More correctly it is thinly sliced ribeye steak grilled with onions and and provolone cheese can be used.

Got to say, I live in the midwest now and really miss the high quality of real Philly cheesesteaks! I can now come close with buying WalMart's frozen sandwich steak and Aldi's new take and bake baguettes. We make 'cheese steak hoagies', with provolone, lettuce, tomato and raw onions. Ad a little oregano and you have the best you can make at home!
