Fun Background
Philadelphia’s famous cheesesteak was born as street food My take brings all those classic flavors together faster and with a lot less work but every bit as satisfying
Common Recipe Questions
- → Which veggies bring that authentic Philly vibe?
Mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions give these sandwiches the classic flavors (and make them more filling too).
- → Can I swap the cheese?
Provolone melts great, but go for mozzarella or white American if that’s what you have on hand—they taste awesome too.
- → What stops the buns from getting soggy?
Give your brioche buns a good toasting before you pile on the filling. That makes them sturdier and soaks up less juice.
- → Should I pick lean ground beef?
Lean beef's a good call if you don’t want lots of grease. If you use fattier beef, just pour off most of the fat once it’s cooked.
- → What should I serve with these?
Crispy fries, tangy slaw, or a simple salad are all super tasty alongside these sandwiches.
- → Can leftovers be warmed up?
Yep! Just reheat the beef mix gently on the stove or microwave, then tuck into more toasted buns and enjoy.
