Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak is an easy sandwich recipe that is made in minutes in the pressure cooker. Meaty, cheesy and delicious with steak, onion, green bell pepper, and cheese.
I love adding ingredients into the instant pot pressure cooker and a few minutes later having a full meal.
It makes planning dinner so much easier and effortless. Also, an added bonus is there is less of a mess to clean up. Saving time and feeding a hungry family is always a winner in my book. One recipe that I have enjoyed making lately is making this Philly cheesesteak recipe in the instant pot. The pressure cooker makes the steak perfectly tender and the sliced onion and green bell pepper come out tender but not overcooked. Place the delicious filling into a hoagie or sub roll and top it with some cheese.

This was great!! I love the idea of using my Instant Pot in summer months when I don’t want to heat up the house with the stove, but I have had a hard time finding recipes that don’t turn the veggies to mush. The quick cook time on this made all the difference and love an easy, tasty meal. This is going into our normal dinner rotation!
