This easy Philly Cheesesteak Recipe is the ultimate game day fare! Tender bites of sirloin, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted provolone cheese are all cooked up in one skillet and loaded on toasted hoagie rolls.
If you love a good Philly Cheesesteak and have always wished you could create this delicious classic at home, you are in the right place!
I cook for six here so I’m painfully aware of the need to streamline my cooking processes and always make a concentrated effort to limit cleanup. Especially with recipes that will be happening when I’m entertaining or in the case of this weekend, watching the big game (go Niners!). We may not be in California anymore but it’s still all about the 49ers in this house.
This recipe cooks up enough Philly Cheesesteak filling to load up 8 hoagie rolls and it’s all done in one skillet on the stove.
I love to add bell peppers and onions to add a burst of color and a ton of flavor to these tasty cheesesteaks.

How to Prepare the Hoagie Rolls
This is an important step for a good quality Cheesesteak!
Whenever making any substantial sandwiches with warm ingredients it is always a good idea to toast the rolls first. You’ll have just the right amount of time to take care of this task while the cheese is melting into the beef and veggie mixture.
- Split the rolls but do not separate them. Lightly butter the inside and place them, opened up, on a baking sheet.
- Pop the baking sheet in a preheated 400 degree F oven.
- Divide the Philly Cheesesteak mixture between the toasted hoagie rolls and you are ready to serve.
These are substantial sandwiches that will satisfy your hungriest guests and spot-on perfect for Super Bowl Sunday! That being said, I think they are pretty darned perfect for any day.
How to Make Philly Cheesesteaks with Peppers and Onions
The process is easy! You’ll need a large, deep sauté pan to start. If you don’t have any large sauté pans, a Dutch oven will do the trick.
- Sauté thinly sliced onion and bell pepper in vegetable oil over medium-low heat. You want to avoid browning the peppers and onions so if they do begin to brown, reduce the heat under the pan a bit. When they are nice and tender, transfer them to a large dish and set aside.
- Add additional oil to the pan and then add half of the chopped sirloin to the hot pan. Season with a little Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, or your favorite all-purpose seasoning, and a little garlic pepper. Cook and stir until browned and then transfer this first batch of browned beef to the dish with the peppers and onions.
- Return the pan to the heat and transfer the cooked veggies and beef to the pan. Place sliced provolone over the top and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt (note – the recipe calls for 7 slices of provolone but these process photos were scaled down a bit.)
- Use tongs to mix the melted cheese throughout the beef and veggie mixture and it’s time to load up those hoagie rolls!
