Description
This juicy, tender and cheesy Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak is packed with so much flavor and is so easy to make for a weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided (regular or plant-based)
- 6 large hoagie buns (about 6 inches long)
- 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 pounds ribeye steak, thinly sliced*
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 10–12 slices of white American cheese
Instructions
- Prep: Bring the flattop griddle to a medium-high heat.
- Toast Buns: Spread about 2 tablespoons butter on the inside of the hoagie buns. Once the griddle is hot, open the buns to place the buttered side down and let toast for 30 seconds – 1 minute. Carefully remove and set aside.
- Cook Veggies: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter around the hot cooktop to melt. Add the onions and peppers. Move around to cook for 1-2 minutes and move to the side of the Blackstone.
- Cook Beef: On the other side of the griddle add the thinly sliced beef with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Let the steak cook for about 1-2 minutes, flip and toss around for another 1-2 minutes or until mostly cooked.
- Combine: Move the cooked peppers and onions to the middle and combine with the cooked beef.
- Add Cheese: Now place white American cheese slices on top the mixture and close the lid to melt. Once it is very melty, use the spatula to give it a little toss with the meat to slightly combine.
- Make Sandwiches: Move the cheesesteak mixture directly off the Blackstone and into a toasted hoagie. Continue this process until they are all filled and place on a baking sheet to serve.
- Serve: Enjoy these philly cheesesteaks right away!
Notes
- *Beef: simply ask the meat department at your local grocery store or butcher shop to very thinly slice your desired cut of beef. We used ribeye steak, but sirloin steak would be great too!
- Hoagie Buns: our bakery department had large buns that were about 6 inches in length but feel free to use your favorite hoagies or even a hot dog bun, if that is all you have.
- Dairy-Free: use a plant-based butter and dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Cast Iron Skillet: option to use a large skillet on the stovetop, instead of a Blackstone, or even a cast iron griddle on your stove or gas grill. However, you may need to cook in batches or use 2 skillets.
- Storage: the meat mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days but you will want to keep that separate from the buns to prevent sogginess. Only place in the buns when ready to eat.
