- 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 of the two.

Helpful Tools
How to Make Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
- Preheat your Blackstone grill to a medium high heat, around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place butter and olive oil in the middle of the Blackstone and then spread it around so it all melts well.
- 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!
- Move the onions and peppers to the cooler side of the Blackstone.
- 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.
- Allow it to sear for 3-5 minutes, then flip each piece and continue to cook until all of the steak is cooked through.
- 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.
- Evenly divide the steak into 4 piles 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.

- 2 Tablespoons butter

Equipment
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.

- 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.
- These are best served immediately while warm but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
