwich.
Suggestions for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches
- My husband taught me this trick: add a nice, thick layer of cream cheese on the bread. It adds a whole new dimension that I just can’t live without anymore. The cream cheese softens with the hot meat and veggies and melts perfectly.
- I like to get thinly sliced roast beef from the deli counter at my grocery store, but you could use pre-sliced deli meat or even leftover roast beef from Sunday dinner. Just make sure the beef is nice and thin; the flavor of the juice soaks in better that way when you simmer it.
- Cut the peppers and onions up really thin too so they cook evenly. You want them tender but not mushy.
- You can find the hoagie rolls at pretty much any grocery store or use our Homemade Subway Bread recipe if you like homemade bread better!

Didn’t like the cream cheese but only did a sample with it, otherwise it was good.
Cream cheese isn’t for everyone – haha. I’m glad you tested it for your taste!
We all love cheesesteaks here. I haven’t tried adding cream cheese and would like to give that a try next time I make them.
My Hubby loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe!
This is a family favorite! We make it all of the time and it’s super easy to put together!
This was so easy and DELISH! Will be making again!

ABSOLUTELY delicious! Forgot to get onion soup mixture, but improvised an it turned out great. Thank you for your AWESOME recipes.
What kind of roast&cheese do I buy for the philly cheesesteaks.
I bought medium-rare roast from the deli and I used Havarti cheese last time and it was WONDERFUL. People typically use provolone though. Hope this helps!
These hoagies are amazing! I’m making them for the second time in two weeks right now! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! This is a keeper for sure! ????????????
So glad that you like them! They are definitely a “regular” at our house, too!
