Arby's Spicy Angus Cheesesteak
Seasoned, thinly-shaved Angus steak with melted white American Cooper cheese, caramelized onions, and spicy sauce on a toasted sesame seed sub roll.
About the Spicy Angus Cheesesteak
At $8.99 and 800 cal, the Arby's Spicy Angus Cheesesteak is the regular size beef cheesesteak with heat added. Arby's layers seasoned Angus steak, shaved thin, into a toasted sesame seed sub roll and finishes it with caramelized onions, spicy sauce and a cap of melted Cooper cheese.
Beef leads the flavor. Shaved thin, the Angus steak picks up seasoning on every surface and stays tender instead of chewy. Cooper cheese is creamy and mild with a gentle tang, so it softens the sauce without hiding it. The caramelized onions bring a jammy sweetness that plays against the heat, and that sweet versus spicy push is what separates this sandwich from the plain Angus Cheesesteak. Expect a warm, building burn rather than a sharp sting.
Texture stays soft and saucy from end to end. The toasted roll gives a light crunch and a nutty sesame note, then the inside turns into a mix of tender beef, gooey cheese and slippery onions. It looks the part too, with orange tinted sauce running through pale melted cheese over dark, browned steak.
The Spicy Angus Cheesesteak calories figure puts it in the hearty lunch range, and it backs that up with 39 grams of protein. Bigger appetites usually move up to the Half Pound Spicy Angus Cheesesteak, which loads a half pound of that steak under identical toppings.
This sandwich makes sense for anyone who finds the classic cheesesteak a little tame, for a late lunch that needs to carry you to dinner, or for splitting with a side when you are not that hungry. It sits on the Arby's cheesesteak menu alongside chicken versions, and it is also part of the current limited time lineup. Our price figure reflects one Austin, Texas store, and your local Arby's sets its own.
What makes it stand out is balance. Plenty of spicy fast food sandwiches rely on heat alone, but the onions and Cooper cheese give this one a sweet, creamy counterweight, and the Angus beef has enough savory depth to stand up to all of it.
Cool things down with a vanilla shake, or lean into the heat with an order of Jalapeno Bites on the side.

How to Make Spicy Angus Cheesesteak at Home?
A home Spicy Angus Cheesesteak takes about half an hour once the beef is sliced. Partly freezing the steak lets you shave it paper thin with a regular chef's knife, and a quick stir together sauce supplies the heat. The quantities below make four sandwiches.

Assembly
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade Spicy Angus Cheesesteak.
Tips
- • Most butcher counters will shave ribeye on request, which saves the trip to the freezer.
- • Work in two batches if your pan is smaller than 12 inches; crowded beef steams instead of searing.
- • Make the sauce up to three days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.
Variations
- • Add a chopped chipotle in adobo to the sauce for a smoky heat.
- • Swap the white American for pepper jack to double up on spice.
- • Pile the beef, onions and cheese over rice for a low bread bowl.
Serving Ideas
Serve with curly fries or a crisp coleslaw to cool the heat. A cold lemonade or a vanilla milkshake balances the spicy sauce well.
