The "frita cheesesteak" sandwich is a mouthwatering combination of tender flavorful beef, melted cheese and grilled onions nestled in a soft and chewy bun. Originating from the bustling streets of Miami, Florida, the "frita" patty is a savory concoction of ground beef, spices and Worcestershire sauce, grilled to perfection. Whether you prefer the classic combination of American cheese, or opt for a more adventurous blend of gooey mozzarella and tangy provolone, the melted cheese adds a rich and creamy layer to this taste sensation. The grilled onions add a sweet and savory depth of flavor, caramelizing slightly as they cook.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan or griddle, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute, and then add the onions, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook the onions until caramelized, stirring throughout the process, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
- Spread the softened butter on the interiors of the rolls and cook, butter-side down, on a griddle until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the rolls, add the raw steak to the griddle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook briefly, shredding the meat into small pieces with two metal spatulas. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes.
- Portion the meat into four piles, and top each pile with 3 slices of the provolone. Continue to cook until the cheese melts (putting on the lid and adding a little water to the pan can help with this step). Cover each pile with a browned roll, and slide a spatula under the meat to pick it up with the roll.
PHILLY CHEESE STEAK
It's hard to think of Philadelphia without thinking of the cheesesteak, a sandwich containing chopped steak, melted cheese and sometimes peppers and onions. The big cheese steak debate, ongoing between rival restaurants Pat's and Geno's, is whether the steak should be topped with Provolone or American cheese, or canned cheese whiz. Bobby Flay's loaded cheese steak recipe is topped with a melted Provolone sauce, onions, peppers and mushrooms.

Steps:
- Place steak in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes; this makes it easier to slice the meat. Remove the meat from the freezer and slice very thinly.
- Heat griddle or grill pan over high heat. Brush steak slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds per side.
- Place several slices of the meat on the bottom half of the roll, spoon some of the cheese sauce over the meat, and top with the mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper.
- Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
- Heat the oil in medium saute pan over high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK
My Philadelphia-born friend is so devoted to her city's most famous sandwich that the first thing she did after her big fancy wedding was to head, gown and all, to her favorite local spot for a cheesesteak to end the night. On a recent visit, I comparison-shopped the cheesesteak sandwich shop. Here's my standard order: onions, whiz (i.e., Cheez Whiz), provolone, and giardiniera -- the pickled vegetables perk up the whole meaty, cheesy business. Regardless of where you buy it, everything starts with the vigorous chopping and flipping spatulas cutting through the frying beef a-sizzle on the flattop. Beyond that, the rest is personalized. Add the whiz? provolone? onions? peppers? giardiniera? You better know what you want before you step up to the counter.

Steps:
- To make slicing it easier, freeze the beef for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat a double-burner griddle or two large skillets over medium-high heat. Thinly slice the meat against the grain.
- Toss the onions in a bowl with the oil and put them on the griddle. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent. Push the onions to the back of the griddle.
- Place the beef on the griddle and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until no pink remains. Stir the onions into the beef and chop the beef mixture into bite-size pieces with the side of a metal spatula.
- Divide the beef and onions between the hoagie rolls. Top with the provolone and cheese sauce. Serve immediately, topped with giardiniera, if desired.

Steps:
- Place the ribeye in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Slice the hoagie rolls open on a cutting board, making sure not to slice all the way through. Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on the cut sides of each roll.
- Remove the ribeye from the freezer and thinly slice against the grain.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil, then the sliced ribeye, to the same pan and season with the salt and pepper. Cook, without disturbing, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Stir the beef to cook the other side and continue until the ribeye is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.
- Add the onions back to the pan and stir to combine. Lay the Provolone over the ribeye mixture and cook, without moving, until melted, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the ribeye mixture to the buttered hoagie rolls and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
"TORTA RUSTICA"
Steps:
- Spray a 10 inch springform pan with non-stick spray. Roll one loaf of bread dough into circle large enough to fit in bottom and up sides of pan. If dough is too elastic to work with, let it rest a few minutes and try again. Press rolled dough onto bottom and sides of pan. Arrange layers of cheeses, meats and peppers in first 1/3 of pan. Add prepared omelet layer (see note), then more cheese, peppers and meats, then the drained spinach. Press ingredients down firmly as you go. Add more meats and cheeses until level with top of pan, pressing down firmly. Roll remaining loaf of dough into circle to fit top of torta. Pinch dough together at sides and brush with egg white mixture. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour or until bread is golden and pulls away from sides of pan slightly. Cool completely before removing from pan. Cut into wedges to serve. FOOTNOTES: Using three beaten eggs, salt, pepper and spices to taste, make a thin omlette, remembering to keep it about the size and shape of your springform pan. Cool slightly.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Frita Cheesesteak.
- Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness, so that it's still juicy and flavorful.
- Use a hoagie roll that is soft and fluffy. This will help to absorb the juices from the beef and cheese.
- Be generous with the cheese. The more cheese, the better!
- Add your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, and bacon.
- Serve the Frita Cheesesteak hot and fresh. This is the best way to enjoy it!
Conclusion:
The Frita Cheesesteak is a delicious and iconic sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a satisfying meal, give the Frita Cheesesteak a try!
