Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin recommended for tenderness)
- 2 bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Final Toppings
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: If your beef isn’t pre-sliced, slice it into thin strips to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic to add aromatic depth.
- Combine ingredients in the crockpot: Place the sliced beef, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot evenly.
- Add liquids and seasoning: Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the beef and veggies, then sprinkle black pepper and salt to taste.
- Slow cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and flavors are well blended.
- Melt the cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, lay the provolone cheese slices on top of the mixture and cover to let it melt thoroughly.
- Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture onto hoagie rolls or your choice of bread and enjoy your Philly cheesesteak.
Notes
- Use ribeye for the most tender and flavorful beef experience.
- Feel free to choose bell pepper colors based on your preference or what’s on hand.
- For a deeper flavor, sear the beef briefly before adding to the crockpot, though this step is optional.
- Serve with hoagie rolls to replicate the traditional sandwich style.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheated gently to retain moisture.
