Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak

Gordon Ramsay Philly Cheesesteak

Gordon Ramsay’s Philly Cheesesteak is an elevated version of the classic American sandwich, using high-quality ribeye steak, caramelized onions, bell peppers, and a mix of provolone and cheddar cheese for a rich and creamy texture. His version also focuses on searing the steak properly to lock in flavor while keeping it juicy.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb ribeye steak (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for added depth)

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • ½ red bell pepper (thinly sliced, optional)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce (for extra umami flavor)

For the Cheese Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
  • ½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • ¼ tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth of flavor)

For Assembly:

  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
  • 1 tbsp butter (for toasting rolls)
  • Extra provolone slices (optional, for layering)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Steak

  1. Freeze the ribeye for 15 minutes – This makes it easier to slice thinly.
  2. Slice against the grain – Cut the steak into paper-thin slices for the best texture.
  3. Season the steak – Toss the slices with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2: Sauté the Onions and Peppers

  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and bell peppers and sauté for 6-7 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Add minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for another 30 seconds.
  4. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sear the Steak

  1. Heat olive oil in the same skillet over high heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced steak, spreading it out in a single layer.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until browned but still juicy.
  4. Mix the steak with the onions and peppers in the pan.

Step 4: Make the Cheese Sauce

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
  3. Slowly add warm milk, whisking until smooth.
  4. Melt in shredded provolone and white cheddar, stirring continuously.
  5. Whisk in Dijon mustard for extra depth.

Step 5: Toast the Hoagie Rolls

  1. Split the hoagie rolls and spread with butter.
  2. Toast on a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Assemble the Philly Cheesesteak

  1. Place a generous portion of steak and veggie mixture onto each toasted hoagie roll.
  2. Drizzle with the cheese sauce (or layer extra provolone slices on top).
  3. Serve hot and enjoy!
