Fabulously Flavorful, Meaty & Cheesy, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches

I’m so excited to share one of my all time favorite sandwiches with you today! Cheese steak sandwiches are packed with tender grilled strips of beef, grilled onions, and bell peppers all smothered in melty cheese. Be still my beating heart, I love me a good cheese steak sandwich! How about you?

What’s even better is how easy they are to make. That means you can make these scrumptious sandwiches anytime you get a hankering for them. One bite of this delectable sandwich and I guarantee you will be getting that hankering quite often!

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.

Slice beef, onion and green bell pepper. Set aside.

Cut a long slit down the center of each hoagie roll, with your fingers, remove bread from the center of each roll, forming a hollowed out “boat”.

Spread a tablespoon of mayo in the hollowed out insides of each hoagie roll.

Place two slices of Provolone cheese into the bottom and along sides of each hollowed out hoagie roll. Set rolls aside.

In a large skillet heat butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sliced bell pepper, cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan, set aside.

Add 2 more tablespoons butter to the skillet. Add sliced beef.

Season beef with chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss beef to coat with seasonings.

Cook until beef is cooked through.

Place a generous amount of cooked beef strips into each hollowed out prepared hoagie roll and a layer of grilled onions & peppers. 

Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Repeat layers, add another layer of beef, then another layer of peppers and grilled onions and top with a final layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Place sandwiches on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and sandwich is heated through.

Switch oven temperature to broil and toast sandwiches until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly. 

Serve immediately.
