Philly Cheesesteak

This Philly Cheesesteak is packed with thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions and cheez whiz.

People are very passionate about their Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches.  Some say melted provolone is the way to go, others prefer the gooey cheez whiz.  Whatever your preference, one thing is for sure, a Philly Cheesesteak is one amazing treat!  I’ve made cheesesteak sandwiches different ways, adding GWD twists, but this time around went for the classic. Cooked on the griddle,  the ribeye was perfectly tender and flavorful mixed in with sautéed onions while the creamy cheese added an amazing layer of creaminess making this sami irresistible. 

How to make creamy Cheez Whiz.

In a saucepan, add cubes of velveeta cheese, milk, shredded sharp cheddar, garlic and onion powder. Mix in all together until the sauce is creamy.  It’s that simple.

How to make a classic Philly Cheesesteak.

Ingredients for a Philly Cheesesteak are very simple.  All you need is thinly sliced ribeye, onions and a few spices that I’m sure are in every home.  

Preheat the griddle to a medium heat and spread olive oil on the flat top. Chop a white onion into bite size cubes and throw it on one side of the grill.  Season with salt and pepper and flip it around to ensure some nice color on all sides.  

Ribeye Steak and Onions for Philly Cheesesteak

Next, add the steak.  On the other side of the griddle, over high heat, add in the thinly sliced ribeye.  Using griddle spatulas, separate the slices and start slicing the ribeye into small bite size pieces.  Season with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and continue to flip making sure to cook all side.  Once the ribeye is cooked, mix in the onions and continue flipping until you get some nice crust around the edges of the meat.  Portion out equal sections of the the grilled steak that will go on each sandwich.

It’s time to assemble your classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.  Slice open some hoagie buns and toast the inside directly on the griddle for a nice texture. Next, lightly smear some of the cheez whiz on the freshly toasted bun, place it over the sectioned off grilled steak cuts and using a spatula, flip the sandwich around.  Add in a generous coating of the cheez whiz and enjoy!
