PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))



Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic))) image

I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this was my favorite lunch at the luncheonettes (sandwich shops). Places throughout the rest of the Country that claim to make Philly Cheese Steaks just do not get them to taste the same, and one of the reasons is that they do not use extra-virgin olive oil. Anyone who says that Pat's and Gino's in South Philly uses Cheez Wiz, is talking about the way they make it now. The old authentic way uses Provolone Cheese. Also, using deli roast beef is the same as using top round sliced wafer thin or frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer. I was born in 1942 and this is the way they were made way back then. We are talking about authentic, not the way they are made now. If you make any changes with the ingredients or the directions, it will not be the same. Make it EXACTLY as written here.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large hoagie rolls or 2 large sub rolls
1/2 lb deli roast beef (very rare, sliced wafer thin, or you can use a frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer, wh)
1 white onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced) (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
extra virgin olive oil (for grilling)
salt and pepper
marinara sauce (optional topping) or ketchup (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
  • Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
  • Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
  • Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
  • Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
  • If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
  • Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
  • When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.

MICHAEL'S FAMOUS PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH



Michael's Famous Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich image

The secrets of a great cheese steak are the quality of the ingredients and the thinness of the raw beef. The beef is best cut into paper-thin slices on an electric slicer. If an electric slicer is out of the question (many home kitchen stores sell these small machines inexpensively), try our method below to achieve similar results.

Provided by Michael Lomonaco

Categories     Beef     Cheese     Onion     Pepper     Sauté

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds top round steak
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion
4-6 bell peppers, any color
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
N/A Salt
N/A pepper
1/4 pound sharp provolone cheese, thinly sliced
4 to 6 soft hero rolls or hoagie rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Tightly roll the eye round steak into a torpedo or log shape. Wrap tightly in plastic. Place log in freezer for 45 minutes to firm the beef into a tight but not frozen texture.
  • 2. Remove plastic, and working quickly, use an electric knife to slice the beef into paper-thin strips, almost shaving the beef. If this does not work well, use a sharp knife and cut the beef into the thinnest slices possible, then flatten the slices using a meat tenderizer. Refrigerate slices until ready to cook.
  • 3. Peel and halve onion. Slice into paper-thin half moon pieces. Halve the peppers, remove and discard seeds, and then slice into thick wedges.
  • 4. Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until caramelized and softened, stirring frequently. Do not allow them to brown. Transfer onions to bowl; add pepper to same skillet, still over low heat. Cook peppers 10 to 15 minutes, until soft and tender, flipping often. Transfer to bowl with onions. Season onion-pepper mixture to taste. Cover bowl to keep warm.
  • 5. In a clean skillet, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook the beef in 2 batches, until lightly browned and cooked through, stirring often. Add olive oil if necessary.
  • 6. To serve: Pile beef strips, peppers and onions and cheese slices inside a hero roll.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 pound frozen sirloin steak, partially thawed (or freeze fresh sirloin for 45 minutes)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 large or 2 small yellow onions, sliced with the grain

  • Heat the oil in heavy saute pan (such as cast iron) over medium heat. Cook the onions and peppers until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until all the vegetables are soft and golden, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Remove the vegetables to a plate and add a splash more oil to the pan. Raise the heat to medium-high. Cook the meat quickly in the hot pan, browning on both sides. Once brown, reduce the heat to low and mix together the vegetables and beef. Add the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and American cheese, and stir until creamy and well incorporated. Split open the hoagie rolls and place on a baking sheet. Divide the beef mixture among the rolls and top with the mozzarella cheese. Broil until the cheese begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes.

STEAK AND CHEDDAR GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES RECIPE BY TASTY



Steak And Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipe by Tasty image

This is the ultimate grilled cheese! Slices of perfectly cooked flank steak are layered between cheddar cheese and sandwiched between two slices of sourdough bread, then pan-fried in butter for a flavorful crunch! Serve with sweet and salty pickled carrots for a briny crunch.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorn
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
4 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch (1.24 cm) wide sticks
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1 ¼ cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 oz flank steak
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices sourdough bread
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, the peppercorns, red pepper flakes, carrots, garlic, shallot, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring to dissolve the salt, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. (If not using immediately, transfer the carrots and their brine to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.)
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  • Season the steak with salt and pepper. Transfer to the skillet and cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown on the outside and medium-rare inside, 6-8 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add 2 slices of sourdough bread. Top each slice with ½ cup shredded cheddar, and cook, undisturbed, until the bread is golden brown and toasted on the bottom and the cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes. Divide the sliced steak between each slice of bread in the skillet, then top each with ½ cup of the remaining cheese and another slice of bread. Flip the sandwiches, cover the pan with a lid, and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the other side of the bread is golden brown and toasted, 2-3 minutes more.
  • Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and wrap each in foil. Serve with the pickled carrots alongside.
  • Enjoy!
