Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice the sirloin as thin as possible (partially freeze it for 30 minutes first for easier slicing) to ensure tender results.
Toast your hoagie rolls lightly to add structure and prevent them from becoming soggy from the cooking liquid.
Don't skip the pepperoncini juice—it adds a tangy depth that balances the savory beef and consommé.
Drain excess cooking liquid before assembling sandwiches to avoid sogginess; reserve broth for dipping if desired.

Substitutions

Beef consommé → beef broth (use same amount; flavor will be slightly less concentrated)
Worcestershire sauce → soy sauce (use 1.5 tbsp for saltiness balance)
Provolone → American cheese or Cheez Whiz (melts faster and creamier)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover cooked beef and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, then add fresh cheese and toast rolls before serving.

Common Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, substitute sirloin with flank steak, skirt steak, or ribeye. Ensure meat is thinly sliced for even cooking.

How long should the Philly cheesesteaks cook in the slow cooker?

Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the steak is tender and vegetables are soft.

What can I use instead of provolone cheese?

American cheese, Cheez Whiz, or mozzarella work well. American cheese melts fastest and most smoothly.

Can I make this recipe ahead?

Yes, cook the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and top with cheese before serving.
