What is a Philly Cheesesteak?
The Philly Cheesesteak is a sandwich made with ultra-thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and provolone cheese. This straightforward combination is the original classic that gained popularity on the East Coast. While the West Coast version often includes bell peppers and mushrooms, but a true “Philly” consists solely of steak, onions, and cheese served on a roll.
