Need a quick dinner ready in little time?!? Need it to be low carb? Gluten free? Oh, but also please a picky 4-year-old?

I've got you covered! This cheesesteak skillet is simple, tasty, and very easy to customize! You want it served on a toasted roll with tomato sauce? Great! Oh, you'd rather make a low-carb salad? No problem! And, Johnny only likes red peppers on Tuesdays after 3pm...you got it!

And, with a one skillet meal- clean up is a breeze!

If you're from the Philly area (like me!), then you know that it is only a PHILLY cheesesteak if there is Cheez Whiz on top. Not quite my thing...but feel free to go authentic.

What cut of meat is best for cheesesteak?

The best cuts are skirt, flank, or flat-iron steak. Each is a long, flat portion of beef. Flat-iron would be the most tender. Flank steak is the leanest. And skirt steak lies somewhere in-between. Each of these can be thinly sliced and sautéed with peppers and onions to create tender cheesesteak. Cuts with more marbling, AKA fat, will provide more flavor.

 

How to Serve Philly Cheesesteak Skillet

In the most traditional sense, Philly cheesesteak is usually topped with provolone or Cheez Whiz and maybe a few onions. That's it! Other toppings may be common (and delicious!), but the mouth-watering PA classic is simple comfort food at its' finest.

 

Is cheesesteak considered a sandwich???

According to the good old Oxford, cheesesteak is a sandwich! A sandwich is defined as, "an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal." Unless you want to argue that a roll is not the same thing as two pieces of bread... I say yes, they are one and the same.

Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • 1 lb. steak, thinly sliced (flank, flat-iron, or skirt)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 tsp. coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 2-3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c. cheese, shredded
Instructions
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with about 1 Tbsp. of oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Next, add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes on each side until brown. Once the steak has browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and 1-2 tsp. of coconut aminos. Next, add the peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
  • Add the steak back to the skillet and carefully stir until everything is well combined. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.
