PHILLY STEAK SANDWICHES

Categories     main-dish

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 large yellow skinned onions, sliced very thin
Coarse salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 drizzles
1 1/2 pounds lean beef tenderloin or sirloin, ask butcher to slice the meat very thin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices provolone cheese, from the deli counter
4 soft Italian sandwich hogie rolls, split 6 to 8 inches long each, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add onions and season with salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until onions are soft and caramel in color.
  • Heat a heavy griddle pan over medium high to high heat. Wipe griddle with a drizzle of oil using a paper towel. Sear and cook thin sliced steaks until brown but not crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Cook steaks in single layers in 2 batches and tenderize by cutting into meat with the side of your spatula while they cook. When the steaks are browned, just before you remove them from heat, sprinkle them with garlic salt and pepper. When all of the steaks are cooked, line each of your split rolls with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Pile 1/4 of your meat and onions on to the griddle and mix together with your spatula. Pile the meat and onions into rolls on top of the cheese. The heat from the meat and onions will melt the cheese. Repeat for remaining servings and serve.

MICHAEL'S FAMOUS PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH



Michael's Famous Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich image

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.

Categories     Beef     Cheese     Onion     Pepper     Sauté

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds top round steak
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion
4-6 bell peppers, any color
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
N/A Salt
N/A pepper
1/4 pound sharp provolone cheese, thinly sliced
4 to 6 soft hero rolls or hoagie rolls

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.

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.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))



Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic))) image

I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this was my favorite lunch at the luncheonettes (sandwich shops). Places throughout the rest of the Country that claim to make Philly Cheese Steaks just do not get them to taste the same, and one of the reasons is that they do not use extra-virgin olive oil. Anyone who says that Pat's and Gino's in South Philly uses Cheez Wiz, is talking about the way they make it now. The old authentic way uses Provolone Cheese. Also, using deli roast beef is the same as using top round sliced wafer thin or frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer. I was born in 1942 and this is the way they were made way back then. We are talking about authentic, not the way they are made now. If you make any changes with the ingredients or the directions, it will not be the same. Make it EXACTLY as written here.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large hoagie rolls or 2 large sub rolls
1/2 lb deli roast beef (very rare, sliced wafer thin, or you can use a frozen Rib-Eye roast shaved on an electric slicer, wh)
1 white onion (thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced) (optional)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
extra virgin olive oil (for grilling)
salt and pepper
marinara sauce (optional topping) or ketchup (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
  • Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
  • Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
  • Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
  • Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
  • If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
  • Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
  • When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich is made with a long, soft hoagie roll. You can also use a French roll or even a baguette, but make sure it's sturdy enough to hold all the fillings.
  • Use thinly sliced steak: The steak for a Philly cheesesteak should be thinly sliced, so it cooks quickly and evenly. You can use rib eye, flank steak, or top sirloin.
  • Cook the steak in a hot skillet: The steak should be cooked in a hot skillet over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Add the cheese: Once the steak is cooked, it's time to add the cheese. The classic choice is Cheez Whiz, but you can also use provolone, American, or mozzarella.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich include grilled onions, peppers, and mushrooms. You can also add a dollop of ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

The Philly cheesesteak is a delicious and iconic sandwich that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It's a simple sandwich to make, but there are a few tips and tricks that can help you make the best Philly cheesesteak possible. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make a Philly cheesesteak that will rival the best sandwiches from any restaurant.
