Arby's Angus Cheesesteak

About the Angus Cheesesteak

Arby's Angus Cheesesteak costs $8.49 and carries 690 cal, built from seasoned Angus steak shaved thin, Cooper brand white American melted over the top, and caramelized onions, all on a toasted sesame sub roll. It is the chain's take on the Philly style cheesesteak.

Shaved Angus steak cooks fast and stays tender, so every bite is soft rather than chewy. The seasoning gives the beef a savory, griddled flavor that tastes different from the slow roasted beef in Arby's classic sandwiches. Cooper cheese is a sharp style of white American, and it melts into a creamy, slightly tangy layer that coats the steak instead of sitting on top as a slice. Caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness that balances the salty cheese. The toasted sesame sub roll holds everything together with a firm, golden crust and a nutty seed topping.

Open the wrapper and you get a long roll stuffed with brown, finely chopped steak, threads of soft golden onion and streaks of white cheese pulling between them. It is hearty enough for dinner, but easy to eat on the go since the shaved steak does not slide out the way thick slices can. Steak lovers who want something other than roast beef will find the most to like here, and so will anyone who grew up with cheesesteaks from a corner sub shop.

The Angus Cheesesteak calories reflect a full sub with steak and cheese, and the sandwich brings 38 grams of protein, a strong number for a single sandwich. Sodium runs high, as it does on most cheesesteaks, because of the seasoned beef and the melted cheese.

If you are checking the Angus Cheesesteak price against its siblings on the Arby's cheesesteak menu, the Spicy Angus Cheesesteak costs $8.99, and the Half Pound Cheesesteak costs $15.48 for a much bigger portion. Fries and a drink join the sub in the Angus Cheesesteak Meal for $12.99. All of these prices were recorded in Austin, TX and run a bit different elsewhere.

A cheesesteak and fries is a classic combo, and Crinkle Fries hold up well next to the soft, cheesy sub. For a cold finish, a Strawberry Lemonade cuts through the rich onions and cheese with bright, tart fruit flavor.
