– 1 cup shredded white American cheese
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1/2 cup beef broth
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add 1 thinly sliced large yellow onion and 1 thinly sliced large green bell pepper to the skillet.
4. Cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned.
5. Push the cooked vegetables to the side of the skillet.
6. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced ribeye steak to the empty space in the skillet.
7. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until it is no longer pink.
8. Tip: Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure the steak browns properly instead of steaming.
9. Combine the cooked steak and vegetables in the skillet.
10. Stir in 1/2 cup of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.
11. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
12. Remove the skillet from the heat.
13. In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
14. Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the final dip.
15. Fold the steak and vegetable mixture from the skillet into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
16. Transfer the combined mixture to a 9-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
17. Evenly top the mixture with 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese and 1 cup of shredded white American cheese.
18. Tip: A blend of provolone and white American cheese creates the classic, gooey Philly cheesesteak melt.
19. Bake the dip in the preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly around the edges.
20. Just out of the oven, the dip is gloriously gooey with tender steak and sweet peppers in every bite. The provolone adds a sharp tang that cuts through the rich cream cheese base. For a fun twist, scoop it into hollowed-out mini bread bowls or serve alongside crispy potato wedges.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of high-smoke-point vegetable oil to the hot skillet, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
3. Place the thinly sliced yellow onion and green bell pepper in the skillet in a single layer.
4. Cook the vegetables for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender-crisp.
5. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.

7. Season the thinly sliced ribeye steak evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
8. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

10. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until just cooked through but still juicy.
11. Return all cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak, tossing gently to combine.
12. Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly into four portions directly in the skillet.
13. Top each portion with 2 slices of mild provolone cheese.
14. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
15. While the cheese melts, toast the split hoagie rolls cut-side down in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
16. Use a spatula to transfer each cheesy steak portion onto the bottom halves of the toasted hoagie rolls.
17. Top with the remaining toasted roll halves, pressing down gently to secure.
Unbelievably juicy steak contrasts with the tender peppers and onions, all wrapped in a crisp-toasted roll. The melted provolone adds a creamy, salty richness that ties everything together. For a fun twist, serve these sandwiches with a side of garlic aioli for dipping or top with pickled jalapeños for extra heat.
Philly Cheesesteak Meatballs
Just when you thought Philly cheesesteak couldn’t get any better, these meatballs deliver all that iconic flavor in a fun, shareable form. Juicy ground beef gets packed with classic cheesesteak ingredients, then baked and smothered in a creamy cheese sauce for the ultimate comfort food. They’re perfect for game day, parties, or a satisfying weeknight dinner.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 pound of high-quality 80/20 ground beef
– 1 cup of finely diced sweet yellow onion
– 1 cup of finely diced green bell pepper
– 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
– 1 large farm-fresh egg, lightly beaten
– 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
– 1 tablespoon of rich extra virgin olive oil
– 8 slices of thinly sliced provolone cheese
– 1/4 cup of whole milk
– 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the high-quality 80/20 ground beef, finely diced sweet yellow onion, finely diced green bell pepper, minced fresh garlic, seasoned Italian breadcrumbs, lightly beaten large farm-fresh egg, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Mix the ingredients with your hands just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat, which keeps the meatballs tender.
4. Form the mixture into 16 evenly sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Drizzle the rich extra virgin olive oil over the meatballs and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are browned on the outside.
6. While the meatballs bake, prepare the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
7. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly and golden to create a roux, which prevents a floury taste in the sauce.
8. Slowly whisk in the whole milk and garlic powder, cooking for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
9. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 4 slices of thinly sliced provolone cheese until fully melted and smooth.
10. Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to a serving dish and top immediately with the remaining 4 slices of thinly sliced provolone cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt them slightly.
11. Pour the warm cheese sauce over the meatballs just before serving.
Mouthwatering and packed with savory flavor, these meatballs boast a juicy interior and a slightly crisp exterior from baking. The creamy, tangy provolone sauce clings perfectly to each bite, echoing the classic cheesesteak experience. Serve them piled high on hoagie rolls, over creamy mashed potatoes, or with toothpicks for an easy appetizer that disappears fast.

6. Combine the cooked steak with the vegetables in the skillet; remove from heat and let cool slightly for 5 minutes.
7. Divide the room-temperature pizza dough into 4 equal portions on a lightly floured surface.

9. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese in the center of each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border.
10. Top the cheese with an equal amount of the steak and vegetable mixture, dividing it evenly among the 4 calzones.
11. Fold each dough circle over the filling to form a half-moon shape; press the edges firmly to seal.

13. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
14. Brush the tops of each calzone with the beaten egg wash using a pastry brush.
15. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the brushed calzones.
16. Cut 3 small slits in the top of each calzone with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
17. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is deeply golden brown and crisp.
18. Let the calzones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Cheesy, meaty filling oozes from a crisp, flaky crust with every bite. For a fun twist, serve these calzones with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping, or slice them into strips for easy sharing at parties.
Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese
This Philly cheesesteak grilled cheese transforms two classics into one irresistible sandwich. Thinly sliced ribeye steak gets seared with peppers and onions, then layered with provolone between buttery toasted bread. The result is a hearty, melty meal that satisfies cheesesteak cravings with grilled cheese comfort.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 1/2 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
– 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper
– 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
– 4 slices provolone cheese
– 4 slices sourdough bread
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
2. Add thinly sliced green bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet; cook until softened and lightly charred, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet; add thinly sliced ribeye steak to the empty side.
4. Sprinkle garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper over the steak; cook undisturbed for 1 minute to develop a sear.
5. Flip steak pieces and stir everything together; cook until steak is no longer pink, 1-2 more minutes. Tip: Freezing the steak for 20 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut paper-thin.
6. Remove skillet from heat; transfer steak and vegetable mixture to a plate.
7. Spread softened salted butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
8. Place two bread slices buttered-side down in the cleaned skillet over medium heat.
9. Layer one slice of provolone cheese, half the steak mixture, another slice of provolone cheese, then top with remaining bread slices buttered-side up.
10. Cook until bottom bread is golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Tip: Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and cheese melting.
11. Carefully flip sandwiches using a wide spatula; cook until second side is golden brown and cheese is fully melted, 3-4 more minutes. Tip: Cover the skillet briefly to help the cheese melt faster without burning the bread.
12. Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board; let rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally.
You’ll get a satisfying crunch from the toasted sourdough giving way to tender, juicy steak and melted provolone. The peppers and onions add sweet, caramelized notes that balance the rich beef. Try dipping sandwich halves in a side of au jus or marinara sauce for extra flavor.
