Cheesesteak Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Add Peppers and Mushrooms

    Add sliced bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the peppers are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Prime Rib

    Slice the herb roasted prime rib thinly against the grain. If you prefer, you can warm it up in the skillet with the vegetables.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the cheese whiz until it is smooth. If using fontina cheese, melt it over low heat until creamy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheesesteaks

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise but not all the way through. Layer the vegetables, prime rib, and then drizzle with cheese whiz or melted fontina cheese inside the rolls.

  6. 6

    Add Long Hots

    Top the cheesesteaks with long hots for an extra kick. Close the rolls and serve immediately.
