Open in Pepper →A cheesesteak is a whole dinner in one hand: thin steak, onions cooked down soft, cheese melted right into the meat. It feeds teenagers and it feeds a table of grown-ups, and nobody ever pushes it around the plate.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when everyone eats at a different hour, when the game is on, or when they need something hot and filling without a pile of side dishes.
Every recipe here handles it a little differently — the Easy Philly Cheesesteak with butter, baby bella mushrooms, and onion; Philly Cheesesteak Sliders baked in Hawaiian rolls; a classic ribeye version; a Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak built on chuck roast and beef consommé; and a Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak with Worcestershire and Dijon.
Freeze the steak first
Put ribeye in the freezer 30 to 45 minutes, then slice it against the grain as thin as you can. Half-frozen meat holds still under the knife.
Cook onions low and slow
Give sliced onions 12 to 15 minutes in butter over medium-low heat until they're soft and golden, before the meat ever hits the pan.
Get the pan hot
Sear the steak in a screaming-hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes total. Any longer and thin slices turn tough and gray.
Melt the cheese on top
Pile the meat, lay the cheese over it, and cover the pan for 1 minute so the steam melts it all the way through.
