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.
Cajun Cheesesteak Sandwich
- 1 lb shaved ribeye (packaged as shaved beef)
- 3 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 T Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 medium cubanelle pepper, chopped
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
- ½ large vidalia onion
- 3 slices provolone cheese
- 2 slices yellow American cheese (the good stuff from the deli)
- 1 12" sub roll
- In medium bowl, mix ribeye, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add onions. Cook until softened. Set aside.
- In large frying pan over high heat, fry steak mixture until thoroughly cooked.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add cubanelle pepper and cooked onions. Mix and cook for three minutes. Add cheese. Continue cooking until cheese is melted and mixed well.
- Slice sub roll and fill with cheesesteak mixture. Cut into desired sandwich sizes.
Enjoy!
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…
It sounds wonderful with Gouda. I’m going to have to try it!
Yum! This would be great for game day! Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
Cheesesteaks are always a huge hit in my house and my hubby is from Louisiana so he loves cajun food. These sound like they should be on my dinner table soon. Thank you for sharing!
So delicious! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cooking Wednesday!

Yum. That looks so good. It’s definitely a recipe my whole family would love. Thanks!
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!
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!
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.
Oh, this looks like something my husband would love.
He is a fan of the spicier foods and this cheesesteak would be such a special treat!
I love cheesesteaks but the bell peppers don’t love me anymore. I’m wondering if it is truly a cheesesteak if I do it without??!! This sounds so good!
This looks SO good! I love the flavor combo! Wish I could try this soon!
This looks so flavorful and delicious! My kids will surely love this! I can’t wait to try it!
I love me a good cheese steak! I haven’t had a cajun one before but I just mentioned it to my husband and he said yum! Guess we’ll be trying it very soon.
I enjoy a cheesesteak sandwich about twice a month. My son would enjoy the cajun flavor added to it, I’m sure.
Oh this sounds delicious! I bet the Cajun adds an amazing flavor!
Your recipe sounds and looks delicious. I am always looking for a good cheesesteak sandwich recipe. I am pinning this to use later.
Thank you.
Yum! This looks delicious. I like cheesesteak sandwiches anyway. One that is cajun would be even better.
I can not wait to give this recipe a try. My kids are going to love it. I will have to make it this weekend.
My husband is addicted to these sandwiches. I would love to be able to make something new with a cajun twist. Sounds delicious!
Cheese steak sandwiches are one of our favorite meals. I love the spin that you have put on it!
I love cheesesteaks and I like cajun food so I’ll definitely have to try your recipe.
These look so good. My husband will love these.
This looks so delicious. I love a good cheesesteak. I like the addition of the cajun seasoning.

This looks so freaking good! I want this sandwich right now. I’ll have to pin this for later. Travis was already instructed to pick up Subway. It’s a busy night in the Apel house.
These look amazing and I want to try this asap. I would make them tonight if I had everything!
I’m definitely going to be giving this recipe a try. I love this spicy take on a classic.
That is amazing. I love cheesesteak sandwiches, so I can’t wait to give this variation a try. So yummy!
I love cheesesteak sandwiches, and my husband does too. These would be the perfect meal for us!
Omg can we say yum?!?! I just love cheesesteaks! I will have to give your cajian version a try!
Those look amazing. Great dinner idea for sure.
Mmmm this is delicious. You can also make this recipe with Flat bread or burrito as well. This would have been fantastic for super bowl last Sunday.
Oh yum! I haven’t had a cheesesteak sandwich in a long time but man does it sound good!
