About Philly cheesesteak sandwich

The Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is a classic American dish originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the 1930s. It features thinly sliced beef, typically ribeye or top round, sautéed with onions and often bell peppers, served on a soft hoagie roll. Melted cheese, traditionally provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz, completes its savory profile. While flavorful and satisfying, cheesesteaks are high in calories and fat due to the beef and cheese. However, they provide protein, and adding vegetables can enhance their nutritional value. Choosing leaner meat cuts, whole-grain rolls, or reducing cheese can make this indulgent sandwich a bit healthier while preserving its iconic taste. Pairing it with a side salad or fresh vegetables can also balance its richness for a more nutritious meal.
