Notes
Creating an authentic and delicious Philly Cheesesteak at home can be easy with the proper techniques. Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making Philly Cheesesteak like a pro:
- Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Ribeye steak is the traditional choice for its marbling and tenderness. If ribeye is not available, sirloin is a good alternative.
- Thinly Slice the Meat: For a true Philly Cheesesteak, the meat should be sliced as thinly as possible. A sharp knife or a meat slicer can help achieve the desired thinness.
- Use the Right Cheese: While Cheez Whiz is a popular choice in Philadelphia, provolone and American cheese are also traditional options. Use what you prefer, or try a combination for different flavor profiles or even a dairy-free version.
- Assemble Quickly: Assemble the sandwiches quickly while everything is hot. This helps the cheese melt fully and keeps the sandwiches warm for serving.
- Serve Immediately: Philly Cheesesteaks are best enjoyed hot and fresh after assembly. However, for some people they prefer to let their cheesesteak rest for a couple of minutes.
- Low-Carb/Keto Option:
- Use large lettuce leaves to hold the steak and vegetable mixture for a low-carb option. Place a portion of the mixture onto each lettuce leaf and wrap it up like a burrito.
- Alternatively use keto bread, we have a great Keto Loaf Bread recipe that can be converted into rolls.
- If you prefer, you can use low-carb tortillas or wraps to make a more traditional sandwich. Fill each wrap with the steak and vegetable mixture and roll it up.
