Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can prep the veggies and steak ahead of time, allowing the flavors to develop even more. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
- Slicing Tricks: For perfectly thin slices of ribeye, freeze the meat for about 30 minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to achieve those tender, melt-in-your-mouth pieces.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you can’t find ribeye steak, flank steak or sirloin also work wonderfully for a satisfying cheesesteak.
- Leftover Enjoyment: Store any leftover cheesesteak mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it for a quick lunch or snack!
