Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

Imagine a tender smoked steaked, vegetables and melty cheese on a toasted bun! You are imagining my take on the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich that I made on my pellet grill. It was so delicious and easy. Just make sure to grab your cast iron skillet and smoker, plus the ingredients and you’ll have this for a quick dinner!

These are always a hit when I prepare them for dinner, plus I love the fact that they are super easy. Always a win right? I’ll even make these when we have people over for football games, parties etc. Can you believe that tailgating is right around the corner?

The Philadelphia Cheese Steak originated in …. Philadelphia! 😀 That’s no surprise, right? But here’s how it got its humble start.

A couple that owned a food cart are credited with creating this sandwich back in 1930 – and boy are we happy they did! Tender smoked steak and vegetables topped with melty cheese on a toasted bun is the perfect combination for an easy weeknight meal!

First things first, let’s start with…

What cut of meat is best for Philly Cheese Steak?

Traditionally the sandwich uses rib-eye steak, though top round and skirt steak are often popular choices!

What kind of cheese goes on a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich?

This is often debated, some swear by provolone, others recommend cheese whiz or American cheese. I’d love to hear, what is your favorite?

What kind of bread is used for a Philly Cheese Steak?

You’ll want to use a soft on-the-inside, crusty-on-the-out bread like sub buns or a hoagie roll. The bread needs to be hearty enough to hold all this delicious smoked meat and vegetables!
