Philly Cheesesteak Skillet 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 Cheesesteak 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!

Substituted boneless skinless chicken breast for the beef but followed the directions to a T otherwise. Fast and delicious!
The family loved this recipe. Made some tweaks…Marinated steak overnight in coconut amino’s and used TJ’s unexpected cheddar on top.
This was such a quick and delicious meal! It came together in no time and everyone in my family loved it, including my two kiddos!
Another great recipe! Super simple but tastes great 🙂 thank you!
I made this dish for dinner last night and it was a home run! So easy and delicious. My husband immediately said it had to be added to the dinner rotation. Thanks for sharing this great weeknight dinner idea!
This was so simple yet so amazing!! My husband said we are definitely making this one again. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Just made this and it’s delicious! Excellent week night meal. My husband and I live in Philly and definitely approve. He’s a cheesesteak lover and even approved this lightened up version.
So delicious and easy to make! My fiancé loved it and we will certainly make it again! The simplicity of the coconut aminos and the apple cider vinegar for “sauce” was great! We made it with baked potatoes and will certainly make it again soon!
I’m allergic to coconut. Is there an alternative?
Hi, Dana! you could sub the coconut aminos for soy sauce if you like.
When do I put the garlic in?
Hi, Suzanne! You’ll add the garlic with the rest of the veggies. Hope that helps!
Hi Ashlea! We loved this recipe! My fiance declared this his new favorite dinner recipe (tied with your lemon pepper baked wings!)! I love the healthy spin you put on the classics! Keep em coming 🙂 Thank you!

It notes garlic but the recipes doesn’t say when to add it in. I assume with the steak ?
Hi, Tara! Yes! The garlic will go in with the steak!
Such an easy flavorful weeknight meal! I served it over the Alexia garlic fries I threw in the air fryer! Love Love!!

Thanks for sharing, Laura! I’m so happy you loved the recipe!
Simple and delicious! Garnished with Trader Joe’s sweet and hot jalapeños – the perfect kick and boost of flavor. Banana peppers would also be great if you like less spice.
