Ingredients You'll Need
To create this delicious fusion of Italian and Philadelphia flavors, you'll need a few key ingredients:
- Ribeye steak
- Pasta (we recommend a hearty, wide noodle like pappardelle or fettuccine)
- Onion
- Bell pepper (optional, but adds a nice pop of color and flavor)
- Garlic
- Cheese - we prefer a blend of provolone and mozzarella for that authentic Philly cheesesteak taste, but you can use your favorite melting cheese
- Beef broth
- Worcestershire sauce
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking the Ribeye
The key to a great Philly cheesesteak is the tender, flavorful ribeye. Start by seasoning your steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and once hot, add your steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.
Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain. This step is crucial for tender, easy-to-chew pieces of steak in your pasta.
Sautéing the Vegetables
In the same skillet you cooked the steak, add a bit more olive oil and sauté your onions and bell pepper (if using) over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Cooking the Pasta
While the vegetables are cooking, boil water and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Combining the Ingredients
Add the sliced ribeye, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring that each piece of pasta is coated in the delicious ribeye and vegetable mixture. If the pasta seems too dry, add a bit more beef broth.
Melting the Cheese
Once the pasta is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat and add your cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and gooey, creating that perfect, indulgent cheesesteak sauce.
Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Pasta with Ribeye hot, topped with additional cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad.
