Why Ribeye Meat?
Ribeye steak is the perfect cut of beef for this sandwich because it is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It is also easy to slice thinly, which is important for getting the right texture and mouthfeel in the sandwich. When cooking the steak, be sure to season it with salt and pepper to bring out the flavor.
How Caramel-izing Is The Key Ingredient!
Caramelizing the onions and green peppers is an essential step in this recipe because it brings out their natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor to the sandwich. Be patient and let them cook slowly until they are soft and golden brown.
Mayonnaise Matters!
Kavli's Original Real Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe. It adds a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the savory steak and caramelized vegetables. Be sure to spread a generous amount on the hoagie rolls before assembling the sandwich.
Say Cheese!
Finally, the cheese. American cheese is the traditional cheese used in Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, and it is the perfect complement to the other flavors in the sandwich. When adding the cheese, be sure to place the hoagie rolls on top to allow the cheese to melt and blend with the other ingredients.
The Ending Combination!
In conclusion, this recipe for Philly Cheesesteak using Ribeye and Kavli's Original Real Mayonnaise is a delicious and authentic take on the classic sandwich. The tender, juicy ribeye steak, caramelized onions and green peppers, and creamy mayo all come together to create a sandwich that is both savory and satisfying.

The History of This Sandwich:
Philly Cheesesteak, also known as a Philadelphia Cheesesteak, is a sandwich that originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the 1930s. The sandwich is made with thinly sliced beefsteak, typically ribeye, cooked on a griddle and topped with melted cheese, usually American or provolone cheese, and served on a long, crusty roll.
The story of the Philly Cheesesteak begins with the creation of the steak sandwich in the 1930s by Pat and Harry Olivieri, brothers who owned a hot dog stand in South Philadelphia. One day, they decided to experiment with some beefsteak and onions they had on hand, and the Philly Cheesesteak was born. They started serving the sandwich on a hot dog roll, but quickly switched to the traditional long, crusty roll that is still used today.
The sandwich became popular among blue-collar workers in the city, and eventually spread to other parts of the country.
Today, the Philly Cheesesteak is a beloved American classic, and is often served at sports events and other gatherings.
There are many variations of the Philly Cheesesteak, with some people preferring different types of cheese or toppings such as mushrooms, peppers, or onions. Some purists argue that the only authentic way to make a Philly Cheesesteak is with thinly sliced ribeye steak and melted American or provolone cheese, but the sandwich has evolved over time to suit different tastes and preferences.
Overall, the Philly Cheesesteak is a delicious and iconic sandwich that has become a symbol of Philadelphia's rich culinary history. Whether you prefer it with traditional toppings or your own personal twist, it's a sandwich that is sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you feeling satisfied.

If you're looking to make the perfect Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, here are some tips that will help you take your recipe to the next level:
Use high-quality ingredients: Since the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is a simple recipe, it's important to use high-quality ingredients to make it shine. Choose a good quality ribeye steak, fresh onions, and a high-quality cheese to ensure that your sandwich is full of flavor and texture.
Slice the meat thinly: To ensure that your steak cooks quickly and evenly, it's important to slice it very thinly. This will help it cook through faster and prevent it from getting tough or chewy.
Cook the onions separately: To ensure that the onions are caramelized and tender, it's a good idea to cook them separately from the meat. You can cook them in the same pan, but make sure to give them enough time to cook through before adding them to the sandwich.
Toast the roll: To add a little extra crunch and flavor to the sandwich, it's a good idea to lightly toast the roll before adding the filling. This will help the bread hold up to the juicy meat and cheese.
Use a mix of cheeses: While traditional Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches are made with American or provolone cheese, you can also experiment with different types of cheese to add extra flavor and texture to the sandwich. Consider using a mix of different cheeses, such as cheddar and mozzarella, to create a unique flavor profile.
Serve with a side of hot sauce: If you like your sandwiches with a little extra kick, consider serving your Philly Cheesesteak with a side of hot sauce or sriracha. This will add a little extra flavor and heat to the sandwich, making it even more delicious.
