pork is probably easier and cheaper. Pork with provolone and broccoli rabe is a classic in the city.

I suggested that and posted a link to a recipe on the first page of thread. An excellent sandwhich.

If you are in philly and committed to going outside of the cheeseteak box, here is the ultimate:


 

I'm not the biggest Barclay fan. It's not a bad steak, but for the price tag you can find something better in Passyunk. Sadly, the pandemic wiped out my favorite place.

The price tag is absurd.  What was your favorite place?

Serpico. The head chef was a Momofuku alum who was lured down to Philly. It was relatively unpretentious, a small 30 seater with an open kitchen you could sit at a bar at. The things that remain seared in my memory is a pasta dish that was homemade pasta, basil, sausage, pecorino and chicken skin and a smoked duck leg sausage. Sadly, seating guidelines killed the business model and the chef got circulated through the restaurant group before leaving.

Ribeye, Montreal Steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce. Sautéed onions and mushrooms. Whiz and mayo. Hoagie roll toasted.

 

IMO, the best sandwich from Philly is the Roast Pork with broccoli rabe. My favorite is from Tony & Nick’s (the original Tony Luke’s). John’s is good, but the staff is extremely rude. DiNic’s in the Reading Terminal market is decent, but nowhere near as good as the one from Tony & Nick’s.

That's philly, baby!

 

Rude, crude and full of attitude

Instant ramen with a boil egg and McDonald's chicken nuggets for the meat to make it a classy meal.  I eat the nuggets first because that's when they are the crispiest.

That looks amazing.

 

If you could find a way to work wings into that, it would the culinary equivalent of the holy trinity.

is it sacrilegious to just go to a Jersey Mikes and buy one hence no dishes and at least decent Philly cheese steak. Thoughts?

maybe  buying a philly sandwich from a company from New Jersey is itself sacrilegious 🤭

 

haha

Jersey Mikes is better than anything I could come up with at home. And, it's just me so the cost and time comparison for one sandwich seals the deal.

as an aside, that website you linked to— Woks of Life— is one of my go-to recipe site.  I love eating and cooking Chinese food. I make hot and sour soup based on their recipe, and when I gave some of that soup to some of my friends who are from China, they said it was authentic and outstanding. 

My wife just got a HexClad wok from her son as an early Christmas present and I will tell her about this site. Thanks!

Best cheese steak is in New Jersey. Break all the rules: put it on a Kaiser. Chop ribeye ends. American cheese. Load with caramelized onions. 

I know Donkeys when I see it 

Hit up Reading Terminal and grab a Carmen’s cheesesteak and a Dinics roast beef. That’s living

What I do is not "authentic", but I don't care because it tastes better. If you don't want to spring for ribeye and happen to live near an asian market, they'll usually have presliced frozen beef like this that's used for bulgogi, hotpot, strif fry etc. It works excellently for a cheesesteak. just slice it into strips and you're good to go.

I carmelize onions which takes about 40 minutes and in a separate pan I'll do peppers, mushrooms, and spicy cherry peppers (like I said, not authentic, but definitely better to me) and then I'll deglaze them with some vermouth. I like Costanzos rolls when I can get them, but anything with some chew should work. I split them open and toast just lightly enough on the oven to get a little crisp on the outside of the roll - it's very easy to go too far on this.

Your beef will only take a couple minutes to come together. I use beef tallow as my fat which adds a lot more beefy flavor and season with salt pepper and garlic powder. Create a pile for each sandwich and mix in your veggies, add provolone on top and steam with a dash of water and a lid for your pan. Then just toss your open roll (with whatever condiments you like. I'm a fan of Sandwhich Pal Horseradish) on the pile and use a long turner/spatula to scoop under the whole thing and flip it over. the cheese will be inside the roll instead of on top in this version, but it's the best method I've found.

Note the example below is an early version where I didn't use the carmelized onions (sauteed instead) and I didn't add the cherry peppers either.

Bam!  End thread.

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

freeze it slightly or buy it pre-sliced (what I do)

[HIT BY SPIKES]

Got 8 thick pork chops I trimmed out and have marinating until Sunday.

 

Will Grill.

 

The last ingredient is the Italian Bread which I will buy fresh on Sunday Morning.

 

2 each from 4 Italian Bakeries all with a mile from me.

 

Yes I get this meat will be too thick to simply slap on a bun so I will thinly slice after grilling.

 

Weather permitting Big Green Egg.

 

I have red, yellow and orange sweet peppers plus a huge Sweet Onion.

You got the rabe and provolone?
