# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The combination of three cheeses creates layers of flavor that mimic an authentic cheesesteak
  • You get all the satisfaction of a steak dinner with the hands on comfort of pizza night
02 -
  • Overcooking the steak makes it tough, so remove it the moment it browns
  • A pizza stone makes a noticeable difference in crust texture, but a preheated baking sheet works too
03 -
  • Freeze your steak for 20 minutes before slicing to get those thin, even pieces
  • Let the cooked steak rest on the vegetables so the meat juices soak into the peppers and onions
