Before we dive into the meat and cheese of this dish, let’s chat about what to serve alongside Geno’s Philly Cheesesteak. A classic choice is a side of crispy fries. They’re golden, crunchy, and perfect for dipping. Another option? A simple side salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette can balance the richness of the cheesesteak.

Ingredients
  

  • 7 ounces thinly shaved ribeye steak, tender and flavorful.
  • 1 soft-crusted Italian sub roll, sliced lengthwise.
  • 1/4 cup finely diced sweet Vidalia onion or mild white onion.
  • 3 tablespoons of creamy Cheddar cheese spread.
  • 1/4 cup sautéed bell pepper strips.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.

Method
 

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Thinly slice your ribeye steak if it’s not already. You want those pieces to be as delicate as possible. While you’re at it, slice your onion and sauté those bell peppers until they’re just tender. This can all be prepped in less than ten minutes.
Step 2: Get Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil and toss in the ribeye steak. Cook it until it’s no longer pink, which takes about three to four minutes. As the steak cooks, incorporate the onions and sautéed bell peppers. Here’s where the magic happens. The steak absorbs all those incredible flavors.
Step 3: Assemble Your Sandwich
  1. Now for the fun part! Take your soft Italian sub roll and gently scoop out some of the bread from the center to make room for all those delicious fillings. Slather on that creamy Cheddar cheese spread on both sides of the bread. This is not the time to be shy with cheese.
Step 4: Stuff It
  1. Once your steak and veggie mixture is cooked, pour it generously into the Italian sub roll. If you fancy a little heat, add some pepperoncini or jalapeños at this stage. A spoonful of Dijon mustard on top will bring even more flavor complexity.
Step 5: Toast (Optional)
  1. If you like your bread a bit crispy and the cheese melted, pop the assembled sandwich under a broiler for a minute or two. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
Step 6: Serve
  1. Slice your masterpiece in half and serve hot. Enjoy it alongside those crispy fries or a bright salad!

  • Cheddar Cheese Spread: This adds an ultra-creamy texture, making the sandwich distinctively rich.
  • Bell Peppers: Packed with nutrients, they also bring a freshness that complements the robust flavors.
