Description

This Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak recipe offers a delicious, hands-off way to enjoy the classic sandwich. Tender flank steak or ribeye is seared and then slow-cooked with onions, bell peppers, and savory seasonings. Served on hoagie rolls with melted provolone cheese, these hearty sandwiches are perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 lbs flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Bread and Cheese

  • 8 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (or American cheese)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak or ribeye and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  2. Prepare Crock Pot Ingredients: Transfer the seared steak to the Crock Pot. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper if using, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together to combine well, then cover the Crock Pot with the lid.
  4. Slow Cook: Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and fully cooked, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, use tongs to stir and break up the meat into bite-sized pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed to your preference.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Scoop a generous amount of the meat mixture onto hoagie rolls and top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Melt the cheese under a broiler or microwave if desired for a gooey finish.
  7. Serve: Serve the sandwiches hot and enjoy the classic Philly Cheesesteak experience made easy with the Crock Pot.

Notes

  • Searing the steak before slow cooking adds extra depth of flavor to the dish.
  • The bell pepper is optional; you can omit it if you prefer a more traditional Philly cheesesteak.
  • If you want to save time, you can slice the steak and vegetables ahead of time.
  • Using a broiler to melt the cheese gives a nice bubbly and golden finish, but the microwave works fine for convenience.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
