Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich Recipe

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 medium onions, sliced as thin as possible and rings separated

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

12 ounces chipped steak (thin sliced eye of round, rib eye, or sirloin tip roast)*

Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Cheese Whiz or provolone cheese slices

1 Italian, French or hoagie roll

Dill pickle spears

* Freeze steak before sliced. Slice it paper thin.

In a large frying pan over high heat, add olive oil and heat so that a drop of water will sizzle when you drop it in the oil; lower heat to medium. Add onions and mushrooms, stir and cook until mushrooms darken and onions start to look transparent. Add steak slices and cook for 3 minutes or until meat lightly browns. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Heap cooked meat mixture in a long pile across pan, Lay cheese slices over meat until melted. If using Cheese Whiz, melt in a double boiler or in the microwave.

Slice bread lengthwise. Using a spatula, scoop meat mixture and cheese and lay on bread with cheese on top. If using melted Cheese Whiz, ladle it on top. slice sandwich into 2 or 4 pieces, and serve with a dill pickle.

Makes 1 Philly Cheesesteak

1/4 pound very thinly sliced steak (ribeye is recommended)

1/4 cup onion, sliced or chopped.
Cheez Whiz processed cheese spread or provolone cheese
Italian style roll
Saute the onions in a small amount of oil in a heavy skillet. Add the sliced steak when the onions are almost done. Cook the steak for about 5 minutes, or til it is how you like it.

Follow the instructions on the Cheez Whiz jar to heat it.

Toast the roll if you want, but the authentic Philly cheesesteak recipe doesn't. Put the sauteed onions and sliced steak on the roll. Drizzle with heated Cheez Whiz or add a slice of provolone on top. (The heat from the steak and onions will melt the provolone cheese.)

The onions are optional. You can add other garnishes such as sauteed mushrooms and/or peppers if you like. Some people like to douse their Philly cheesesteak sandwiches with ketchup. The choice is yours.
