A quick and easy campfire recipe that transforms classic Philly cheesesteaks into no-fuss foil packet meals, perfect for outdoor gatherings with tender beef, sautéed veggies, and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin as a budget-friendly option)
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • Soft hoagie rolls or large flour tortillas
  • Optional: jalapeño slices
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain. Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips, and mince the garlic.
  2. Optional but recommended: In a skillet over medium heat, heat butter or olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add beef, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until beef just loses its pink color, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Tear off large sheets of heavy-duty foil about 12 inches long. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the foil sheets. Place 2-3 slices of provolone cheese on top of each portion. Fold the foil over and crimp edges tightly to seal packets.
  4. Place foil packets on a grill grate over medium-hot campfire coals. Cook for about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The cheese should be melted and beef tender.
  5. Carefully remove packets using tongs and let cool for 1-2 minutes before opening. Spoon the filling into hoagie rolls or wrap in tortillas and serve.

Notes

Sautéing the vegetables and beef before assembling packets enhances flavor and reduces campfire cooking time. Double wrap foil packets to prevent leaks and avoid placing packets directly in flames to prevent burning. Let packets rest a couple of minutes before opening to avoid steam burns. Can be cooked in oven at 375°F for 20 minutes or air fryer at 350°F for 15 minutes if no campfire is available.
