The Philly cheesesteak is an iconic sandwich with a loyal following, and for good reason—it’s the ultimate comfort food, with tender beef, caramelized onions, and melty cheese all tucked into a soft hoagie roll. Created in the 1930s in Philadelphia, it’s been a local favorite ever since, with purists insisting on ribeye or sirloin, and cheese options ranging from provolone to American or even Cheez Whiz, depending on who you ask. No matter the variation, the magic of a great Philly cheesesteak recipe lies in the way the savory meat and gooey cheese meld together into every bite.
