Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef sirloin — For best results, slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Provolone cheese — Use high-quality provolone cheese for a rich and creamy flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer a softer crust, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking.
- Customize the filling by adding mushrooms, jalapenos, or your favorite cheese.
Serving advice
Serve the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Pie warm, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad.
Presentation advice
To showcase the golden crust, place the pie on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Cut into slices and serve on individual plates for an elegant presentation.
