Blackstone Griddle Philly Cheesesteak - featured image

A quick and easy Philly cheesesteak made on a Blackstone griddle featuring thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese on toasted hoagie rolls. Perfect for casual gatherings and game day meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
  • 68 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 small green bell pepper or banana peppers, sliced

Instructions

  1. Freeze the ribeye for about 20 minutes beforehand to make thin slicing easier. Slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips about 1/8 inch thick. Slice the onion thinly, separating the rings.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Brush 1 tablespoon of oil evenly across the surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the sliced onions to one side of the griddle with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally, letting them soften and caramelize to a golden brown. If using peppers, add them here to soften.
  4. Push the onions to the side and add the ribeye slices in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper. Let the beef sear without moving it for 2-3 minutes to build a crust, then stir and break up any clumps to cook evenly until rich brown with some crispy edges.
  5. Mix the caramelized onions back in with the ribeye. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Layer the provolone slices evenly over the beef and onions. Cover loosely with a lid or tent with foil to help the cheese melt smoothly.
  7. Brush the cut sides of the hoagie rolls lightly with oil and toast on the griddle until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Scoop the cheesy beef and onion mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the griddle to allow proper browning. Thin slices of steak cook quickly and stay tender. Caramelize onions slowly for best sweetness. Cover cheese briefly to melt without drying out. Toast hoagie rolls just before assembling to avoid sogginess. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. For leaner meat, sirloin can be substituted but may be less tender.
