Ribeye on the counter. Onion and peppers, too. Some cheese and toasted Italian homemade rolls. Oh, there are spices in the mix.

I had my first cheesesteak two years ago in South Philly on 9th street at the place that invented the sandwich---Epic MEH!

Not that they ever looked appealing to me, because they never did, just due to the color of the meat. Overcooked , overdone steak that looks gray in color with a yukky texture on a white junky roll ---->just never understood the enthusiasm for one of these things. Even when hidden under onions, green peppers and/or mushrooms. ( and I love steak )

IMO:

Philly Cheesesteaks SUKK!

I'm kind of embarrassed to mention this, but I've never had one, but it sounds delicious. Does this sound like a good recipe? I don't like the sound of using cheese wiz, which is that "cheese" in a pressurized vessel, right?

Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich Recipe:

This is a very filling sandwich, great to make ahead of time and keep warm in the oven for a football party or any other time.

Recipe Type: Sandwich, Beef, Caramelized Onions
Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, sliced as thin as possible and rings separated*
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
12 ounces chipped steak (very thin-sliced eye of round, rib eye, or sirloin tip roast cut into 1-inch slices)**
Salt and coarsely-ground black pepper
Cheese Whiz or provolone cheese slices
1 (8-inch long) Italian loaf, hoagie roll, or French baguette
Dill pickle spears

* Learn how to made Baked Caramelized Onions. This is a quick and easy way to caramelize a large amount of onions.

** Freeze steak before slicing. With a sharp knife, slice the meat paper thin.

Preparation:

In a large frying pan over high heat, add olive oil and heat so that a drop of water will sizzle when you drop it in the oil; lower heat to medium. Add onions and mushrooms, stir and cook until mushrooms darken and onions start to look transparent. Add steak slices and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until meat is lightly browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Heap cooked meat mixture in a long length-wise pile across the frying pan, Lay cheese slices over meat until melted. If using Cheese Whiz, melt in a double boiler or in the microwave.

Slice bread lengthwise. Using a spatula, scoop 1/2 the meat mixture and cheese and lay on bread with cheese on top. If using melted Cheese Whiz, ladle it on top. If you're using Cheez Whiz, don't use too much or it can overpower the sandwich's taste.

Slice sandwich into 2 or 4 pieces, and serve with a dill pickle.

Each sandwich makes 2 servings.

Nope, its a more liquidy cheese in glass containers (like a salsa jar).

Thats what they use on the steaks they sell at Pat's in Philadelphia, but you can use whatever cheese you want really.

I used to live in South Philly in an apt right across the park from Pats and Genos. Those places are so overated. IMHO they are the worst Cheesesteaks in Philly, the best again IMHO, is Dalessandros.

I will also add that Provolone is the way to go on a Cheesesteak

Thank you.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Philadelphia, and their cheesesteaks suck. Freaking pepperjack's makes a better sandwich than anything I've had in Philly.
