About Philly cheesesteak

The Philly Cheesesteak is a classic American sandwich that originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. It features thinly sliced beef, traditionally ribeye, cooked on a griddle and served on a long hoagie roll. Toppings often include melted cheese, commonly provolone or Cheez Whiz, and sautéed onions, with optional additions like peppers, mushrooms, or condiments. While the sandwich is rich in protein from the beef, it is also high in fat and sodium due to the cheese and meat. The white hoagie roll provides refined carbohydrates with minimal fiber content. Health-conscious adaptations might include whole-grain bread, leaner cuts of meat, reduced cheese, and increased vegetable toppings. The Philly Cheesesteak is beloved for its savory, indulgent flavor and offers an iconic taste of Philadelphia’s culinary heritage.
