Ingredients for Philly Cheesesteak on Blackstone

• Hoagie rolls – Check the bakery of your local grocery store for freshly baked hoagie rolls.
• Thinly sliced steak – Ribeye is the most popular cut to use in philly cheesesteaks. However, you can use any kind of steak as long as you slice it thinly!
• Provolone cheese – You can use other cheese if you prefer, but provolone cheese will give your cheesesteak the classic flavor you know and love!
• Butter – Salted and unsalted butter will both work fine in this tasty recipe.
• Olive oil – Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sauté the veggies. You can use all butter or all olive oil if you don’t want a combination.
• Mayonnaise – Even if you’re not a fan of mayo, give it a shot on a Philly cheesesteak! The added creaminess is super tasty.
• Beef seasoning – Our Gimme Some Grilling beef seasoning is the perfect Philly cheese steak seasoning. If you don’t have that, your favorite beef seasoning or this homemade steak seasoning (brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder) will work great as well!
• Onion – Sliced white onion or yellow onion will both have a good flavor for Philly cheesesteak!
• Green peppers – Sliced green bell peppers are have the perfect sweet-bitter balance, so I recommend only using that or red bell pepper if you are in a pinch.

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak on Blackstone Grill

1. Preheat your Blackstone grill to a medium high heat, around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place butter and olive oil in the middle of the Blackstone and then spread it around so it all melts well.
3. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the heated griddle, on top of the butter and oil. Coat them well and then sauté for 3-5 minutes until onions become tender. You can cook a little longer to caramelize the onions if you like that!
4. Move the onions and peppers to the cooler side of the Blackstone.
5. Then, place the sliced steak in the center of the griddle and spread it out into a thin layer. Season the steak well with beef seasoning.
6. Allow it to sear for 3-5 minutes, then flip each piece and continue to cook until all of the steak is cooked through.
7. Spread a thin layer of mayo onto each hoagie roll and then place them face down on the cooler side of the Blackstone to lightly toast. Toast for 2-3 minutes, then set them on a cool pan or platter.
8. Evenly divide the steak into 4 portions on the griddle and top with peppers and onions. Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of each pile and let the cheese melt.
9. Using a metal spatula, scoop each pile onto a hoagie roll.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

How to store Leftover Philly Cheesesteak

For best results, store the meat and veggies separately from the hoagie rolls. If you anticipate you’ll have leftovers, only build the number of sandwiches you need so that the hoagie buns don’t get soggy and you can store a fresh roll.

FRIDGE: Place the meat and veggie mixture from Philly cheesesteak on the Blackstone in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FREEZER: Place Philly cheesesteak meat and veggies into an airtight container or freezer safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.

How to Reheat Leftover Philly Cheesesteak

To reheat, place on a preheated Blackstone, stove top, or in the oven until warmed through.

What cut of steak is best for Philly cheesesteak?

If you can get shaved ribeye from the butcher, it is traditionally the best for a Philly cheesesteak. However, there are other more affordable cuts of meat you can buy and slice at home. You should have good results using flank steak or strip steak. Sirloin steak would also be a good substitute to choose as a replacement for ribeye, it’s actually what we used!

Do i have to use oil on the Blackstone?

Yes! Oil (and butter in this recipe) will add a protective layer of grease to the porous surface of the flat top grill. Over time, it will be nice and seasoned!

This is best the homemade Philly cheesesteak you’ll ever have, and it’s so easy! Dinner time just got an upgrade that everyone will love!

Equipment

• Blackstone Griddle

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 ½ pounds steak thinly sliced
• ▢ ½ onion thinly sliced
• ▢ 1 green pepper thinly sliced
• ▢ 2 teaspoons beef seasoning
• ▢ 8 Slices Provolone cheese
• ▢ 4 hoagie rolls
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons butter
• ▢ 6 Tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

• Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Add the oil and butter to the middle of the griddle. Spread it around so that it can melt.
• Add the onions and peppers to the griddle. Toss them to coat them in the oil and butter. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onions are cooked to your preference.
• Move the onions and peppers to a cooler side of the griddle.
• Add the steak to the center of the griddle. Spread it out to a thin layer. Season with the Beef Seasoning. Let the steak sear for 3-5 minutes until the juices start to flow. Flip and continue cooking the steak until it is cooked through (2-3 more minutes).
• Spread the mayonnaise on the hoagie rolls. Place hoagie rolls face down on the cooler side of the griddle so that they will toast slightly. Watch closely so that the rolls do not burn. Toast for 2-3 minutes Take the hoagie rolls off the griddle when toasted and put on a pan.
• Then divide the steak into 4 equal piles on the griddle and top each pile with the pepper and onion mixture. Immediately top each pile with 2 slices of cheese and let the cheese melt (1-2 minutes).
• Use your spatula to scoop and lift each pile and place the mixture onto one of the toasted hoagie rolls.
• Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Tips

• We used thinly sliced sirloin for these cheesesteak but you can easily use thinly sliced round steak or ribeye steak as well.
• We used avocado oil but you can easily use vegetable oil, canola oil or coconut oil instead of olive oil.
• These are best served immediately while warm but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container separate from the hoagies for up to 3-4 days.
