There is something SO satisfying about ahot sandwich packed with cheese, steak, and veggies.I incorporated a few easy hacks into this recipe to cut down the prep time so you can enjoy the savory sandwich with ease.

That way, the next time you have steaks leftover, you just have to slice and heat the steak to prep the sandwiches, rather than cooking up the whole thing from scratch.This saves you at least 20 minutes, and it’s just as tasty! Plus, I buy store-bought queso to glue the steak, peppers, and onions all together, which is another no-fuss, time-saving must.

Recipe FAQs

What goes with cheese steak sandwiches?

Cheese steak sandwiches are a comfort food, through and through. I love good, old-fashioned French fries, potato salad, or onion rings with them, or you could always opt for a simple side salad of lettuce, tomato, onion, and cucumber with a vinaigrette dressing for a lighter choice.

Where did cheese steak originate from?

Cheese steak hails from Philadelphia (hence the “Philly cheese steak” we all know and love) in the early 20th century. It all started at a hot dog stand in 1930, when one of the owners wanted to try a new sandwich rendition of chopped beef and grilled onions on an Italian roll. A cab driver saw him eating it and requested one for himself, and it spread like wildfire. (Source.)

How do you reheat cheese steak?

If it’s possible that you have leftovers (though, we’ve never witnessed it), store the sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Unwrap and place the sandwich on a baking sheet to reheat in a 350-degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.
