About Phily cheese steak

The Philly Cheese Steak, a beloved classic from Philadelphia, is a hearty sandwich that epitomizes comfort food. Traditionally, it features thinly sliced ribeye steak, grilled to perfection, and topped with melted cheese—usually Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American cheese. Served on a crusty hoagie roll, it often includes sautéed onions, and many variations add mushrooms or bell peppers. Rooted in American street food culture, the creation of this sandwich dates back to the early 20th century. While rich in protein from the steak and calcium from the cheese, its high fat and sodium content make it a less balanced choice for regular consumption. The refined flour in the bread adds to its calorie density, with minimal fiber. For a healthier twist, opt for leaner cuts of beef, whole-grain bread, and moderate cheese portions, and consider adding extra vegetables for enhanced nutrition.
