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.

Ingredients

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.

1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups bick's mild banana peppers, chunks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper
4 white pita breads or 4 whole wheat pita bread

bick's pepper rings, hot
bick's cocktail onion, sour
bick's sandwich savers Extra garlic
4 slices cheddar cheese (regualr or smoked)

In saucepan, cook onions, and mild banana peppers, in oil over hight heat, until charred. Remove from pan.
Add Beef to pan and season with salt and pepper.
When beef is nearly cooked, add back onions and peppers. Continue coking to preferred doneness.

Remove pitas from paper, spread each pita with mustard down the middle and cover with 1/4 of the meat mixture.
Top with pepper rings, cocktail onions, pickles and cover with cheese.
Fold the bottom side of the pita over the filling and roll to make a cone.
Wrap each pita in aluminum foil and place back in pan ( or BBQ), so that sandwiches warm and cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Opt for thinly sliced ribeye steak: This cut is known for its rich flavor and tenderness, making it perfect for a Philly cheesesteak.
Season the steak well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance the steak's flavor.
Cook the steak in a hot skillet: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Use a good quality cheese: Provolone, mozzarella, and cheddar are all popular choices for Philly cheesesteaks. Make sure the cheese is thinly sliced so that it melts easily.
Toast the pita bread: This will help to make it crispy and sturdy enough to hold all of the fillings.
Add your favorite toppings: Sautéed onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers are all classic Philly cheesesteak toppings. You can also add other toppings of your choice, such as avocado, jalapeños, or bacon.

Conclusion:
