Philly Cheesesteak Omelette (Print View)

Classic Philly flavors in a fluffy omelette with steak, peppers, and melted provolone.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 4 oz thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)

→ Vegetables

02 - 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
03 - 1/2 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced

→ Eggs & Dairy

04 - 4 large eggs
05 - 3 tbsp milk
06 - 2 slices provolone cheese
07 - 1 tbsp butter

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 tsp salt
09 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
10 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder

→ Optional Garnish

11 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt half the butter. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, sauté for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften.
02 - Add the sliced steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with half the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove filling from the skillet and set aside.
03 - Wipe the skillet clean and reduce heat to medium. Whisk together eggs, milk, and remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
04 - Melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and let cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 1-2 minutes.
05 - Gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath. When nearly set, add the steak, peppers, onions, and provolone cheese to one half of the omelette.
06 - Fold the omelette over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and omelette is cooked through.
07 - Slide onto a plate, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It brings the savory, cheesy indulgence of a cheesesteak to your breakfast table in under half an hour.
  • The combination of fluffy eggs and tender steak creates a texture that feels luxurious yet comforting.
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak or it will steam instead of getting that nice sear.
  • Wiping the skillet clean before cooking the eggs prevents the omelette from taking on a grey or brown color.
03 -
  • A non-stick skillet is absolutely essential for folding the omelette without tearing it.
  • Adding a splash of water to the eggs instead of milk makes them even lighter and fluffier.
