Let’s Talk About the Ingredients

Steak: I have tested a couple of different cuts of steak for this recipe and my favorite by far are sirloin steak or flank steak. Use a sharp knife to cut the steak thinly. To make getting a thin slice even easier, I recommend putting the steak in the freezer for a bit before slicing.

Bell Peppers: The classic philly cheesesteak veggies – peppers. You will need both a small red and green bell pepper.

Mushrooms: If you hate mushrooms, feel free to leave these out. Otherwise, go ahead and add in those baby bellas!

Onion: You cannot have a philly cheesesteak without plenty of onion.

Coconut Aminos: To keep this recipe gluten free, it calls for coconut aminos to add in some extra flavor instead of worcestershire sauce.

Apple Cider Vinegar: This also helps to give the skillet a bit of extra flavor and zip.

Cheese: This recipe calls for a combination of both mozzarella and pecorino romano cheeses for the top. If you don’t want to use two cheeses, feel free to just use shredded mozzarella.

How to Make This Cheesy Skillet

Step One: Add the thinly sliced steak to a small mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the steak is well coated.

Step Two: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add in a tablespoon of avocado or coconut oil. Next, add the steak to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes on each side until browned. Once the steak is brown, remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Step Three: Add the coconut aminos and vinegar to the skillet and stir to release any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Next, add the peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook the veggies until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

Step Four: Add the steak back to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and then cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately!

    This was a fantastic recipe, easy to make and even easier to eat! Lots of flavor, minimal clean up. So many ways to serve it. We ate with just a salad on the side…and didn’t even miss the bread. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, lightened up version of a pub favorite.

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      So glad you loved the recipe, Maureen!

  2. This looks amazing. Is it considered keto?

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      Thank you! I don’t follow a keto diet so I’m not sure on that. It is lower carb.

  3. So easy and so delicious! We will definitely make this again, might add some jalapeños for a little spice!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      I’m so glad you loved it, Mireille!

  4. I don’t like coconut. Why do I have to add it
    The rest sounds fantastic

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      Hi, Linda! The recipe calls for coconut aminos not coconut. I hope you love the recipe!

  5. This was SO delicious! The apple cider vinegar and coconut aminos combo makes a yummy and unexpected sauce on the meat and veggies. Will be making again soon! HIGHLY recommend adding this to your weekly rotation.

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      I’m so glad you loved the recipe, Lizzy! Thank you for taking the time to share and leave a review!

  6. Pamela Bailey says:

    Holy smokes. This is so flavorful and delicious. I doubled the recipe; party of 6 over here. I also cooked the steaks whole and then sliced them after cooking. This recipe is whole family approved (from 4 years to 40). 😉

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      I’m so glad everyone loved the recipe, Pamela! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review!

  7. So delicious! I used provolone cheese instead of mozzarella and Parmesan. This made 5-6 servings, I have a ton leftover. We loved it!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      I’m so glad you loved it, Chelsea!

  8. Laurie Dew says:

    Another super easy, super delicious meal. One skillet and done. Plus you can easily change out the meat of choice to what you have in your fridge. Tonight I added zucchini in the skillet and my 6yo. loved it (new vegetable). Woohoo!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      That sounds delicious, Laurie! Thank you for sharing!

  9. This was SO delicious. And easy to make. I have made steak and cheese before, but this took it to another level . I served it on a roll but could totally see it over greens too. My husband already asked when I can make it again. Thank you!!!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      I’m so glad y’all enjoyed it, Kim!

  10. Laurie D. says:

    This Philly cheesesteak skillet is amazing! I really like that you can substitute chicken if you prefer and that it is one pan and done. So flavorful! Thank you

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      You’re welcome, Laurie!

  11. This was so flavorful and delicious! I will definitely make it again. Thank you so much! 🙂

      I’m so glad you loved it, Alyssa!

  12. Hiliary W says:

    Sooooo goood!! Think I’ve made this once a week for the past month! So easy and so quick!!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      Thanks for sharing, Hillary!

  13. The Philly cheesesteak skillet is SO good. It has become a favorite in our meal rotation! Do yourself a favor and make this! (Even my husband who can’t eat dairy loves it without the cheese – it’s great over spinach and my kids love it on crusty bread)

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      Love the idea of serving it over spinach, Lauren! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

  14. Another great recipe that my husband loved. I don’t eat meat, but want yummy meals to make for my husband. He almost ate it all. So adding this to my recipe bookmark. Thank you!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      Yay! I’m so happy your husband enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      So happy you loved it, Kathryn!

  15. This was delicious! I had a block of parmesan on hand so I subbed that in place of the pecorino roman and it was still perfect. I don’t usually like mushrooms but I found myself enjoying them in this recipe. Served on hoagie rolls. We doubled the recipe and it was enough for three meals for me & my husband. This will definitely go into the rotation for nights that I need a quick, easy, and delicious meal! Ashlea and ATHT haven’t let me down yet!

    1. Ashlea Carver says:

      So happy you loved it, Emily! Love the ideas you shared to make it your own!
