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 

The best cheesesteak I have ever eaten was at a place in Reading.

Shaved steak. Salt-n-pepa. 
 

Wiz - wit. 
 

Here’s the game changer … hear me out … Miracle Whip. 
 

You’ll thank me later. 
 

This is thanks to @CountryCletus  

Try the Whip with cheddar dogs, super underrated condiment.

We can talk all we want about Philly Cheese Steaks  (I miss them so much here in NZ) but... on gameday it's Buffalo Rochester food.

 

(However, I think it was my wife that lost us that Jaguars game, when I came home to see that she made Ranch dressing because we didn't have any Blue Cheese in the house.)

To be clear ranch is a delicious salad dressing and dipping sauce, it just has no place near Buffalo wings...

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.

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

No, that's probably the better quality version at a fraction of the cost.

Provolone will do, but the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever eaten have had Cooper sharp american.  It’s got the creamy sweetness of American, but also aged for a bit of sharpness.  Very nice 👍 

 

That said, the whiz is not terrible with quality chopped ribeye, a solid roll, and some sautéed onions, IMO.

Because it thoroughly integrates with the meat

Those 8 thick pork chops have now been marinating at the back of the fridge since Tuesday or Wednesday Morning with a flip every morning.

 

I think I will grill them up this Afternoon and put them in the fridge for thin slicing tomorrow.

 

Resisting buying the bread today and will go tomorrow morning for fresh bread at 4 Italian bakeries.

 

2 buns at each.

 

8 different kinds of buns to go with the 8 pork chops.

 

I wonder if I should fry up the Rabe today so it can marinate over night with all of the garlic I am frying it with?

So I did it all when I realized I had enough pork for 8 big sangwhitches.

 

Unbelievably delicious.

 

I get now what the fried rabe with garlic adds to the recipe.

 

I have 8 different fresh buns.

 

I began with the dense Portuguese.

 

i am going to have another for supper and perhaps a third as a late snackotch.

No doubt about it.

 

The sharp provolone I carved from a block really makes it.

 

Cheesewhiz is for peasants.

On a more important note, should we eat our opponents food?

 

I like clam chowder and lobster rolls but I’m not eating them when we play the Pats.


When I eat opponents food I also fart with vigour and purpose.

 

I pretend I am farting in the face of the opponent’s QB or crop dusting their entire sideline of coaches, players and staff.

 

There….does that make you feel better?
