    2 arizona cheesesteaks made on blackstone griddle with nacho cheese on table

    I love a good Philly cheesesteak. Usually, I would not mess with the classic cheesesteak recipe -- rib-eye steak, green bell peppers and Provolone cheese on a hoagie roll.

    But when Blackstone Products reached out with a request to help free the cheesesteak and develop a recipe for an Arizona cheesesteak, I was game.

    By the way, this is not sponsored. The first time I made this cheesesteak, I used a plain old skillet! Any flattop grill will work here, as well.

    We did end up purchasing a Blackstone griddle after reading so many rave reviews, and I highly recommend it! We love making smashburgers, bacon and pancakes on this flat-top grill!

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients for this Blackstone cheesesteak. You can find them in grocery stores.

    • Avocado oil or vegetable oil
    • Ribeye steak -- thinly sliced rib-eye steak is the best meat for cheesesteaks
    • Small onion-- diced or sliced onions
    • Jalapeño pepper 
    • Sea salt
    • Black pepper
    • Ancho chili powder
    • Sliced provolone cheese
    • Nacho cheese sauce or queso
    • Bolillo rolls or hoagie rolls

    How to Make Cheesesteak on Blackstone Griddle

    First, slice or shave the rib-eye steaks as thin as possible. It helps to freeze the steak for a little while so that it's easier to cut into thin slices. You can also look for prepared cheesesteak meat or shaved meat in your grocery store.

    Dice up the jalapeño peppers and onions, and have everything else ready to go. The meat cooks very fast on the griddle. It doesn't take long in a skillet, either!

    Heat the griddle on high until it smokes. Then, turn the heat down, to medium heat or medium high heat, and brush a thin layer of avocado oil over the griddle surface.

    I don't recommend using olive oil, because it's not good for use over high heat.

    Add the onions and peppers, and cook just until they soften up. Sprinkle a little bit of the seasoning over them, and stir often so they don't burn.

    Then, move the peppers and onions to the side of the griddle, over low or no heat, while you cook the steak on the other half of the griddle.

    If you are using very thin shaved ribeye steak, you can cook everything together.

    Cook the steak, adding more seasoning and moving it around the surface as it cooks. You can cut the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks if you need to.

    When the meat is done, mix the steak, onions and peppers together. Then, add the slices of provolone cheese, and mix everything together.

    If you want sliced jalapeño peppers as a topping for your sandwiches, heat them up for a few seconds now.

    You can also, heat the insides of the rolls now if you like.

    How to Serve

    To make the steak sandwiches, just pile the meat and cheese inside the sliced bolillo rolls.

    Spoon a little of the nacho cheese or homemade queso on top of the meat mixture.

    Finally, top with sliced jalapeño peppers, and you're good to go.

    Variations

    There are a couple different options for customizing this tasty cheesesteak sandwich.

    If you want to turn this Arizona cheesesteak into a Blackstone Philly cheesesteak or more authentic Philly cheesesteak, leave off the nacho cheese and jalapeños. Instead, use green bell peppers, a jar of Cheez Whiz, and serve the meat on a hoagie bun.

    For a little more kick, add habanero peppers, red pepper flakes, or your favorite hot sauce. You can also use Blackstone cheesesteak seasoning.

    Feel free to add whatever types of cheeses you like best! Pepper jack cheese is a great option for an Arizona style cheesesteak, as are American cheese and Mexican blend cheese.

    Ditch the bolillo rolls and cook some prepared vegetables to make this a bread-less Philly cheesesteak variation.

    How to Store

    Store any leftover cheesesteak in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it'll last for 3 to 4 days.

    Reheat individual portions of the steak in the microwave. Or, reheat over the stove or on the griddle.
