Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
Seasoning and Extras
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- To taste Jalapeños, sliced
- To taste Hot Sauce
- 1 cup Provolone or Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Heat the oil and sauté onions: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and tender, which will bring out their natural sweetness.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute to release its fragrant aroma without burning it.
- Cook the beef sirloin: Increase the heat to high and add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté bell peppers: Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp, maintaining a nice texture contrast with the beef.
- Melt the cheese: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the pan and let the cheese melt for 3-4 minutes, creating a creamy, cohesive layer.
- Combine and season: Stir the mixture gently to combine the melted cheese evenly with the beef and vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding jalapeños and hot sauce to your preferred heat level.
- Serve: Serve the hot Philly cheesesteak mixture immediately, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more jalapeños or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
- Use thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye for the most tender beef in this recipe.
- You can substitute provolone or mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or American cheese.
- Serve with toasted hoagie rolls or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
