🥘Ingredients

For the Beef

2 pounds beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Vegetables

2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Sandwiches

1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
6 hoagie rolls, split
6 slices provolone cheese

👨‍🍳Directions

1Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the beef slices with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brown the beef in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to the slow cooker.
2In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker.
3Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir everything together gently.
4Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is very tender and shreds easily.
5About 15 minutes before serving, preheat your oven broiler. Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet and toast them lightly under the broiler.
6Using a slotted spoon, pile the beef and vegetable mixture onto the toasted rolls. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese. Return to the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crock Pot Philly Cheese Steak

1. Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use chuck roast or top round. Just make sure to slice it thinly against the grain for the best texture. The slow cooking will make any tougher cut very tender.

2. Do I need to brown the beef before putting it in the crock pot?

Browning the beef adds a lot of flavor from the caramelization, but it is not strictly necessary. If you are short on time, you can skip this step, but the final dish will have less depth of flavor.

3. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can cook the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker, then refrigerate the mixture for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve, just reheat it on the stove or in the microwave and assemble the sandwiches.

4. What kind of cheese is best for a Philly cheese steak?

Provolone is a classic choice and melts beautifully. Cheez Whiz is also very popular for an authentic taste. Mozzarella or white American cheese work well too.

5. Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?

Sure. Mushrooms are a common addition. You can also add sliced jalapenos for some heat or use red bell peppers for a sweeter flavor. Just add them with the onions and peppers.
