Wonder if this could be adapted for the Instant Pot.
It would cook faster, obviously. But the saute function would work to start it
out.

Philly Steak, 2 ways, soup or sandwiches
Happy Friday, Slow Cookerers!!
I've got a treat for you today --- one of the favorite recipes on the site and
in my first cookbook is for Philly Cheesesteak Soup.
It's pretty much everything you'd expect : savory, a bit tangy, and full of
steak, onions, peppers, provolone cheese, and flavor.
the only thing missing is the bread!
Philly Cheesesteak Soup
serves 4-6 or so
1 pound thinly cut beef strips (I used beef chuck steaks that I cut with
kitchen shears)
Sugar's note, I often ask my butcher in the meat department to slice and cut
all my meats.
4 cups beef broth
2 cups skim or 2% milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 yellow onion, peeled and cut in slices
Sugar's note: I love the red or purple onion as it is a bit sweeter
2 bell peppers (I used one green, one red)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces provolone cheese (to add at the very end)
The Directions.
Add the 1 tablespoon of butter to your crockpot and turn it on high to melt.
Cut up your meat and add it to the crock, swirling it into the butter to coat.
Add the chopped peppers, onion, and garlic.
Add the Worcestershire, salt and pepper.
Stir in the beef broth and milk.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for about 4 - 5.
The soup is done when the meat has reached the desired tenderness.
Before serving, stir in the provolone cheese. It will melt in stringy
chunks---yum.
The Verdict.
This is a delicious soup. I was very pleased with the flavor of the broth.
The broth is thin, if you feel you'd like a thicker broth, you can make a roux
on the stove with the butter and some flour or cornstarch before adding to the
crockpot.
I don't like cooking before cooking, and opted to not bother with this step.
But I also don't care if the broth is thin. If thin broth bothers you --make
the roux.

and here is the Sandwich Version!
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
serves 4
The Ingredients.
(use 1/2 pound of meat per person)
2 pounds sliced tri-tip or fajia meat
1/2 sliced onion
2 red, green, yellow or orange bell pepper, sliced
1/3 cup of white wine
Sugar's note: you can leave this out and add a little aju sauce or broth.
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (not pictured)
--favorite cheese: American, Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss, Provolone
The Directions.
If you are using 2 pounds of meat, use a 4-quart slow cooker.
--dump sliced meat into stoneware
--put sliced pepper and onion in too
--add white wine and Worcestershire sauce
cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-6.
Spoon meat onto sliced french rolls or other favorite bread-item.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melty.
enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!!
