Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper, then quickly cook until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell pepper until tender. This builds layers of flavor essential for an authentic Philly cheesesteak taste.
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until potatoes are soft—about 15 minutes.
- Add the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables into the pot. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk or heavy cream. Continue stirring until the cheese melts, creating a creamy, cheesy broth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality steak for best flavor.
- For a creamier texture, add more heavy cream or milk.
- You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
- Garnish with extra cheese or parsley before serving for added flavor.
