Here is the ingredient list we used for this Philly Cheesesteak Blackstone Grill recipe.

Shaved steak You can use shaved ribeye or other cuts of been that are shaved thin. The idea is to ensure it is thin meat to give it the right texture.

Vegetables– we used bell peppers, onion, and sliced mushrooms. The mushrooms are optional but our husband loves them.

Provolone Cheese – We used sliced provolone cheese, but you can use Swiss, Cheez-Whiz, or another variety of cheese.

Hoagie Rolls – Grab any hoagie rolls to pile in the steak and veggies. We used a whole wheat hoagie.

Butter – The butter helps add flavor to the meat and vegetables. We also added extra butter to help roast the buns.

Oil – You will want to add a little oil to help sear meat and veggies and prevent any sticking.

Seasonings – Salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce are all we used to flavor the dish.

Tips for Success

• Let your Blackstone Griddle get nice and hot so when you toss down the meat and veggies it sears nicely.
• Thinly slice veggies so they have time to soften and create a golden grilled texture.
• We waited till the meat and vegetables were done. Then we added cheese on top and began roasting our buns.
• You can place a dome over meat and cheese if you want it to melt faster on the cheese steak Philly’s.

How to Make

Full directions on this Blackstone Philly cheesesteak recipe are in the printable recipe card. This is a visual walk through on how to make the Philadelphia cheesesteaks.

Step One: Get your Blackstone flattop nice and hot, we did the high heat. We added a little oil to help create a non-stick surface.

Step Two: Toss down your shaved meat, sliced peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Add a tablespoon of butter down to help flavor the meat and veggies.

Step Three: Next you will sprinkle on the seasonings. Then pour over the Worcestershire sauce, and then stir well.

Step Four: Allow the mixture to sear, tossing every few minutes. You want to cook the steak fully, and get a nice golden sear on meat and veggies. Add on your provolone cheese and let it melt.

Step Five: Once the meat and veggies are close, add the remaining butter down on the other half of the griddle. Then place your hoagie rolls down to toast till golden in color. This takes just a couple minutes.

Step Six: Once hoagies are toasted, pile in the meat and cheese mixture, and serve and devour!

Modifications to Recipe

Here are some modifications to this Philly cheesesteak on Blackstone recipe.

You can leave out the mushrooms if you don’t want to make it with mushrooms. The mushrooms help add flavor but also make helps stretch it. You are more than welcome to skip it.

For the seasoning feel free to change up what you use. We did simple, and it worked great. But you can add any flavors you want. From garlic and onion powder, to Creole seasoning. Feel free to adjust to your liking.

Want to make it low carb? Stuff the meat and veggie mixture into bell peppers for a lighter version. Use low carb tortillas to stuff in, etc. We can eat this just as a meal without the bun but we sure love the toasted bun.

Storing Leftovers

If you do not eat all Blackstone cheesesteaks just store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Then reheat in the microwave, back on the griddle, etc.

Now if you want you can freeze leftovers as well. But you will find the texture of the pepper and onions will become soggy. It is up to you if like the texture or not.

Any type of long hoagie roll works for this recipe. If you happen to not have any even a hamburger bun will suffice.

You can make 4-6 Hoagie Philly’s depending on how much you load up your rolls. We made 4, and then saved the leftover meat for another time. Now if you double the recipe then of course it will make extra.

Some say mayo does belong on a Philly, while others say you will ruin the flavor. It is up to you if you choose to add condiments to your steak sandwiches.

Shaved steak is easy to cook. Toss on the hot griddle and sear the meat until it is cooked and no longer pink. We like a little bit of crust to develop on meat as we find it adds more flavor.

Kitchen notes

Meat

– we used a shaved steak we bought. If you can't find shaved steak you can make your own. Very thin meat is key, as it gives you the traditional texture of the Philly. Double Recipe – Go right ahead and make extra if you need. We just did enough for our family. You can make as much as you want. Toasting Rolls – If you own a smaller Blackstone Grill you can remove the steak and vegetables and then in the same area toast the rolls if need be. Just add a tent of foil over the meat to keep it warm as you are toasting the rolls. Flattop Grill – This works on other flattop style grills and griddles! You can even cook in a skillet on the stove. We just find the seasoned Blackstone top transforms the flavor quite a bit.
