Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Philly Texas Roadhouse Melt:
- Guinness beer (for deep, rich flavor)
- Thinly sliced ribeye steak
- Loaf of bread or Texas toast
- Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese (freshly grated)
- Provolone cheese (for the perfect melt)
- Purple onion, diced
- Green bell pepper, diced
- Portobello mushrooms, sliced
- Duke’s mayonnaise
- Butter
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt.
- Add diced purple onion, green bell peppers, and sliced portobello mushrooms.
- Sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Ribeye
- In the same skillet, increase heat to high.
- Add thinly sliced ribeye steak and season with salt and black pepper.
- Sear for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to get an even cook.
3. Add Guinness for Flavor
- Once the steak is browned, pour in a splash of Guinness beer.
- Stir and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes to enhance the meat’s rich, deep flavor.
4. Combine the Ingredients
- Add the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms back into the skillet.
- Stir everything together and allow flavors to meld for 2 minutes.
5. Melt the Cheese
- Freshly grate your cheese for the best melt and texture. Use a combination of Kerrygold Aged Cheddar and Provolone for the perfect balance of sharpness and creaminess.
- Sprinkle both cheeses generously over the steak mixture.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes, until gooey and fully incorporated.
6. Prepare the Bread
- Butter both sides of the Texas toast or thick-cut bread.
- Toast it in a skillet until golden brown on both sides.
7. Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread Duke’s mayonnaise on one side of the toasted bread.
- Spoon the cheesy steak mixture generously onto the bottom slice.
- Top with the second slice of toast.
- Slice in half and serve hot!
Pro Tips & Variations
- Cheese Choices: Using Kerrygold Aged Cheddar and Provolone gives the perfect sharp, buttery, and creamy melt. If you want a different take, try Swiss or Monterey Jack.
- Booze-Free Option: Skip the Guinness and use a splash of beef broth instead.
- Bread Upgrade: Try a buttered brioche bun or sourdough for a gourmet touch.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Make it a Meal: Serve with crispy fries, coleslaw, or a pickle on the side.
