Arby's Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak

About the Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak

Big appetites are the target of the Arby's Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak, a $15.78 sandwich that weighs in at 1,320 cal. A full half pound of seasoned Angus steak, shaved thin, fills a toasted sesame seed sub roll under caramelized onions, spicy sauce and melted Cooper cheese.

The recipe matches the regular Spicy Angus Cheesesteak, but the extra beef changes how it eats. With more steak in each bite, the savory, peppery meat takes center stage and the sauce works as a seasoning rather than the main event. Cooper cheese still melts into every gap, so the sandwich stays creamy, and the onions still add a sweet, slow cooked depth that rounds out the heat. The spice level reads as steady and warm, never harsh.

This is a heavy, overstuffed sandwich. Shaved steak spills past the edges of the roll, cheese strings off with each pull, and the sesame crust gets a workout holding it all together. Expect to reach for napkins. Under all that beef, the sesame seeds add a faint toasted nuttiness. Protein is serious at 67 grams, which puts it among the most filling options on the cheesesteak lineup.

The Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak price sits well above the regular version, and the jump buys a full half pound of steak, so the math works for people who would otherwise order two sandwiches. Prices here are from one Austin, Texas restaurant and can differ at your store. It fits a post workout meal, a long road trip stop, or a shared dinner cut into halves for two lighter eaters. Anyone counting sodium or calories should look at the smaller size first, since this one carries a lot of both.

What sets it apart from the plain Half Pound Cheesesteak is the sauce. The base sandwich is all beef, cheese and onion, while this version adds a layer of heat that keeps a big portion interesting through the last bite. For anyone who has already tried the regular spicy sub and walked away still hungry, this is the obvious next order.

Split the richness with a side of crispy Potato Cakes, or cool the burn with a chocolate shake. The meal version bundles fries and a drink into one ticket.
