How to Make a Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak
What separates this Philly cheesesteak recipe from the crowd? The most important ingredient: the steak. Not just any steak is good enough to use in an Omaha Steaks recipe, and luckily for you (and your mouth!) when you buy ribeyes online from Omaha Steaks you get steak that is aged at least 28 days for maximum flavor and flash-frozen for consistent perfection, this unbelievably buttery-tender filet of prime rib boasts next-level marbling that melts as it cooks for the Philly cheesesteak experience you deserve!
1. Keep Your (Rib)eye on the Prize of This Recipe
Kick off this recipe by thawing your super-sized 10 oz. Omaha Steaks Ribeyes either overnight in the refrigerator or via our quick-thaw method. Remove them from the refrigerator and pat dry on all side with a paper towel, then thinly slice into 1/4“ mouthfuls of joy. Next, season the slices with wonderfully pure and clean-tasting kosher salt, spicy and citrusy black pepper, subtly sweet garlic powder, savory onion powder, and mild and peppery paprika (aka all your “dry” seasonings). Then allow your flavor-packed slices to come to room temperature, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Turn Up the Heat on That Meat
Now you’re ready to cook your Omaha Steaks Ribeye slices to tender perfection. Bring your cast-iron pan to medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Sauté your slices until they’re nicely browned, which should take three to four minutes. Then add your yellow onion slices – which will caramelize beautifully once cooked – your sweet red bell pepper slices, and your smashed garlic – which will be exponentially stronger than if it were simply sliced. Sauté this divine mixture for about two to three minutes, until tender and cooked down.
3. Bring it All Home with Beefy Broth and Cheesy Provolone
Once your fixin’s are ready, add your umami-packed beef broth to the pan and simmer for two to four minutes, or until reduced by 1/3 in volume, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Now it’s time to bring out the cheese! Reduce the heat to low and cover the steak, onion, and pepper mixture with complex, buttery, and nutty provolone cheese and continue to simmer for about two minutes, or until your cheese is ooey, gooey, and heavenly.
4. You’re on a Roll!
While your cheese is melting, bring a separate pan to medium heat and spread a tablespoon of creamy mayonnaise on the inside of each side of your hoagie rolls, then toast them until they reach peak crispiness, which should only take 40 seconds or so. Finally, divide your cheesesteak mixture evenly between your hoagies and level-up the flavor even more by drizzling some of that mouthwatering pan jus over your ready-to-devour ribeye Philly cheesesteaks!
