What is a Cheesesteak Sandwich?
A cheesesteak is a sandwich made of thinly sliced, well-seasoned beef that has been quickly cooked so that every bite is mouthwatering and tender. Along with the beef, a cheesesteak usually includes caramelized onions and peppers. You can also include mushrooms and other types and colors of peppers if you’d like. Cheesesteaks include lots of cheese. Some have a provolone sauce that is poured over the top of the sandwich, and others use slices of provolone cheese to top their sandwiches. We opt for the quick and easy option of using sliced provolone cheese on our cheesesteaks, but I’ve included information on how to make the provolone sauce if you prefer it.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Steak. Start by thinly slicing your sirloin steak. (You can have the butcher do this for you if you prefer). Sprinkle with Stone House Seasoning and refrigerate for at least an hour for the beef to marinate. You can store the beef in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if you are meal prepping. Slice the vegetables. Thinly slice your onions and peppers. If you are prepping ahead, slice and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days as well. Cook the onions and peppers. When ready to cook the cheesesteaks, drizzle olive oil into a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until caramelized and tender, about 15 minutes. Cook the beef. Remove the onion and peppers from the skillet and drizzle in a bit more olive oil. Then, add the beef, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook the steak for about 5 minutes, flipping once to make sure that both sides are browned. Remove the beef from the skillet. Assemble the sandwiches. Layer the caramelized onion and peppers into the bottom of the hoagie rolls, then add the beef and top with cheese and serve.
How to Make Provolone Sauce
If you prefer to use a melted provolone sauce instead of using slices of provolone cheese, here is how you make it.
1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 3/4 cup milk 1 cup grated provolone cheese 1/2 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
Melt butter in a medium sauce pan. Whisk in the flour and cook until the flour is well-combined and cooks to a light brown color, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the milk and cook until thickened, stir in the provolone cheese and cook until melted. Remove from heat and spoon over cheesesteaks as desired.
