Beef sirloin is used in this crockpot Philly cheese steak dish, but other roasts can be used as well. The meat is always tender and, if you like to dip as much as I do, it produces its own au jus. Put the meat on a sub bread, then add sautéed onion and green pepper to make sandwiches. Add Swiss or provolone cheese on top, then broil until the cheese begins to melt.

Very tasty! I always go by feel with the spices (normally adding more), other then that I made it as is. For a slight more kick, before I melted the cheese on top I added a sprinkle of cajun seasoning!
This turned out great! I did slice the meat and place all wet ingredients (minus the beer) and herbs (minus the beef bouillon) in a plastic bag and marinated it over night. Next morning I added onions and meat mixture to the crockpot, topped with the beer and bouillon.

Very flavorful ! Used bone in steaks (what I had on hand). And because I can’t have any alcohol in my diet, I used beef broth for the beer and bouillon cubes and omitted the whiskey. Even with the changes made, the aroma of this dish was mouth watering and the meat was so tender and delicious !
Loved it! I used round steaks because they were a lot cheaper and it was still delcious!
This was a good recipe, it was good but it tasted a little to much like pot roast. Like I said it was still great tasting but I am on a mission to make the best Philly cheesesteak possible I used 3 lbs of top sirloin steaks. Very good but not the best. I used steak buns and buttered the tops and broiled them for like 2 min just to get a little burnt.
I made this for dinner the other night. It was alright but not flavored traditionally and the beer taste was a bit too overwhelming.
very good!
These turned out fantastic! Two ingredients I did not have on hand were marjoram and beef bouillon cubes. After letting it cook all day, with the first taste test the meat definitely needed some salt, so one or two bouillon cubes is a must. Once the meat was finished I sautéed onions, mushrooms and red pepper in a little olive oil and butter. I then sliced up a mini baguette from Whole Foods and topped each slice with meat, veggies, and thin sliced provolone cheese. The tapas style philly sandwiches were put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and broiled until the cheese was a little brown and bubbly. They were so good!
We put this together in the morning before heading out for our Christmas festivities. The house smelled great when we got home and everyone loved the meat. The rolls I bought weren’t good—my husband is from Philly and he is very particular about the rolls. But, the meat was very flavorful and tender.
Threw this in the crock pot this morning, and came back to a delicious smelling house this afternoon. This was so fast and easy to put together; and makes a fantastic sandwich. I used venison roast instead of beef, and added some sliced mushrooms. I will definitely make this again, thank you!
I didnt care for the sauce it cooked in. Ended up draining off the sauce and putting some barbecue sauce in instead.
Made this afternoon today, and thought it was great. Will be making again soon.
I made a few changes. I used apple juice instead of beer. I did not use any alcohol. I’m in recovery no alcohol for me. This is a great dish. Me and my family loved it. This is real east to make. Love it!!!!! 5 stars
My family liked it. I thought it was a bit dry. Overall I give it a good rating and I would certainly make again maybe trying something different so the meat is not so dry.
This was WOW! My husband loved it, I loved it! I made it as is. It didn’t seem very tasty at first, but the next day it was amazing. I plan to make this often. Erred on sub rolls with cheese and onions. Also, used some of the broth to make gravy and served with biscuits. Thank you for a great recipe.
Fine, but I didn’t love the flavor. Prefer some other versions I’ve found.
Tripled the recipe save the beer; only used two bottles since I only had a more expensive import on hand. Used round steaks that had been in the freezer a while. Combined all ingredients and let sit in fridge overnight to marinate since lack of flavor was a complaint I’d read. Flavor was robust and texture was good. Peppers went in during last hour. Put the meat on toasted club rolls with melted muenster cheese and Miracle Whip. Broiled whole thing open faced in toaster prior to eating. Took off a star for the color of the meat, which was a dull gray prior to broiling. Maybe a quick brown in a skillet for color?
Very good. I didn’t have whisky or beef bouillon, so I added extra Worcestershire. I also put cut peppers in the slow cooker the last 1 1/2 hour or so to soften them up for the sandwiches. Definitely use the Au Jus for dipping! Adds a lot to the Philly.
Can’t say this comes close to a Philly Steak but really easy and very good. Kids really enjoyed it. Will make this again.
Used Stella Artois beer and Bulliet whiskey. Cooked it on low for 8 hours. I added the sliced green peppers the last hour, then served on crusty rolls with white American cheese. Tasty and easy
