Arby’s is known for its roast beef but is now taking a run at a Philadelphia favorite.
The new angus cheesesteaks arrived on menus Monday, June 23, at participating Arby’s restaurants nationwide, according to the Atlanta-based sandwich chain.
The limited-time entree features thin-sliced angus steak, white American cheese, roasted onions and peppers and a garlic spread all served on a toasted roll, Arby’s website says.

Customers can order the sandwich as a meal or standalone item, though pricing information wasn’t immediately available.
McClatchy News reached out to Arby’s for more information and was awaiting a response.
“This is comfort food upgraded with the premium meats that make Arby’s stand out from the rest,” Jeff Baker, chief marketing officer at Arby’s, said in a news release.
Cheesesteaks are having a moment, with rivals Jersey Mike’s and Subway serving their own versions of the classic hot sandwich. In January, Zaxby’s brought back its chicken Philly, filled with a trio of fried chicken “fingerz,” for a limited time.
Arby’s angus cheesesteak is available in-store and online for a limited time, though the restaurant chain didn’t say for how long.
