Philly Cheesesteak (The Way I Remember It) image

Lived in N. E. Philly until 1972. Moved to Wilkes-Barre area. There was one place that made cheesesteaks that was awesome. THAT'S the recipe I've submitted. Dicing the onion early in the day alters the strong taste of onion to give the sandwich that certain "taste". Green Peppers are NOT the norm only an option as are mushrooms.

Time 30m

Yield 3 Hoagies, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb thinly sliced rib eye steaks or 1 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced
1 -2 large bermuda onion, diced on the large side not sliced (if you like onions use the 2)
9 slices American cheese
3 hoagie rolls, 12-inch
ketchup or marinara sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, preferably
salt

Steps:

  • Large dice the onions and set them aside earlier in the day; covered with a paper towel.
  • Pour the peanut oil into a large hot stainless steel fry pan. Quickly saute the onions tossing them often until they become slightly translucent and tinged with brown. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same hot pan add some of the meat (not all; it will sweat and release too much liquid) and roughly tear apart with two forks. When nicely browned remove and keep warm. Continue to do all the meat.
  • Slice the hoagie buns (make sure they are really fresh. To get them sllightly crispy leave them early in the day uncovered) and place 1/3 of the meat in each. Top evenly with the cheese. Distribute the cooked onions and place in 300 degree oven on a baking pan until cheese is melted.
  • You have the options of using either ketchup or a marinara sauce.

I'm a big fan of cheesesteaks, and this recipe did not disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. The bread was also soft and chewy.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of steak. It was delicious! The tofu was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey.

I've tried many Philly cheesesteak recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The bread was soft and chewy, the steak was flavorful and tender, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I'll be using this recipe from now on.
