White Sauce

To Assemble

Method

Making the White Sauce

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s frothy.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Whisk in the all-purpose flour until smooth and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Seasonings

    Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.

Cooking the Steak and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced green and red bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized.

  3. 6

    Combine Steak and Vegetables

    Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Philly Steak and Cheese

  1. 7

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.

  2. 8

    Add the Filling

    Fill each sub roll with the steak and vegetable mixture. Pour the white sauce over the filling generously.

  3. 9

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the provolone and cheddar cheese blend on top of the filling.

  4. 10

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
