    Notes

    • Ribeye creates the most authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
    • Provolone is the cheese shown in the image and melts beautifully.
    • Don’t skip toasting the bread before filling.
    • If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
    • Fresh garlic and parsley make a huge difference.
    • Serve immediately for maximum cheese pull.
