How to Make This Skillet Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

Ingredients

Butter – Adds rich flavor and keeps everything from sticking while helping those veggies caramelize beautifully.
Green bell pepper, sliced – Brings fresh sweetness and a little crunch that balances the savory steak.
Onion, sliced – Turns soft and slightly sweet as it cooks.
Steak, sliced thinly – The star of the show, cooking quickly in the skillet for juicy, tender bites.
Mozzarella or provolone cheese – Melts into gooey perfection, wrapping the steak and veggies in creamy goodness.
Salt and pepper – Simple seasoning that enhances all the natural flavors without overpowering them.
Buns (optional) – Perfect for turning this skillet meal into a handheld sandwich.

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients.

Tip: We like to do as much of the preparation for camping as we can at home. The onion and bell pepper were cut at home and stored in a large freezer bag for camping.

2. Saute the veggies over the fire until the onion is opaque.

3. Add the steak and cook over the fire until done to your liking.

Doesn’t this skillet meal look amazing?!

4. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Top with cheese and serve on buns or as is.
