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.

This Philly cheesesteak is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can customize it with different toppings, like bacon, jalapeños, or avocado.

I made this recipe for my family, and they loved it! Even my picky kids ate it all up. It's definitely a new favorite in our household.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the steak with grilled portobello mushrooms. It was delicious! The mushrooms had a meaty texture and absorbed the flavors of the onions and cheese perfectly.

This Philly cheesesteak is the real deal! It's just like the ones I used to get at my favorite sandwich shop in Philadelphia. I highly recommend it!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The steak was a little tough, and the cheese sauce was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The homemade cheese sauce is what really sets it apart from other Philly cheesesteak recipes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesesteak turned out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked the steak. Next time, I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they complemented the steak and cheese in this recipe. The flavors were perfectly balanced.
