Use the slow cooker’s "Low" setting to cook your beef with peppers, onions, and seasoning for 6-8 hours. This slow-cooking method tenderizes the meat, allowing the flavors to develop and infusing your cheesesteak with rich, savory goodness. Top with melted cheese before serving.
Use the Instant Pot’s "Saute" function to quickly sear your beef and vegetables. Then, switch to "Pressure Cook" for 5 minutes to lock in flavors and tenderize the beef. This method ensures a juicy and flavorful cheesesteak in under 20 minutes.
Use the air fryer to cook individual portions of your Philly cheesesteak in minutes. After sautéing the beef and vegetables on the stovetop, load them into a toasted roll and air fry at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp up the sandwich.
Choose sliced rib-eye steak, but many restaurants offer other options like sirloin or even chicken. It's important to choose a tender cut that can be cooked quickly on a hot surface to retain its juiciness.
The two most common types of cheese used in Philly Cheesesteak are American and provolone. Both have their unique flavor and meltability, so it's a matter of personal preference. Some restaurants even offer a mix of both.
The bread is a crucial element of a good Cheesesteak, and it should be fresh and soft with a slightly crunchy crust. Many places use Amoroso rolls imported from Philadelphia for an authentic taste.
While the classic Cheesesteak only has meat, cheese, and onions, many variations include peppers, mushrooms, bacon, or even egg. It's important to balance the flavors and textures to create a tasty and satisfying sandwich.
Philly Cheesesteaks are usually messy and require some skills to eat without making a mess. Some people prefer to use utensils or cut the sandwich in half, while others embrace the juiciness and dive in with their hands
