Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use a hot skillet or griddle to sear the steak quickly, then remove it and sauté peppers and onions separately so they caramelize without steaming the meat.
Slice the ribeye against the grain for maximum tenderness, and partially freeze it first to make thin, even cuts easier.
Layer the cheese over the hot steak and peppers off heat so it melts gently without overcooking the meat.
Toast the baguette lightly in a dry pan or oven to add structure and prevent sogginess from the filling.

Substitutions

Ribeye steak → sirloin, flank, or deli roast beef (leaner options; watch cooking time)
Provolone → American cheese, mozzarella, or Cheez Whiz (traditional Philly variants)
Baguette → hoagie roll, sub roll, or ciabatta (adjust size as needed)
Bell peppers → mushrooms, onions only, or banana peppers (for a different flavor profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Assemble fresh for best results. Store cooked steak and vegetables separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet before reassembling with fresh cheese and warm bread.
