    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    Recipe for One: this is a great go to recipe when there is just one or two people to feed.

    Classic sandwich: this sandwich is packed with beefy cheesy goodness, just like the original Philly Cheesesteak!

    Easy to customize: you can easily add your own favorite veggies or protein and make this sandwich your own.

    Ingredients for philly cheesesteak sandwiches.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ciabatta bread or rolls: you need a firm sturdy bread, something with a good crust but still chewy and spongy in the center to soak up any broth.

    Deli roast beef

    Red bell pepper

    Onion

    Fresh garlic

    Olive oil: to saute the veggies and garlic.

    Rice vinegar: this will just be a splash, it deglazes the pan and adds a touch of acid.

    Brown sugar: for just a touch of sweetness to balance out flavors.

    Velveeta: I highly recommend using velveeta or an american cheese that melts easily.

    Peppers and onions cooked in a skillet.
    Adding cheese and seasoning to peppers and onions.
    Cheese and veggie mixture in a skillet.
    Deli beef and beef broth.

    🔪 Instructions

    • Heat oil in small skillet. Cook peppers, onions, and garlic until vegetables are tender. 
    • Add vinegar, sugar, oregano, and cheese. Stir mixture and turn heat to simmer to let cheese slowly melt, stirring periodically. 
    • Once cheese is melted, remove from heat and set aside until ready to assemble sandwich.
    • Meanwhile, toast bread in toaster oven until golden.
    • Place roast beef and beef broth in microwave safe bowl. Microwave in two 30-second intervals. 
    • Using a fork, remove beef from broth and layer on bottom half of bun. Top beef with cheese pepper mixture and then cover with top bun half.

    🥄 Equipment

    Small skillet

    Chef knife

    Cutting board

    Toaster oven

    Cheesesteak sandwich without the top bun on a plate.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute turkey for the roast beef.
    • Use Monterey jack or colby jack cheese in place of velveeta.

    💭 Tips

    • If you don't have a toaster oven, toast the bread under the oven broiler or in the air fryer until golden.
    • Once the cheese is added to the skillet, keep the burner on low setting and melt the cheese slowly to prevent burning.
