Philly Cheesesteak Tacos

These crispy, cheesy steak tacos bring together bold flavors inspired by the iconic Philly cheesesteak. Juicy shaved steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty cheese all folded into a golden, toasted tortilla. It’s not a taco, it’s not the classic sandwich—it’s the perfect fusion of both.

Ingredients

STEAK

  • 1 pound thinly shaved steak
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth

VEGGIES

  • 1/2 large yellow onion, sliced or chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

FOR ASSEMBLY

  • 8 flour or corn soft tortillas, taco size
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, or any cheese of choice
  • neutral oil, for toasting tacos

Instructions 

  1. Cook the Veggies: In a pan over medium heat, add oil and sauté the diced onion and sliced bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent and the peppers are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak: In the same pan, heat the butter and oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the shaved steak and let it sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes to get some browning. Then season with salt, paprika, mustard powder, and black pepper. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the steak is juicy and tender. Turn off the heat and stir the veggies back in.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, sprinkle some cheese on one half, add a scoop of the steak and veggie mixture, and top with a little more cheese. Fold over the tortilla to close.
  4. Toast the Tacos: Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat with a light coating of oil. Toast each taco for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Enjoy warm and bonus points with ketchup!
