Ingredients
To make a Philly cheesesteak panini, you’ll need:
- Thinly Sliced Steak – ½ pound (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- Green Bell Pepper – 1, thinly sliced
- Onion – 1, thinly sliced
- Provolone Cheese – 4 slices (or cheese of your choice)
- Hoagie Rolls or Sourdough Bread – 4 slices
- Olive Oil – 2 tablespoons
- Butter – 2 tablespoons, softened
- Salt and Pepper – to taste
- Garlic Powder – ½ teaspoon (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the Steak
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Panini
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer the cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and slices of provolone cheese. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
4. Cook the Panini
Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the press and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a grill pan, press the sandwich down with a spatula or another heavy pan for even cooking.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the panini from the press and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a side of fries, chips, or a simple salad.
Tips for Success
- Use Quality Steak: Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin gives the best flavour and texture.
- Customize Your Cheese: While provolone is traditional, cheddar, American, or Swiss also work well.
- Toast the Bread Lightly: If you don’t have a panini press, use a skillet and press down with a heavy pan.
