These sandwiches are delicious. I purchase steak that has been sliced for making stir-fry, which takes a little less time, but achieves the same results.

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!

  • Add sauteed onions on top of melted cheese and top sandwich with other half of hoagie roll. (If using condiments, add before placing split roll on top.).

EMERIL'S PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH



Emeril's Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich image

I'm not claiming this is an authentic Philly Cheese Steak, I chose this to simulate my favorite cheese steak sub at Sapore di Mare. Elsewhere (and not elsewhere on Recipezaar.com) people have been puzzled why the oven would need to be preheated to 200F; why, it is only to warm up the sandwich rolls! Purists will use only Cheese Whiz, but I will always use Provolone. I love an accent of "hots" on my sub, preferably Sun of Italy "Hot Chopped Peppers"; sliced pepperoncini or banana peppers also work well. I favor sweet onions, so I added them as an option to Emeril's recipe. Also, a half and half mixture of olive oil and butter is heavenly; but if using a nonstick pan, no fat is really needed. To slice the rib-eye, pound it thin, roll it tightly and wrap in wax paper, freeze 10 minutes, then slice thinly. Personally, I would never dream of using ketchup on this sandwich, although I might try a bit of marinara sauce to make this an Italian cheese steak sandwich. Although most people would threaten me if I gave them half a sandwich, I believe that is the correct size for 1 nutritional serving.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH AS IT SHOULD BE MADE... AUTHENTIC!



Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich As It Should Be Made... Authentic! image

It's so simple & easy for the life of me I don't know why our local restaurants can't get it right, the key is the Ribeye and the Cheez Whiz, if you veer off that course it won't taste right. In answer to Alan's review I beg to differ! I just watched a show that followed the making of these great sandwiches at both Pat's & Geno's and guess what?! The Provolone was added after the fact because of customer requests, not the Authentic cheese!!! Pat invented the sandwich and uses Cheez Whiz -- not slamming Alan but I got it from the source so do try the sandwich, you'll absolutely LOVE it! I use butter because that adds a depth of flavor you don't get with the olive oil. Use what you like!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb rib eye steak, sliced wafer thin
1 large onion, sliced very thin
18 ounces Cheez Whiz
3 tablespoons butter
4 hoagie rolls

Steps:

  • Have your butcher slice a thick ribeye into slices as thin as he (or she) can. If you like the original (Pat's) chop the slices into bite sized pieces. If you like Geno's then don't chop.
  • Start a double boiler up & place the cheez whiz in it to warm up, if you can't find that size just any squeeze bottle will do as long as it's cheez whiz, that's the important part.
  • Place onions in some butter on a griddle or in a large skillet and cook until nicely carmelized.
  • Scootch them over & add beef, turn once browned, when done just scootch them over to cook the rest of the meat. You don't want to overlap the meat while it's cooking.
  • Place a nice heap of the beef onto a hoagie roll, no need to warm the roll, it's positively awesome as is, add a good heap of the onions & slather with the cheese whiz. That's it! Enjoy the hell out of it, these are SO DARNED GOOD! Trust me, it was the hit of our little super bowl party -- .

SLOW COOKER PHILLY STEAK SANDWICH MEAT



Slow Cooker Philly Steak Sandwich Meat image

This makes a fantastic meat for Philly steak sandwiches. You can even use lower grade roasts and have this turn out. It also makes its own au jus if you like to dip as I do. To serve, sautee a sliced onion and sliced green pepper in a skillet. Put meat on a sub bun and top with onion and green pepper and Swiss or provolone cheese on top of that. Leave open-faced and broil until the cheese just starts to brown. The top of the bun will brown fast so don't broil that until the cheese has completely melted and just starts to show color.
