The most INSANE Philly Cheesesteak Skillet ready in 15 minutes in one skillet. This recipe is a healthier version of one of my personal favorite foods and you can enjoy it on top of a salad or on your favorite toasted bread.
I was obsessed with Philly Cheesesteaks growing up. Like beyond addicted to them. But what is there not to love? You have bread + steak + cheese and it is complete heaven.
When Jord and I were in college, we would drive to Philly (less than an hour from our school) and pick up cheesesteaks and drive back. I used to make them all the time growing up at home using some gross processed “cheesesteak” meat but damn did it taste good!
This recipe is going to be such a hit in your home, I cannot wait for you guys to try it. It is ready in just 15 minutes and is so flavorful and tender and delicious. I used some extra sirloin steaks we had from our last meat order. Our favorite steak to grill and eat is ribeye so with sirloins, I love to switch things up and make recipes like these.
This dish can be enjoyed straight from the skillet, on top of a salad or on your favorite bread. I actually forgot to get rolls when I was making this and ended up using toasted sourdough and it was perfect.
