Philly Steak Sandwich
A savory Philly Steak Sandwich featuring tender roast beef, melted provolone, and a flavorful horseradish mayonnaise, perfect for a hearty lunch or casual dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, combine roast beef, sliced onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the roast beef begins to wrinkle and the onions are tender.
- In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise and creamy horseradish.
- Place the cooked meat and onions on a hoagie roll, top with sliced provolone cheese.
- Microwave the assembled sandwich for about 15 seconds until the cheese melts.
- Spread the horseradish mayonnaise on the roll or serve on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms to the mixture. If you want a spicier kick, try using pepper jack cheese instead of provolone. You can also substitute the roast beef with leftover Zesty Pot Roast for a unique twist. Make sure to slice the onion thinly for even cooking and sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Philly Steak Sandwich with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. For a classic touch, pair it with pickles or coleslaw. This sandwich also goes well with Diane'S Pot Roast for a comforting dinner spread. Consider offering extra creamy horseradish on the side for those who enjoy a bit more heat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwich in a microwave for 20-30 seconds or use a skillet on low heat for a few minutes to avoid making the bread soggy. You can also wrap it in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While provolone is traditional, feel free to experiment with cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack for added flavor. Just ensure the cheese melts well to create that gooey texture.
What type of bread is best for a Philly Steak Sandwich?
A hoagie roll or sub sandwich bread works best for this recipe due to its sturdy structure, which holds up well against the filling. You can also use soft Italian bread or a baguette for a different texture.
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the beef and onion mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply reheat the mixture and assemble the sandwich. However, it's best to add the mayonnaise mixture just before serving to keep it fresh.
