What is Your Recipe for Philly Cheese Steak — I Assume that is THE Obvious Game Meal

[HIT BY SPIKES]

What kind of Steak?

 

What kind of Cheese?

 

What kind of Bread?

 

Condiments?

 

[TheFunPolice]

For steak use the best deli roast beef you can get 

 

To clarify, you obviously cook it up with peppers, onions and mushrooms then melt the cheese of your choice right into it... Cheddar and swiss blend is our favorite. Mayo on the toasted roll 

 

We also add spinach to the mix, again cooked right in with everything

Ribeye, provolone, caramelized onions, bread that's hard on the outside and squishy inside, mayo, hot cherry peppers and hot sauce.

 

That's the way.

There was a bar here that served The Stinger, which was a steak sub with cut up chicken fingers doused in hot Country Sweet sauce and topped the whole thing with blue cheese. I believe it was named after the sting you felt in your chest after eating one.

I have been making Phillies for awhile but never feel like I get the meat the way I want. So do you just cut it super thin? 
 

Anybody else have meat suggestions? I usually go with shaved beef.

This is close to right. 

Fried onions (a slightly different thing than carmelized onions).  And if you want the true Philly experience, you have to find a way to acquire some Amoroso rolls. Every top cheesesteak place in philly uses these.  They have some magically property. (Philadelphia is my second home my whole life. Almost my entire family still lives there. American Cheese or certain home made cheese whiz's are legit substitutes for provolone. note- the rib-eye should be shaved.

Ribeye just has great flavor. I almost never do it - but it's good to freeze it a little so you can cut it as thin as possible.  But yeah, thin is best.

This is like advising someone to use steakums to make a beef on weck.

Ask the butcher to slice a ribeye for steak sandwhichs.  Most butchers will do it correctly.

How about some mushrooms in there for good measure? I think the roll you want is ciabatta.

 

Mine is very similar:

Ribeye with salt pepper garlic powder, grilled, thin sliced then salted again after rest.

Ciabatta roll, garlic buttered and then browned on the grill.

Saute baby bella mushrooms and onions 

Add steak, mushrooms/onions bottom of grilled roll, melt and lightly brown cheese under broiler.

Add a light coat of Peter Lugers steak sauce to top of roll.

Combine and then eat until you feel like you are gonna throw up.

I think it was Tops a few years back that sold Red Osier Roast Beef in the deli. I've made them with that before and they were outstanding.

Not really...

 

A top quality roast beef sliced thin is perfect for a cheese steak

Exactly!  It's a roast chunk of beef! 

 

Unlike the frozen steak ums that are full of fat and grease and have no taste

this is just wrong. It may make for a wonderful sandwhich. You would not be able to sell it anywhere in or around philadelphia delaware or south jersey as a cheesesteak.

However you make a cheese steak is going to be good. But try Cooper sharp white American cheese next time you make one. It's great.

Bam!  End thread.

My only issue is I can't cut the ribeye thin enough.  Suggestions?

Sometimes it's good to add fresh lettuce & tomato, too.

In philly, this is equivalent of putting ranch dressing on wings in buffalo. 

Anyone looking for a good philly sandwhich alternative to a cheesesteak, the less well know philly italian pork sandwhich is also outstanding.

I take it, dice it up and cook with the veggies and cheese.

 

You're probably right about not being able to sell it in Philly, and I'm always open to learn a better recipe and improve!
