Bam!  End thread.

My only issue is I can't cut the ribeye thin enough.  Suggestions?

Freeze it for like 20 mins before slicing/cutting

Best cheese steak is in New Jersey. Break all the rules: put it on a Kaiser. Chop ribeye ends. American cheese. Load with caramelized onions. 

If I ever find out who the @$$hat is that first decided to put poppy seeds on a roll I am gonna kick him in the poppy seeds.

Pork is a fraction of the cost of beef up here.

 

You convinced me. 

 

I will do a pork roast, chill it and put it through my commercial quality meat slicer.

 

Plenty of good provolone here since like me the delis are all Italian close to me.

 

I haven't seen rabe recently but I am sure my Italian grocer has that.

 

DONE

Garlic up that rabe 

[Boatdrinks]

Gotta be ribeye and cheese whiz for starters. Add  peppers, mushrooms etc from there.

No. It's roast pork, rabe, and provolone.

 

Cheesesteak is for the tourists.

 

 

This man understands 

That is what the locals eat. 

 

I would get good wings in Philly buuuuuut then I would have to find them

Dinics roast pork sandwich was the best thing I ever eat. Better than any cheese steak.

this. pork shoulder, broccoli rabe and provolone is a perfectly acceptable alternate to the cheese steak. love the tommy dinics sammy

[Gunsgoodtime]

I will avoid the Lasagna that I cooked when I was drunk Friday night and spilled a whole bottle of crushed red peppers in and devoured.  It was a ***** weekend and even thinking of anything spicy makes my rectal cringe

I work in Camden now, so I'm already there. It's either that or I go to the aquarium for my kid and decide to get lunch.

[Don Otreply]

I don’t celebrate our opponents with my food choices on game day, I would rather go outside the box and choose Sushi 🍣 pork buns and rice wine with dinner, then later a single malt or two as a dessert.

It's ok, it's the part of Camden that is riiiiiight before it touches one of the wealthier districts. Actually right by one the best rated sushi joints in Philly.

I worked there (on Atlantic Ave) for awhile back in the early 2000's. Part of my job was riding around in the pickup van. Went everywhere, saw many many things. Gave me a lot of good stories for parties.

The bread is absolutely key.

 

This place in Princeton, an hour away, does it right.  Ross Tucker will tell you the same.  I'm long overdue for a visit.

Fried onions (a slightly different thing than carmelized onions).  And if you want the true Philly experience, you have to find a way to acquire some Amoroso rolls. Every top cheesesteak place in philly uses these.  They have some magically property. (Philadelphia is my second home my whole life. Almost my entire family still lives there. American Cheese or certain home made cheese whiz's are legit substitutes for provolone. note- the rib-eye should be shaved.

Thank you for this. I am in Berlin and am going to try to make cheesesteaks here. I can find ribeye, fried onions, provolone, but no way to get Amoroso's or cherry peppers... hmmmm

 

PS embarrassing admission: I first tried (and loved) cheesesteaks at age 13 at Original Philly Cheesesteak Co. at Walden Galleria mall.

If this is true Eagles Fan Philly Cheese Stake in needs blood and broken glass as ingredients.

[phypon]

It starts with good, crusty bread from your local bakery.  Then get some steak tips.  Put them in the freezer for about 45 minutes to firm them up.  Once firm enough, you can trim some of the fat and slice them very thin (the freezer trick makes it easier to cut the meat of any kind).  Season with a bit of garlic salt or powder and black pepper and sea salt.  Get a grill basket and cook them on the grill, not in a frying pan.  Also add green peppers, red peppers, and white or spanish onion.  Add the veggies to the grill basket once the meat has cooked a bit.  Use lots of cheese (I usually use American, but you can use provolone or moz or gouda or anything you want).  Make sure to toast the bread when the meat and veggies are almost done.  It's super good!  Don't forget to have a beer while grilling.  The steak tips can take longer than other steak to cook.

[frostbitmic]

What kind of Steak?  ... Shaved steak I've found at the grocery store with the other fresh meat. So much better than frozen stuff they call steak.

 

What kind of Cheese? ... Swiss or Provolone

 

What kind of Bread? ... Hoagie roll

 

Condiments? ... Sauteed sweet peppers and onions

[muppy]

is it sacrilegious to just go to a Jersey Mikes and buy one hence no dishes and at least decent Philly cheese steak. Thoughts?

maybe  buying a philly sandwich from a company from New Jersey is itself sacrilegious 🤭

 

haha

For steak use the best deli roast beef you can get 

 

To clarify, you obviously cook it up with peppers, onions and mushrooms then melt the cheese of your choice right into it... Cheddar and swiss blend is our favorite. Mayo on the toasted roll 

 

We also add spinach to the mix, again cooked right in with everything 

had me till the Mayo.  Agree roast beef is the way to go

Just as a note, calling the sandwich a Philly Cheese steak annoys locals like when we hear Buffalo Wings.

 

So call them Philly cheese steaks!

If I’m having a Philly Cheesesteak i’m definitely ordering it from somewhere, not making it.

[DrBob806]

Tailgate Cheesesteak

 

I use this one constantly, whether it's a tailgate or at the campground. Malcom Reed, he's never done us wrong!!!!!

 

I usually use a London broil, put it in the freezer for an hour or 2, then slice it up.

If they're in a plastic bag, they're already bad.

 

That's the hardest part of any Philly sandwich recipes. Getting the bread right 

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Ok, let me lay out some hard truths here:

 

1) probably 90% of cheesesteaks use wiz or American.

 

2) usually, the only vegetable option on a cheesesteak outside of things like cherry peppers or pickles are fried onions 

 

3) roast pork as found at John's or DiNics is superior to cheesesteaks in every way. I like mine with provolone, rabe, long hots and extra jus

 

4) no, roast beef won't adequately substitute for thin chopped ribeye.

 

5) bread will make or break your sandwich. It should be soft and pliable enough to wrap the meat like a warm blanket, but crusty enough to not fall apart. Has to have good chew. Same rile applies to roast pork or quality hoagies.

 

6) also, WRAP the sandwich in something. Parchment, foil, wax paper. That way the sandwich doesn't fall apart 

 

Any questions, send PM.

Let alone as delicious.

I'm with you 100%, Honda.

 

We can talk all we want about Philly Cheese Steaks  (I miss them so much here in NZ) but... on gameday it's Buffalo Rochester food.

 

(However, I think it was my wife that lost us that Jaguars game, when I came home to see that she made Ranch dressing because we didn't have any Blue Cheese in the house.)

I don't know about Johns, but DiNics is the best thing that I have ever eaten. It has all the flavors that a human tongue can experience in one sandwich. I was at a conference at the convention center, and I was told by a local to go across the street and get the sandwich. I ate nothing else but that and Tomato pie for three days. I took my family on a detour on a vacation to NYC from Cincinnati just to get another sandwich. It's worth the 8-hour drive from Cincinnati to Philly just to get one. It's that good.

My father's family moved to Lehigh Valley in the 50s, and I have frequented Lehigh Valley hundreds of times since the 70s.

 

Genos, Pats, Mike Schmidts, Jimmy's yada yada I have tried every Philly cheesesteak hotspot.  Cheese wiz is garbage.  Allentown uses real cheese, and sometimes a little sauce.  The Brass Rail (RIP) used to make a cheese steak omelette that was divine.  One of best cheesesteaks I ever had was Augies in Reading.

If you want a good hot dog, get to Yaccos.

Hahahahaha… completely serious. In Philly it ain’t a cheesteak if it doesn’t have cheese whiz.
