Philly Cheese Steak Seasoning Recipe

If you’re craving a cheesesteak sandwich, you need this Philly Cheese Steak Seasoning Recipe. With just a few simple ingredients, this blend of spices will enhance the flavors of the classic sandwich with a rich bold taste. Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or a group of friends, this cheesesteak spice mix will make your homemade sandwiches a hit, bringing a little taste of Philly to your table.

When creating homemade seasoning recipes, I try to use the spices and herbs that I have in my pantry and that will bring out the best flavors for the recipe I am making. A great Philly Cheesesteak has the perfect balance of tender steak, gooey cheese, and sautéed onions, all packed into a soft hoagie roll. But what truly elevates this sandwich is this steak seasoning that brings out the full flavor of the meat, making each bite a savory, mouth-watering experience.

Being a Pennsylvania girl at heart, I’ve had my share of Philly sandwiches and I absolutely love them. Living in Georgia we don’t have many places I can get a really good classic hoagie. I miss that. But with my Easy Philly Cheesesteak Recipe and this Philly steak seasoning, I can make the sandwiches at home and savor the taste and memories.

One of the best things about this DIY seasoning is its versatility. Giving the classic sandwich incredible flavor isn’t the only food you can use it with. Adding it to other dishes like this Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Soup is a delicious twist from the seasoning I normally use. Sprinkling it over roasted vegetables is also delicious.
