What is your absolute favorite thing to cook outside on the Blackstone griddle? Leave your suggestions in the comments!
Today I am heading outside to fire up my Blackstone griddle to show you how to make the ultimate Midwestern Cheesesteak Sandwich! If you are looking for an easy shaved beef sandwich recipe that cooks up in under 15 minutes, this simple outdoor griddle tutorial is for you. While these aren't traditional Philly cheesesteaks, my Midwestern twist features tender shaved steak, sautéed bell peppers, sweet onions, fresh mushrooms, and perfectly melted Swiss cheese piled high on toasted sub rolls. And yes, you don't need a Blackstone to make this, you can do this on your stove top as well!
Learning how to cook shaved steak on a Blackstone griddle or flat top grill is one of the quickest ways to pull together a delicious weeknight dinner! I walk you through every step of flat top griddle cooking, from staggering your vegetable prep so your onions, green peppers, and mushrooms turn out perfectly tender, to quickly searing shaved beef so it stays juicy and tender. Whether you are using a Blackstone grill, a flat top iron skillet, or a standard indoor stovetop pan, this homemade sandwich recipe can easily be customized to your taste.
Ingredients
12 to 14 oz shaved steak
1 whole green pepper
1 small onion
1/2 container fresh mushrooms
3 tbsp butter
Olive oil
Garlic salt
Black pepper
Swiss cheese (or Pepper Jack cheese)
Hearty sub buns
Garlic aioli or mayonnaise
Tips and Tricks
🥩 Pre-shaved steak from the grocery store (like Aldi) saves massive prep time, or ask your local butcher to shave it fresh for you.
🧈 Stagger your veggies when cooking! Start with onions first since they take the longest, add green peppers next, and finish with mushrooms so nothing gets soggy.
🥖 Toast your sub buns directly on the cooler edge of your flat top griddle for a quick, warm, crunchy texture without needing extra butter.
🔥 Cook your shaved steak over medium-high heat with a quick drizzle of olive oil to get a beautiful sear without overcooking or drying out the beef.
🧀 Melt the cheese directly over the meat and veggie pile on the griddle and close the hood/lid for 60 seconds for maximum melty goodness.
🌶️ Customization idea: Swap Swiss for Pepper Jack cheese if you want a spicy kick, or try your favorite steak seasoning blend instead of basic garlic salt and pepper.
