Introduction

The image shows a foil packet open on a white marbled textured surface with a wooden cutting board underneath some foil packets. Inside the foil, there are several layers starting with cooked green pepper strips and pieces of steak mixed with sautéed onions. On top, melted white cheese covers parts of the filling with a creamy texture, speckled with black pepper. A silver fork is pulling up some of the melted cheese and meat, pulling thin strings of cheese. Fresh green herbs are sprinkled lightly on the top, adding a touch of green color.

Ingredients

1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
4 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
2 cups baby potatoes, quartered
½ yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
12 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) or prepare your grill to 500–525°F (260–274°C).
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the ribeye steak, green bell pepper, mushrooms, baby potatoes, yellow onion, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
Step 3: Divide the meat and vegetable mixture evenly among six large sheets of foil. Fold the sides and top of each sheet tightly to form sealed packets.
Step 4: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet in the oven or directly on the grill. Cook for 25–30 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. If using a grill, flip the packets halfway through cooking.
Step 5: Carefully open each foil pack and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on top of the meat and veggies. Close the foil loosely and return to the oven or grill for 2 more minutes, until the cheese melts.
Step 6: Remove from heat, open the packets, and serve immediately. Enjoy your easy, flavorful Philly Cheesesteak meal!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add sliced jalapeños or use a smoky cheddar instead of provolone.
If you prefer softer potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before adding to the foil packs.
Try adding a splash of beef broth or a few dashes of hot sauce inside the packets for more moisture and a flavor boost.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat foil packs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or microwave on medium power, but the oven method helps keep the veggies tender.

How to Serve

Three foil packets filled with a layered dish sit on a wooden board over a white marbled surface. Each packet holds tender pieces of brown cooked beef and light golden potato chunks, mixed with slices of green bell pepper and bits of translucent cooked onion. Melted white cheese is draped over the top, slightly browned and bubbling, with a sprinkling of chopped green herbs and cracked black pepper adding texture and color contrast. One foil packet has a fork resting inside, showing the soft, gooey cheese stretched over the ingredients. A sprig of fresh green herbs lies beside the board, and a whole green bell pepper is partially visible on the left edge. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute ribeye with sirloin or flank steak as long as it is thinly sliced. These cuts work well and remain tender when cooked in foil packets.

Is it possible to make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely! Replace the ribeye with hearty vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or extra mushrooms and add a plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh for a delicious vegetarian version.
