There is nothing better for lunch than an Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sliders. Made with flank steak, bell peppers, served on a King’s Hawaiian Roll, and it’s smothered with provolone cheese.
If you love a great sandwich, this is one of my favorites. Made with flank steak, it’s a great and easy dinner or lunch. It’s also one of my go-to meals since both of my children really love them. And with the Instant Pot, there is hardly any clean-up, so this makes for a great and easy midweek meal.
Now, I am living in Philly, the Cheesesteak Capital of the World, or the United States. We have a local rivalry between Genos and Pats, which are actually located across the street from South Philadelphia. So, I know a great cheesesteak, and this dish is the perfect blend of meat, peppers, and cheese, and you get the sweetness of the King Hawaiian Bread Roll for a perfect bite!
Looking for other great and easy meals made in the Instant Pot, here are some of my favorites, Instant Pot Shepherd’s Pie, Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas, or even a hot cup of Instant Pot Copycat Panera Broccoli and Cheese Soup.

How To Make Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

When finished, release the pressure valve and open the lid. Remove meat and shred. Add your meat back to your Instant Pot with peppers. For a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of corn starch.
Cut dinner bun in half. Add the bottom portion of the buns to a 8 x 8 baking pan.
Spoon meat and peppers onto the buns. Evenly distribute.

Some Pro Tips For Making The Best Batch of Instant Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
- Start by placing your flank steak into the freezer for about 30 minutes; it will allow you to slice the beef into thin slices.
- Season your flank steak. After you slice it, you can season it with anything. I seasoned mine with a simple salt and black pepper rub. Other great seasonings that would go well with this dish are onion or garlic powder.
- For a richer flavor, add or substitute the water for beef broth or stock.
What Is In A Traditional Cheesesteak in Philly?
This is one of the most common questions I get asked by everyone, once I tell them I live in Philadelphia.
When we first ordered cheesesteaks in Philly, they asked us with whiz or without. My son, one of the pickiest eaters, and was already having trouble eating a cheesesteak, promptly said no. He didn’t want anything else he would have to eat.
So, what is Cheez Whiz? If you want to substitute the provolone cheese out for an authentic Philadelphia Cheesesteak, grab a bottle of Kraft Cheez Whiz and pour it on your sandwich.
