🥩Ingredients
Here are the ingredients we used for this recipe. You can find more information for substitutions below.
- Olive oil
- Shaved steak - We used very thin slices of ribeye. Cut it thin yourself with a sharp knife, or ask your butcher or deli clerk to cut it thin for you. Freezing the steak for about an hour before cutting it can help to cut it very thin.
- Kosher salt & black pepper
- Green bell peppers
- Onion
- Garlic powder and onion powder
- Hawaiian sweet rolls - Or any slider rolls of your choice.
- Worcestershire sauce
- Unsalted butter
- Garlic - Freshly minced garlic cloves aren't a traditional ingredient, but if you want to take this recipe to the next level, garlic butter on top makes these incredible!
- Provolone cheese slices
- Parsley - Optional

✨Substitutions & variations
Here's a few suggestions on additional flavors to try, or simple variations to this recipe.
- Use a different cut of meat - While ribeye is the traditional ingredient for a Philly cheesesteak, you should use your cut of choice, or leftover steak, or thinly sliced deli roast beef, or even ground beef. Some other top choices of steaks to use would be New york strip, bavette steak, or skirt steak.
- Use different cheeses - American cheese and cheez whiz are common ingredients used in a Philly cheesesteak as well.
- Omit the garlic - Feel free to omit the garlic in the garlic butter sauce, as it's not a traditional ingredient in the cheesesteak. It is delicious however!
🔪Prep work
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Prep a small baking dish or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thinly slice green peppers and onions.
- Cut the ribeye into very thin slices with a sharp knife.
- Measure out all ingredients.
📋Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, Worcestershire, garlic and onion powder, and parsley. (Image 1)
Season the shaved steak meat with kosher salt and pepper. Set aside. (Image 2)
With a serrated knife, cut the rolls in half and set aside the tops. Place the bottoms into a parchment-lined casserole dish. (Image 3)
Spread some of the melted butter mixture evenly on the bottom half of the rolls, reserving most for later on top. (Image 4)
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add half the oil and the steak. Using tongs, toss the steak, working quickly until the desired doneness is reached, the steak will cook quickly. Remove and set aside. (Image 5)
Heat more oil and add the sliced onions and green peppers. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until peppers are soft and onions are caramelized slightly. (Image 6)
✨Pro tip: A traditional Philly cheesesteak always has well-done beef! This is the only time we'd advocate for cooking a ribeye until well done. 😉
Add the steak back in, then pour in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat. (Image 7)
Remove from the skillet, and spread sautéed bell peppers, onion, and cooked steak mixture over top of the bottom halves of the rolls. (Image 8)
Add a layer of provolone cheese. (Image 9)
Add the top half of the buns back and pour the rest of the butter mixture slowly. Use a brush to get between the rolls and the sides. (Image 10)
For best results, cover the top of the casserole dish with aluminum foil to prevent the sliders from browning too quickly. After about 20 minutes of baking time, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Once golden brown, serve immediately and enjoy!
✨Top tips & tricks
- To help thinly slice the steak, place it in the freezer for about 1 hour before cutting. This helps make it easier to slice.
- Make sure to cover with foil for most of the cook time, or else the tops of the slider buns will brown too fast.
