Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
A Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is a popular and iconic dish originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It typically consists of thinly sliced rib-eye steak, sautéed onions, and bell peppers, topped with melted cheese, all served on a crusty Italian roll or hoagie bun.
The steak is cooked on a raclette, or other grill, and often chopped or thinly sliced during the cooking process. The onions and bell peppers are also cooked until caramelized and flavorful. Common cheese options include white American cheese, provolone, or Cheez Whiz.
When all the ingredients come together, the melted cheese binds the steak, onions, and peppers creating a gooey, savory filling that is then piled onto the sliced Italian roll or hoagie bun. The sandwich is typically served hot and is known for its rich flavors and satisfying combination of meat, cheese, and vegetables.
Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches are a beloved comfort food and a classic example of American regional cuisine, enjoyed by many both in Philadelphia and beyond.
