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?!
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.

All I can say is that this is fabulous! Thanks for another great recipe!
How do you think this would taste using meatballs instead of steak?
I was looking for something steak related to make a few months ago for my boyfriend and I. He loves steak but I wanted something different, not your typical meat and potatoes– and I came across this recipe. He absolutely LOVED it. I’m back to this page today because he’s asked for it again for dinner tonight! ….but shhhh! don’t tell him about the mayo. Thank you for this, it is so easy yet so impressive and tastes SO good.
I’ve made other dishes form your website since then and I am basically obsessed!

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!!!!
Another great practical weeknight dinner. I cheated by using a bag of frozen peppers and onions and it still turned out awesome. Thanks!
