Make your own mouthwatering version of the classic Philly cheesesteak recipe using the Instant Pot. A healthy weeknight dinner ready in just about 30 minutes!

Melted provolone cheese, thinly sliced beef cooked to perfection, and sauteed peppers and onions, all served on a soft hoagie roll… sounds like something you’d grab from a local food truck, doesn’t it? If you don’t recognize the ingredients, I’m describing the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich that was developed in, of course, Philadelphia.

Grabbing a Philly cheesesteak from a food truck or restaurant might make for a fun outing, but sometimes it’s easier (and let’s be honest, cheaper) to create classic recipes at home. You know exactly what’s in it, and you get to serve it exactly how you want it. (A little more provolone cheese? No problem. A little less beef? You got it.)

And when you can make something at home that looks this good (and tastes amazing), why even bother with eating out? When you bite into one of these Philly cheesesteaks, you’ll realize you definitely made the right decision.

How to Make This Philly Cheesesteak Recipe, Step by Step

Step 1. Begin by thinly slicing your beef. Better yet, ask the butcher to do it for you! Most butchers will thinly slice beef for free if you ask.

(Awesome cheesesteak recipe tip: If you slice your beef at home, freeze it before you slice it. This will allow you to thinly slice it with ease!)

Step 2. Sauté onion and green bell pepper in the Instant Pot (using sauté mode).

Step 3. Add the beef strips to the Instant Pot and brown them slightly. Do not cook them completely!

Step 4. Add 1/2 cup water, put on the lid, and cook on high for five minutes. When the pressure cycle is complete, do a quick release.

Step 5. Put the Instant Pot back on sauté mode and cook down the remaining liquid.

Step 6. Serve on rolls topped with sliced provolone cheese. Dig in and enjoy!

What kind of Philly Cheesesteak meat?

If you’re wondering what kind of Philly cheesesteak meat to use, Philly cheesesteaks aren’t always made with the same kind of meat. Philly cheesesteak meat choices include ribeye (arguably the most popular), top round, or skirt steak.
