I'm sure this is delicious, however, this is not an authentic recipe for a Philly Cheese Steak. It's no more "Philly" than saying Dominos is an authentic representation of Italian pizza. An authentic Philly Cheese Steak is far simpler. Just super thin sliced rib eye/round eye steak, an Amoroso Roll, soya oil (that's what Pat's King of Steak uses, the originator of the steak), and cheese wiz/provalone. Sauteed onions are an option. BTW, adding swiss cheese to a "Philly" Cheese Steak is like wearing a Cowboys jersey to an Eagles game, especially if it's an Owens jersey. -Yo Adrian!!!!

1) Steak should be thinly shaved ribeye.2) Never, and I say NEVER, use Swiss cheese on a Philly cheesesteak! Acceptable cheeses include Provolone, smoked Provolone, and/or Cheez Whiz. Replace the hoagie roll with quartered steamed tortillas in this recipe and you have Fajitas... with Swiss cheese. Yuck.

This recipe is soooo good! I made it with chicken breast rather than beef. Then followed the recipe as written.

Great recipe. I was surprised at the 3 tbsp of olive oil, but actually wound up using more. I used a whole onion, because why not, every recipe I saw for this had onion, so I couldn't go really wrong. Had a bag of frozen green and yellow pepper, and canned mushrooms, and the steak was previously grilled: two strip steaks. Bobby Flay's site said to freeze the steaks for 35 min or so to make them easier to cut, but since these were previously cooked, I skipped that advice, your recipe is more right to the point too. The steaks also had Montreal Steak Seasoning on them, but I put in all the other spices except more salt. They went on hot dog rolls, with Provolone and a bit of white American cheese on top to glue it together, and I ran out of Provolone. I had not planned ahead for ingredients, but made do, and the sandwiches were excellent. Thanks for the recipe! Mmm Mm Mmm.

I love this recipe, combined with a garlic aioli sauce. The only thing I do different is I broil the peppers and onions in the oven, just enough that they start to sear but stay somewhat crisp! my family likes different amount of peppers so we add them to the sandwich on top of the meat.
