MICHAEL'S FAMOUS PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH
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.

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.
EMERIL'S PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich is made with a hoagie roll. However, you can use any type of bread that you like, such as a baguette, ciabatta, or even a hamburger bun.
- Use thinly sliced steak: The steak should be thinly sliced so that it cooks quickly and evenly. You can use any type of steak that you like, but ribeye or top sirloin are good choices.
- Cook the steak in a hot pan: The steak should be cooked in a hot pan so that it gets a nice sear. You can use a grill pan, a cast iron skillet, or even a regular frying pan.
- Add the cheese: Once the steak is cooked, add the cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but American, provolone, or Cheez Whiz are popular choices.
- Serve immediately: The Philly cheesesteak sandwich is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the bread is still crispy and the cheese is melted.

The Philly cheesesteak sandwich is a classic American sandwich that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple sandwich to make, but it is packed with flavor. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich, the Philly cheesesteak is a great option.
