Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 large yellow skinned onions, sliced very thin
Coarse salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 drizzles
1 1/2 pounds lean beef tenderloin or sirloin, ask butcher to slice the meat very thin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices provolone cheese, from the deli counter
4 soft Italian sandwich hogie rolls, split 6 to 8 inches long each, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add onions and season with salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until onions are soft and caramel in color.
  • Heat a heavy griddle pan over medium high to high heat. Wipe griddle with a drizzle of oil using a paper towel. Sear and cook thin sliced steaks until brown but not crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Cook steaks in single layers in 2 batches and tenderize by cutting into meat with the side of your spatula while they cook. When the steaks are browned, just before you remove them from heat, sprinkle them with garlic salt and pepper. When all of the steaks are cooked, line each of your split rolls with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Pile 1/4 of your meat and onions on to the griddle and mix together with your spatula. Pile the meat and onions into rolls on top of the cheese. The heat from the meat and onions will melt the cheese. Repeat for remaining servings and serve.

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.

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.

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.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH



Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich image

DELICIOUS! This is by far a wonderful sandwich when you are craving onions, melting cheese and steak! Very EASY preparation. Provolone cheese is the only kind to use in making this sandwich. I have used thinly sliced ribeye steak with success, but have listed deli roast beef in this recipe. We prefer mayonnaise and mustard as condiments to this sandwich which enhance the flavor. Note: In my area we have a restaurant named J. Michael's Philly Deli. This recipe is similar to his version and it's darn good!
