Arby’s Angus Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipe
Thinly shaved Angus steak, melted Cooper cheese and caramelized onions make Arby’s newest permanent sandwich a rich, straightforward cheesesteak worth knowing.
Yield: 4 Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter divided
- 1 large Yellow Onion cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt divided
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 pound thinly shaved Angus Ribeye Steak
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 8 ounces thinly sliced Cooper Sharp White American Cheese
- 4 Amoroso Sesame Seed Sub Rolls split
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the vegetable oil.
- Spread the steak across the hot skillet. Cook for 45 seconds without stirring.
- Chop and turn the steak with two spatulas. Season with the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, sugar and remaining salt.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the steak is browned but still juicy.
- Return the onions to the skillet. Toss with the steak and divide the mixture into 4 portions.
- Place the cheese over each portion. Cover the skillet and cook for 45 to 60 seconds, until melted.
- Melt the remaining butter on a clean griddle or skillet. Toast the rolls cut-side down until lightly golden.
- Scoop one portion of steak, onions and cheese into each toasted roll.
- Serve immediately while hot and creamy, adding a little extra black pepper or salt to taste.
Substitutions & Notes
- Cooper Sharp can be difficult to find outside the Mid-Atlantic region. Full-fat white American cheese sliced at a supermarket deli provides the closest widely available substitute.
- Amoroso rolls may be ordered online or found in some restaurant-supply stores. When unavailable, use soft 7-inch sesame sub rolls with a lightly chewy crust rather than firm French bread.
