What is a Philly Cheesesteak ?
A cheesesteak is a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. A popular regional fast food, it has its roots in the U.S. city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Wikipedia
CHEESE OPTIONS ON A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK:
The original Philly Cheesesteak didn’t even have cheese! Provolone was added later, and now you typically get a choice of Cheese Whiz, American, or sliced Provolone cheese. Provolone is my first choice too.
ONIONS OR NO ONIONS:
I love the added flavor of onions to a Philly Cheesesteak. However, the option is up to you. I use shallots ,
Shallots have a delicate and sweet flavor with a hint of sharpness
BEEF OPTIONS:
The best cut to use in a Philly Cheesesteak is ribeye or top round. Definitely avoid chuck steak or any other tough cuts. Always shave the meat very thinly. But I discovered packaged beef shaved steak at my local grocery store.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Season both sides of the beef shaved steak with salt and pepper . If slicing steak , slice very thin.
- Heat oil on a griddle ( my favorite way ) or a large skillet over medium heat. Add in sliced shallots or onions and sauté until soft about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add slices of shaved steak onto the pan in one layer to sear , 1-2 minutes, then flip and sear on the other side.
- Use a spatula to chop up the steak slices , then add in cooked shallots.
- Reduce the heat to low and top chopped steak with your choice of cheese.
- Butter your hoagie rolls lightly ( I also use garlic butter ) and toast them facing down util golden brown on the same griddle , then spread a thin layer of mayo and place on top of beef steak , cheese and shallot mix
- Then using a spatula , scoop up and flip over and you’ll have easily transferred your mix onto your hoagie rolls
Serve immediately and enjoy the best Gluten Free Philly Cheesesteak you’ve made.
