I had been waiting for a few years to make a Philly Cheese Steak and after tonight I am wondering what took me so long. Honestly, this wasn't time consuming or complicated in any way. I made a version with provolone cheese and another with Cheez Whiz (with a few jalapenos to make it interesting). Having never been to Philly I have no idea how these stack up to the real deal but I feel like I got pretty close.
I couldn't have been happier with my sandwiches. These were gooey and packed with flavour from the beef and peppers.
I will definitely be making these again!
I decided to go all out on the meat for these and used a couple of rib eye steaks.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 hoagie rolls
- 2 rib eye steaks
- small jar Cheez Whiz
- 1 large white onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 1 medium jalapeno
- salt and pepper
Directions:
- Chill the meat in the freezer for 30 min.
- Chop the onions and slice the peppers.
- Preheat the oven to 300 F.
- Cook the onions and peppers until soft, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Slice the meat as thin as you can.
- Cook the meat on medium/high for a few minutes until no longer pink.
- Line the sliced buns with cheese and top with meat and peppers.
- Wrap sandwiched tightly in tin foil and then put in oven for 15min.
- Devour.
I'm from Scotland, but I've visited the States many times, mostly on business. One of my enduring memories is my first Philly cheese steak, which I had near to the Philly Flyer's stadium before a game. It was also my first, and so far only, ice hockey match.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your ones certainly look the part. The ones we ate came in the cooking foil just like that. I didn't realise that was because they were baked/warmed after they were filled.
I admit it's a bit odd that my main memory of the most powerful country in the world is a steak sandwich - but there you go. Your post stirred a few memories - and made me hungry too!
