Best steak to use for Philly cheesesteaks

  • Ribeye: Known for its marbling and rich flavor, ribeye is the most traditional and flavorful choice.
  • Sirloin: A leaner option that’s still tender and full of flavor when sliced thinly.
  • Flank Steak: This cut is lean and slightly chewy but works beautifully when sliced against the grain.
  • Skirt Steak: Another lean cut with bold flavor, perfect for thin slicing and quick cooking.
  • Filet Mignon: For an ultra-tender and luxurious take, this premium cut is an excellent choice.

Each of these cuts works best when sliced very thinly, making them ideal for the quick cooking process of a Philly cheesesteak.
