How to Make Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone or cheese of choice
- 4 hoagie rolls
Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it gets nice and hot. This is key for that beautiful sear on your steak!
Step 2: Sautéing the Veggies
Add olive oil to the grill and toss in the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and fragrant. Stir them occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3: Cooking the Steak
Push the onions and peppers to the side of the grill. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and season it generously with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking.
Step 4: Finishing
Mix the cooked steak with the sautéed onions and peppers, allowing the flavors to meld together. Place the slices of provolone cheese on top of the meat mixture and cover for a minute or two until the cheese is lovely and melted. Finally, divide the cheesy steak mixture onto your hoagie rolls and serve hot!
How to Serve Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
Serve your Blackstone Philly cheesesteaks with a side of crispy fries, potato chips, or a fresh garden salad. For an extra kick, consider adding hot peppers or your favorite condiment, like ketchup or spicy mayo. These sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately when they are warm and gooey.
How to Store Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave or on the grill for a few minutes until heated through. Avoid freezing the assembled sandwiches, as the bread may become soggy. However, you can freeze the cooked steak mixture separately and then assemble fresh sandwiches later.
Expert Tips for Perfect Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
- Opt for fresh, high-quality ribeye steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
