I need a Philly Cheesesteak Recipe
The craving is intense and I need to make one that's really good.

What you got?!

Y'know how when you order these things at restaurants or food stands, the beef is super super thin and almost all chopped-up-like? That's what I want.

It needs to be oozing with cheese and I'm thinking mayo or perhaps a garlic-mayo as well. Served piping hot.

UPDATE: 8 months later, and I finally made one!

And it was amazing.

I used thiny sliced beef from Trader Joe’s, green bell pepper, sweet onion, two slices of provolone cheese, and a slice of Colby-jack (just because).













It was EXACTLY what I needed. I think I might make another one tomorrow.

I'm kind of a mayo whore. I'm talking like just enough to know it's there.

If quality meat isn't available, use steakumms, fry up some onions & green peppers, use whatever cheese you prefer (I'm a provolone guy myself), add in some mayo & pepper, throw it all on a sub roll, and you're good to go.

Here's mine. I always cook my steaks med rare, and cook bigger ones because they are easier, means there is always leftovers.

I take the leftovers and slice them as thin as I possibly can. Then I take peppers and onions and sauté (if you can call it that) them on med to med-hi on stove top using very little vegetable oil (don't use oil with low smoke point). This is way hotter than a sauté, cook enough till you start to see some blackening around the edges.

Turn it up to HI and throw the meat in as soon as you see the slight blackening on vegies. Cook until you see the meat turn from redish to well done. Serve immediately.

I will slightly toast buns put mayo on one side of the bread (both if you are a mayo fan) and cover both slightly toasted halves with cheese. Put that back in the toaster oven with it off and it will finish melting the cheese. I use whatever cheese I have laying around, usually a mix that one part of it is either American or very mild cheddar. I start toasting the rolls in the middle of the veggie cooking time.

Not a Philly Cheese Steak recipe, but a damn good way use leftover steaks.

I actually made a silly update post in the what's your deal Follow up on threads. Got step by step pics for you. That time when I made it, I cut the peppers/onions very small cubes so I added meat first.

Get your butcher to slice RibEye paper thin.

A proper Philly cheesesteak only consists of steak, onions and either cheesewiz/mozzarella/provolone. The use of a correct steak roll is also important. Suitable steak rolls are NOT sliced all the way through, but cut like a hot dog bun.

Anything else is for tourists and/or unwashed mouthbreathers from Joisey.Smile





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

In the same vein- How about a sausage and peppers recipe like they made on the Seaside NJ Boardwalk?

John's Roast Pork, Oregon Steaks, Jim's on south street, or if you find yourself in the north east, Steve's Steaks is my favorite.

Or you could make a day of trying them all Wink

I'm trying the way he finishes them off. I like the gooey cheese mix idea, and thing with the foil and oven would make for nice crispy outside and soft inside.

He said he uses flank or flat iron steaks. If you make at home and don't use thinly sliced ribeye (better choice) use the flat iron. It's a much more tender cut of meat. When you slice it across the grain it's perfect for something like this.

Tony Luke's is also excellent, and if you're in the suburbs, pudges is amazing.

Actually I always ask for mayo on my cheesesteak hoagies here in the Philly area. An ultra-delicious melding of the best of both worlds, a cheesesteak hoagie with mayo, lettuce, tomato, raw onion and hot and sweet(pickled) peppers is the best thing ever.

Whiz is kind of a tourist trap thing. A good cheesesteak has white American or provolone on it, I prefer American.
