Philly Cheesesteak with Garlic Aioli
Why overpay for a Philly Cheesesteak when you could EASILY make it right at home without having to skimp on the cheesy, meaty goodness?!
So I really need to tell you guys about a party that I went to the other night.
MY OTHER RECIPES
It was my niece’s birthday party. Well it was actually Raja’s birthday party (my niece’s tiger stuffed animal), 6th birthday party to be exact, and Jason and I were the co-hosts of the party. It was quite an official party with an invite list and everything.
I managed to get off work a bit early, picked up balloons, party hats and birthday banners and rushed on over to the party.
We celebrated with an awesome homemade shabu shabu dinner (since Raja loves meat) and a gorgeous cake where the kids blew out the candles.
It was really one of the best birthday celebrations ever. Jason’s father jokingly said, “This is too much for Raja! You don’t even do this for my birthday.”
Hey, it’s not every day that you get to host a stuffed animal’s birthday party, right?
Now about this sandwich…
I received a couple of blocks of Tillamook’s Vintage White Extra Sharp Cheddar and I immediately knew that I wanted to make a cheesesteak sandwich using a chuck steak, cooked to medium perfection. I decided to “Philly” it up by loading up on some caramelized onions and bell peppers. But I still felt like something was missing so I made some homemade garlic aioli and slathered that right on.
The garlic aioli served as a wonderful complement to the meaty goodness along with the creamy, crumbly cheese. I really loved that the cheese wasn’t too overpowering, and the flavors melded so well together.

Oh I forgot to add – made the Chicken with Creamy Sundried Tomato sauce dish last night… mouth watering delicious!!!
Another great practical weeknight dinner. I cheated by using a bag of frozen peppers and onions and it still turned out awesome. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I made this for hubby today and he LOVED it! He said in all the steak and cheese subs he has had this ranks in the top 5 if not the top 2!!! The only change I made was using provolone cheese instead of american. Thanks again it’s a keeper!!!!
My husband asks for this sandwich almost every week!
This was the best!!!! The sauce is an absolute must and I wanted to post a picture of mine but there wasn’t a way.
