Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds top sirloin, shaved paper-thin
4 tablespoons peanut oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 hoagie, po'boy, or Italian-style sandwich rolls, sliced lengthwise

RECIPE METHOD

Season the sirloin with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil on a pancake-style griddle or in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the hot pan, season with salt and pepper, and saute over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, until soft. Keep warm.

Toast the sandwich rolls on the griddle, remove, and place the bottom of each roll on a serving plate. Place the sautéed meat on top the bottom of the roll, top with the sauteed onion mixture, and finish with the cheese slices. Sprinkle the jalapeno slices over the cheese and top with the remaining half of the roll. Cut the sandwich in half and serve with the pickled jalapenos and potato chips, if desired.

Answer 2

For a "real" Philly Cheesesteak you need two things, philly style italian rolls and Frozen chip steaks. These are real thin frozen steak products. Steak-ums is one brand, there are several. Slice up some large onion 1/8" slices, Cut the rolls in half lengthwise leaving about a half inch hinge. Now start to saute the onions in some oil, when they have been stired and fried about two minutes over med. high heat, move them to one side of the pan and add the steak meat broken up to about 1"X3"pieces, fry & turn to lightly brown, as the steak is cooked with tongs place the cooked meat on top of the onions. Add some sliced american cheese or jarred Cheesewhiz. With a spatula place all neatly into the roll. The roll should now be layered , meat, onions,cheese or meat cheese ,onion whatever fits your taste.
