I've been craving a good, no GREAT cheesesteak sandwich since the recipe thread about a month ago. I've ordered a few from restaurants only to be incredibly disappointed. It's sad because only a little more effort and you can make a substandard sandwich into a carnal food experience. Sadly the closest thing to scratching my itch was Jersey Mike's Big Kahuna which is actually very good.

Today's lunch -

About 12 oz of Ribeye, sliced thin across the grain. Seasoned with salt and pepper and brought to room temp while the veggies cook.



One Green Bell Pepper, one Yellow Onion, 8 oz sliced mini portobello shrooms. Sliced into bite size pieces and cooked down in a hot cast iron pan in olive oil.



Cook them thoroughly. When they begin to carmelize, throw in some flavored sauce and cover. . I used s diluted worsteshire (~ 5-1 water) only because I didn't have any Dale's. Whatever you like. Help steam and flavor.

Toss in the ribeye , stir and cook. Only takes a few minutes.




Throw in more flavor sauce. Once the pink is about gone, throw in your cheese. I used about 10 oz of a Swiss and Guyere mix. Stir and cover, repeat.



Melt good while your buttered hoagie toasts. I used a pretzel roll because that is the closest thing I could find to a hoagie at Trader Joe's. Pile it on and enjoy with the beverage of your choice.








Don't be stingy with the chees. I thought I had maybe overdone it but it was perfect. The cheese keeps the whole thing glued together and easy to eat, not to mention TASTY! After all, it's a cheesesteak, not a steakcheese.

Screw the cheese whiz and low grade meat. Yours looks fantastic. I'll be right over!

A classic combination of ingredients. Sounds and looks delicious!

Yowzers!

I was inspired by the prior thread a few weeks ago to order a cheesesteak sandwich when my son and I went to a local restaurant. What a disappointment! Virtually flavorless.

This has real possibilities!

I'd planned on some leftover bean soup and a salad for supper. That somehow seems woefully inadequate now.

That looks like pure heaven. That surely needed some protection.

Whoa, that looks good!

Forgot to add I took out about 1/3 of the veggie mix prepared.

Thanks for deciding what is for dinner tonight. Woman has left for the store. Excited!

Mmmmm.

Nicely done.
Very envious.

Is that the Marzy version with real ribeye?

LOVE the fact you used cast iron!

PERFECTION!

I picked up on the Dale's tip from your video, didn't have that so I improvised. Thought about using beer too.

Beautiful effort slicing the meat!

Sometimes I dig out some of the bread inside the roll, like a dug-out canoe.

Oh wow!!!

It was delicious!

Looks delicious!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but there are a few things that I'm an unrepentant purist about. Cheesesteak happens to be one of them.

Cheese WITH!
