The cold weather means it’s time to enjoy foods that are warm, comforting, and filling. These gluten free, dairy free cheesesteak sandwiches are just the thing to make when you’re craving a deliciously warming dinner.

If you’re unable to eat gluten and dairy, you may have thought that your Philly cheesesteak days were over.

That doesn’t have to be true! There are many wonderful dairy substitutes on the market today as well as delicious gluten free breads and rolls. You can make this classic sandwich at home using these substitutes and I think you’ll find that it’s a satisfying meal that your whole family will love.

Ingredient Notes

  • Steak – Ribeye steak is a good choice for making a Philly cheesesteak. Be sure to slice the steak very thin for best results.
  • Dairy Free Cheese – I made a very simple dairy free cheese sauce for extra gooey, cheesy goodness, but you could also just use your favorite dairy free cheese slices or shreds on top of the sandwich.
  • Gluten Free Rolls – There are many different brands of gluten free bread and rolls to choose from. Both Little Northern Bakehouse and BFree make gluten free buns and rolls. Schar makes longer submarine style sandwich rolls. All of these brands have different ingredients and facilities, so be sure to call and find out if a specific brand is safe for your needs.

More Bread Options

  • If you can’t find any gluten free rolls that are safe for you, you could just use regular gluten free bread. I think this recipe will still be delicious on toasted bread.
  • If you aren’t gluten free, go ahead and use whatever brand of sandwich rolls or buns that work for your family. Pretzilla makes pretzel sandwich rolls that are made in a peanut and tree nut free facility.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Saute the peppers, onions, and mushrooms in a large skillet, until the veggies are softened and starting to brown. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and continue to cook until the steak is cooked through.

    Looks so good. I’ll have to check out your bread brand suggestions. Assuming it’s places you can shop online at? Never heard of the brands. My challenge is finding gluten free breads without rice flour. I use to have to eliminate egg too but can do egg now but not too often. Happy Camper bread is the only rice free, egg free, dairy and gluten free bread I’ve found. They don’t have rolls like this. :(
