First of all, to make things really easy on yourself go to the store and get some Steak-Umms. This is what I use and it's so easy. You will find them in the freezer section. All you need to do is place them in the pan frozen and heat over medium heat, when the meat starts to thaw start shredding the meat with two forks, being careful if using a non-stick pan. If not using non-stick use some Pam non-stick cooking spray. In another pan saute some onions and peppers. Just cook over medium heat with a little oil until the onions and peppers start to feel soft. I would actually start this before the meat as it will take longer. Once the meat and peppers are done place the peppers and onions on top of the steak in two piles. Meat and veggies for your son and you. The top with a split hoagie roll so the bun can steam and become soft. This takes just a couple minutes. Once soft put a spatula under the meat and veggies while holding onto the roll and flip over filling the roll with the meat and veggies. Top with cheese whiz or if you prefer other cheese, put the cheese on the meat and veggie pile before adding the bun to steam. Hope this helps :) Enjoy.

I'm sure this isn;t the best answer, but my familay and I use this product called steak-ums, and you can pretty much cook them in a frying pan if i remember correctly, serve on a hoagie roll with american cheese underneath, can cook wtih onions and peppers in the frying pan if you wish as well. But these will be found in your frozen section of food market, and I believe the box is red, with instructions on it even, VERY simple to make if you can cook bacon in a pan, shouldnt be an issue to cook this.


Edit: after reviewing some of the thorough and wonderful instructions, I think I'd have to say Snigly's is the best so far, it is probably the simplest out of the group, which is what you are looking for, and seems to have the directions down pat, based off of memory. It won't be exactly like philly steaks like some of the others will be, but to combine ease and taste, you will not be disappointed. I actually prefer steak-ums over getting a philly style steak from a restaraunt or deli.

Philly Cheese Steaks

1.Start with good beef. uses sliced rib-eye or uses USDA choice top round western steer beef.
2.Shave the beef very thin so it cooks quickly and remains tender.
3.Use a fresh high quality Italian roll - Amoroso’s is a favorite.
4.Decide if you want your steak with or without fried onions.
5.Decide if you want a steak or a cheesesteak. If you elect a cheesesteak you need to decide on American cheese, provolone or the Philly favorite "cheez whiz".
6.Any add-ons? Mushrooms, peppers, pizza sauce, tomatoes? You decide. It’s your sandwich.
7.Start to cook. Sauté the onions, peppers and mushrooms until soft.
8.Fry your steak until brown but not crispy or burned. You can mix in the fried vegetables now or add them at the end.
9.If you elect American cheese or provolone place the cheese on the meat until slightly melted. If you choose Cheez Whiz just smear it on the roll.
10.Place the roll over the meat/cheese/vegetables and scoop it into the sandwich.
11.Garnish your sandwich with pizza sauce, hot or sweet peppers or pickles as you choose.
Tips:
1.Using the best beef available is the key.
2.Don't overcook the ingredients.

Answer 7

okay get a flank steak or a steak that looks good at the store. Take it home and put it in the freezer for 30 mins. to 1 hour. While you are waiting for the meat to chill you can cut up your onions. Slice the onion into thin slices then set them aside
next slice your peppers the same in thin slices ( you can slice mushrooms if you like it's your choice).
Then after 30 mins or 1 hour at the most take your steak out of the freezer and slice into thin slices ( the reason for putting the steak in the freezer is that it makes it easier to slice when it's really cold). Cook your steak to the doneness you like, then take it out of the skillet and add your vegs.( make sure you add a little oil to skillet before cooking the meat and the vegs). Cook the vegs just until they are a little tender they should still have a little bit to them. Add the meat back to the pan salt and pepper to taste then sever on the bread of your choice with cheese of your choice. ( if you want to you can put the meat and vegs on the bread then top with the cheese and put it in the oven to melt the cheese).

Answer 8

Ok, the only person who gave you a real recipe for Philly steaks is mrs2real4u. The rest of those recipes are just sick - steakums are one of the foulest products on the market. You want ribeye steak sliced thin. I get my butcher to do it, some of the better supermarkets will do it for you too. My butcher uses the number 2 setting on the slicer and it's perfect. I prefer New Yorker white American cheese on my sandwich but you can use provolone or cheese whiz. My husband doesn't like cheese at all.

Answer 9

My husband makes these awesome artery clogging Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. He starts with chopped onion with a dash of pepper, then mushrooms and Steak Ums (Brand name of pre-chopped steak available at any grocery store) be sure to shred them while they cook, then he finishes it off with deli white American cheese (the best) and finally puts in on a soft steak bun or seeded split top bun while still in the skillet so that the yummy goodness soaks into the bread. YUMMMMM!

Answer 10

Follow the above advice from mheath0781! The other recipes are slightly off.

You MUST use Steak-Umms (never real steak), Amorroso (sp) hoagie buns, and yellow cheese (never, ever Cheez-Whiz or white cheese).

Salt-Pepper-Ketchup

Put it on a paper plate, and when the plate is transparent from the grease, you eat it!

This Philly girl used bacon grease to cook the Steak-Umms.
