On busy days a pan filled with mouthwatering Smothered Philly Cheese Cubed Steak will hit the proverbial spot. They’re succulent, tender and packed with flavor with the bonus of taking mere minutes to prepare. Cubed steak is usually made using sirloin or top round that the butcher has processed using a meat tenderizer which gives it a fierce pounding, The process leaves tiny indentations in the steak pieces shaped like “cubes” hence the name. I chose it to make this smothered Philly-style cubed steak for the tender texture and quick cooking time. Serve these smothered steaks stacked on a toasted garlic-butter hoagie roll and you’ve prepared a homemade meal that’s better than take-out.
My life is crazy busy just like yours. I have 2 sons to and they both have voracious appetites that I struggle to satisfy some days. I love dishes you can personalize, and that’s one more reason to love this easy dish as they can each be changed to suit everyone’s taste. Top them with any variety of peppers you enjoy or your favorite type of mushrooms. If you’re feeling sassy try making them with a different kind of cheese. My sons eat these smothered steaks on hoagie rolls but, most often I eat them without the bread and it’s a fantastic meal either way. It’s meal-time in no-time, it doesn’t get any better than that.

This was really good. My sons are little so I left out the red pepper flakes and they just had the steaks with cheese, but it was simple and a crowd pleaser which is a near impossible feat!
