Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lbs beef steak thinly sliced I use sirloin, see notes for other options
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green bell peppers thinly sliced
- 2 cups thin sliced button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp dry onion soup mix such as Lipton or homemade
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 5-6 slices provolone cheese see notes for other options
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350℉. Heat oil in a large oven safe skillet to medium high heat and add beef, onion soup mix, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes. There should still be some pink on the meat. Transfer beef to a plate leaving behind 2 tablespoons of grease.
- Add veggies to the hot pan and cook until softened and mushrooms are starting to brown. Stir in cream cheese, beef broth, Worcestershire, and garlic powder.
- Once the cream cheese is melted add the beef and its juice’s back to the pan and stir to combine. Top with provolone cheese and bake in the oven for 15-minutes. Top with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Tips:
Best steak for Philly cheesesteak- Ribeye is the original choice for Philly cheesesteak sandwiches but other meats that work great are sirloin, flank steak, filet mignon, and skirt steak. When cut thin and against the grain, the meat will come out soft and tender.
If I don't have an oven safe skillet- Transfer beef and veggies to a 9×13 inch casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake as directed in oven.
Other tips-
- Be careful not to overcook the beef. It should still be pink after the first cooking time. This will ensure the most tender Philly cheesesteak.
- Use softened cream cheese to melt faster.
- Add other cheese like pepper Jack, or Monterey Jack.
