 歷史 
根據一本1987年費城圖書館公司（Library Company of Philadelphia）出版的展覽目錄以及費城歷史學會（Historical Society of Pennsylvania）表示，費城牛肉起士三明治發源自20世紀初期，「在一小條麵包上添加香煎牛肉、洋蔥和起司」。Hines, Mary Anne; Marshall, Gordon; Weaver, William Woys (1987).

費城居民，帕特與哈利（Pat and Harry Olivieri）常被認為是費城牛肉起士三明治的發明者，他們在1930年早期，販售一種碎牛肉夾入義大利麵包做成的三明治。Stuhldreher, Katie. "Rick's Steaks takes Reading Terminal Market dispute to court". Philly.com.

Retrieved 30 July 2007.但實際上仍有爭議，帕特和哈利原本經營一個熱狗攤，某天他們做了一種加碎牛肉和烤洋蔥的新款三明治。確切的故事眾說紛紜，但據其中一種說法，帕特正在吃這個三明治的時候，一個計程車司機剛好路過，而且對這個三明治很有興趣，所以也點了一份。吃過以後，計程車司機建議他們不要再賣熱狗，只賣新的三明治就好了。Ivory, Karen (2011). Philadelphia Icons: 50 Classic Views of the City of Brotherly Love. Globe Pequot. p. 18. ISBN 0762767650.於是位於費城南邊義大利市場附近的熱狗攤，就開始販賣這種牛排三明治。他們生意越來越好，帕特之後就開了名為Pat's King of Steaks的餐廳，至今仍在營業。Epting, Chris (2009). The Birthplace Book: A Guide to Birth Sites of Famous People, Places, & Things. Stackpole Books. ISBN 0811740188.原本的三明治不含起司；店家表示：最先把波羅伏洛起司加進三明治的人是店址還在瑞吉大道（Ridge Avenue）時，一位名為Joe "Cocky Joe" Lorenza的經理。Fiorillo, Victor (15 December 2008). "The Cheesesteak Cometh".
