We love to recreate restaurant-quality
sandwiches like French Dip and Burgers! The cheese steak recipe is easier than
you think. Watch the video tutorial below and you'll see why everyone is
talking about it.

What is philly cheesesteak?
Philly cheesecake is a sandwich made with
strips of rib-eye steak, caramelized onions and provolone cheese. This simple
combination is the original classic that has become popular on the East Coast.
On the West Coast, Philly Cheesecake has been modified to include paprika and
mushrooms but the real "Philly" only serves steaks, onions and cheese
on a roll.

Which piece of beef should I use?
Ribeye is the preferred choice for Philly
Cheesesteak sandwiches. It becomes well marbled and tender when cooked. Another
piece that we used with great results is the sirloin, which is lightweight but
very tender when sliced against the grain. You will need a little extra oil
on the cooking surface if you are using a sirloin.
Best cheeses in Philly cheesecake:
The most popular cheese is mild provolone
cheese. We tested a variety of Provolone brands and the only brand we didn't
enjoy was Costco's "aged" provolone. The flavor of old provolone was
overwhelming. Another popular option is American white cheese. Some restaurants
in Philadelphia add cheese similar to Filvita but we like provolone better
* Ingredients :
° 1 pound rib-eye steak, cut into thin
slices *
° 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
° 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
° 1 sweet onion (large), diced
° 8 slices light provolone cheese (not aged
with provolone)
° 4 hoagie rolls, cut into 3/4 slices
° 2 tablespoons of soft unsalted butter
° 1 clove of squeezed garlic
° 2-4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, or to
taste
° US customary - metric
* Instructions :
The hoagie cuts 3/4 slices of the way with
a serrated knife. Chop the onion into cubes and chop thin slices of beef.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soft
butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Spread garlic butter on the sliced sides
of four hobby wrap. Toast the bread in a large frying pan, stovetop, or tray
over medium heat until golden brown, then set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet /
stove and sauté chopped onions until caramelized, then transfer to a bowl.
Bring the mixture to a high temperature and
add 1 tablespoon of oil. Spread the thin slices of meat in an even layer. Leave
the brown for a few minutes without disturbing, then flip it over and season
with half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté until
the meat is fully cooked, then add the caramelized onions.
Divide the cheese into 4 equal portions,
cover 2 slices of cheese each, and turn off the heat until the cheese melts
without overcooking the meat.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the
toasted side of each roll. Work with one portion at a time, place a toasted
piece of bread on each portion and use a spoon to scrape the beef with cheese into
the cake as it turns. Serve warm.
Enjoy !
