Everyone has their favorite version of a cheesesteak sandwich, right? Well, here’s one of my favorite ways to twist it a bit. My Cajun cheesesteak sandwich recipe adds a zesty kick of flavor to the classic, and it’s absolutely delicious!
The key to any great cheesesteak recipe is to use very thinly sliced beef, and fortunately, that seems to be readily available in the grocery store now. If not, ask your butcher, or you could use an electric meat slicer. (I’m far too lazy for that.)
Start by getting your chop on! All those delicious fresh veggies need to be cut into cubes.
Eventually it will all end up together in a flavorful heap. Add the cheese until it melts and mixes in, and it’s dinnertime.

By the way, you may want to pick up an extra pack or two of the shaved beef when you find it. You can use it to make these slow cooker Italian beef sandwiches!

Make these also minus the provolone we use Gouda.. Very good nothing like a cajun sub, New Orleans has these and they are awesome…

My brother lived in Louisiana for 10 years, but I was too young to appreciate all of the food. This makes me want to make up for the yummy meals I lost out on eating boring kid food.

My steak (unless making it rare) always comes out so dry!! Otherwise, I’d be all over this recipe. But that does look soo good!
Rosey says
Such a great looking sandwich. I’d love to make this when my boys come home to visit.

I rarely eat anything other than a sandwich for lunch. However, I get stuck making the same kind over and over again. I’ve got to try this for my next lunch!
Karrie Truman says
One of my favorite meals to buy at sandwich shops is a Philly Cheesesteak. I have no doubt this tastes even better than one of those! The cajun part is where you hooked me right off the bat.

He is a fan of the spicier foods and this cheesesteak would be such a special treat!
