Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons bacon fat (or butter (Note 1))
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups milk (Note 2)
½ cup 4oz grated Provolone cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hoagie rolls
4 tablespoons butter (or mayo)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil, divided)
½ white onion (chopped, optional, (Note 3))
½ green bell pepper (diced, optional)
½ red bell pepper (diced, optional)
1.5 lbs 675gr thinly sliced ribeye steak, or top sirloin steak (Note 4)
1 garlic clove (pressed)
½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
8 slices Provolone cheese

Steps:

  • To make provolone sauce, melt bacon fat (or butter) in a medium saucepan over medium heat. (If using butter, let the butter to cook for 30 seconds or so to evaporate water. It should bubble up, but don't let the butter brown.)
  • Add flour and cook the flour, stirring continuously, for no more than 2 minutes, or until flour turns slightly golden color. (This's called white roux, which will thicken the cheese sauce and make it nice and smooth.)
  • Slowly pour in milk into the roux, while whisking the mixture continuously. Once all the milk is added, cook it for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Whisk until cheese is fully melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To prepare the rolls, slice hoagie rolls ¾ way and smear 1 tablespoon of butter, or mayo inside of each roll.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Place the rolls cut-side down on hot skillet and toast until nice and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • To cook the vegetables, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet you toasted the roll. When oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell peppers and cook until nice and soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer onto a small plate.
  • To cook the meat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium high heat. Add the sliced steaks, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat is fully cooked, no more than 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and divide the meat into 4 equal parts in the skillet. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over each steak piles. Let it melt for a minute or so. Then place toasted hoagie roll on each steak pile. Slide a spatula under the meat and flip the sandwiches one at a time.
  • Serve immediately with provolone cheese sauce.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK



Philly Cheese Steak image

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.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 to 2 1/2 pound strip loin, trimmed
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Soft hoagie rolls, split 3/4 open
Provolone Sauce, recipe follows
Sauteed Mushrooms, recipe follows
Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
Sauteed Peppers, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, heated
1 cup grated aged provolone cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms (cremini and shiitake), coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoons canola oil
3 large Spanish onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 poblano peppers, thinly sliced
2 Cubano peppers, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

CHEESESTEAKS WITH PROVOLONE AND AMERICAN CHEESE AND SAUTéED PEPPER AND ONIONS



Cheesesteaks with Provolone and American Cheese and Sautéed Pepper and Onions image

Look for short ribs with the most marbling possible for these cheesesteaks; if you really want to splash out, use boneless rib eye.

Provided by Brad Leone

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 large red and/or green bell peppers, seeds removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar
4 pounds boneless beef short ribs
8 (10-inch-long) Italian sub rolls
Vegetable oil (for griddle)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
10 ounces white or yellow American cheese slices (about 16)
10 ounces mild or sharp provolone slices (about 16)
Ketchup and/or hot sauce (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add onions and bell peppers and season generously with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring often at first then only occasionally as vegetables soften, adjusting heat as needed and adding a splash or so of water if vegetables are browning too quickly, until golden brown and very tender, 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat, add vinegar, and give everything a good stir. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Place short ribs on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze, uncovered, until firm around the edges but still yielding in the center, 45-60 minutes.
  • Cut short ribs in half crosswise, then lengthwise into very thin slices. (It's better to have thinner, less-regular slices than thick, even slices. Either way, don't stress; whatever you do will be more than fine.) Divide meat into 8 portions (about 8 oz. each), using sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap as dividers.
  • Slice bread in half lengthwise, keeping a long side intact. Heat a large griddle across 2 burners over medium-a flick of water should sizzle on contact. (Or use a large cast-iron skillet and cook 1 portion at a time.) Lightly coat griddle with oil. Place 2 portions of meat (about 1 lb.) on griddle; season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, pressing down and pulling slices apart using 2 metal spatulas, until halfway cooked through (you should still see some raw spots). Scoot meat into 2 oblong portions no more than 1" high and top with some onion-bell pepper mixture. Top with 2 slices American cheese and 2 slices provolone cheese per pile. Cook, undisturbed, until meat is browned and crisp underneath and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Transfer each portion to a roll; slice in half crosswise. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve topped as desired.
  • Vegetables can be cooked 3 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill. Reheat before assembling sandwiches. Meat can be sliced 1 day ahead (it will start to oxidize after that); cover tightly and chill, or freeze up to 1 week and thaw before cooking. Sandwiches can be made 20 minutes ahead; immediately wrap in parchment paper, then foil.

PROVOLONE SAUCE FOR CHEESESTEAKS



Provolone Sauce for Cheesesteaks image

This recipe is from Bobby Flay's Throwdown. He went up against Tony Luke and lost, but this sauce sounds very tasty. I love provolone on my cheesesteaks so i can't wait to try it. This is a very basic cheese - Bechamel sauce that's great on cheesesteaks. I pretty sure the provolone can be substituted with almost any cheese you wish.

CHEESE SAUCE FOR PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS



Cheese Sauce for Philly Cheese Steaks image

This is my daughter's preferred recipe for cheese sauce to top Philly Cheese Steaks. While not truly authentic (I believe the actual Philly Cheese Steaks use Cheese Wiz), this is what my daughter likes : )

Provided by SGpratt

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk, divided
1 -1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated (whatever sharpness you prefer)
6 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into small chunks (the small chunks allow it to melt more quickly)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat.
  • Once melted, gradually add the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, about 2 minutes.You should end up with a thick but still stirrable roux (A roux is basically just equal part butter and flour stirred over some heat and then you add your liquid ingredients to it. It's a thickener and can be used to start all sorts of cream sauces).
  • Add 1/4 cup milk slowly to the roux and cook over low heat. Stir until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the cheddar cheese, the remaining 1/4 cup milk and Velvetta and cook, stirring frequently, until you have a smooth cheese sauce, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Use fresh, high-quality provolone cheese and whole milk for the best results.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the flavor and texture of your sauce. Shredding your own cheese will give you a smoother, more flavorful sauce.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat: Provolone cheese is a delicate cheese that can easily scorch if cooked over high heat. Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Use the sauce immediately: Provolone sauce is best when used immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the flavor will be best if you use it right away.

Conclusion:

Provolone sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for cheesesteaks, but it can also be used on pizzas, pasta, and vegetables. With its creamy, cheesy flavor, provolone sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meal, give provolone sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
