Who Likes Philly Cheese Steak?

Or should I say who doesn't!!

Got some thinly sliced Ribeye Steaks at the Super H Mart the other day,...time to make some Philly Cheese Steak's.

Started with some baby Portabella & white Shrooms and one large yellow onion:

Onions and shrooms all sauteed up:

Removed the onions and shrooms and started the Ribeye's:

Steaks all cooked, added Onion, shrooms and provalone to the mix:

To that added some shreaded Mozzarella:

Mixed it all to let the cheese melt:

Put in some crusty Bolillos buns, added some more Mozzarella and put it under the broiler for a couple minutes:

Man-O-Man were these ever good!!

Great looking Cheese Steak...

Or should I say Cheese Steak Wit... (or is that just for those from NY or NJ?)

All ya needed was to have some cheese whiz mixed in there to make it a TRUE philly cheese steak. Regardless, that looks fantastic!!

okjsmoker · Oct 25, 2009

Cheese and Rice man those look awesome!

txbigred · Oct 25, 2009

Ya know, I saw that on tv the other day, about a couple of cheese steak joints in Philly with the cheese whiz. I guess I've never had a "true" Philly cheese steak. I've always had it Provalone and or mozzarella. Sure was good though.

I'd agree that it doesn't matter what kind of cheese is used, but the people from the city know that cheese whiz is the bomb :D

Great looking Phillies! I could eat a couple of those.

Boy, you just made me want to go to Philly. I used to work for a company in King of Prussia PA and the cheese steaks were the best.

I see local place's claim to have Philly cheese steaks, I get my hopes up, order one, only to be disappointed. I have done this quite a bit. Now I stick with the hot dogs.

I could never recreate "the taste" it may be the seasoned grill or something.

If anyone can point me to a place that has authentic cheese steak in the Midwest, I would be most appreciative.

Nice looking cheesesteaks. Wishing I had one of those right now. But I gotta say that you're gonna need some whiz to top those off.

raceyb · Oct 26, 2009

Very good looking sandwhiches. I was stuffed and sat down to read forums, you've made me hungry again... lol

You said it Dude.
Only options you would get would be
#1 whiz
#2 or #3 American or Provolone

Careful how you order them in Philly, they are great folks, as long as you stay on their good side

Bearcarver · Oct 26, 2009

I've lived within 50 miles of Philly all of my life, and any place that uses cheeze whiz doesn't get the business of anyone I know. Provolone, mozza, American, or anything but cheeze whiz phony cheeze!

If you want to try something really great, turn it into a "Weber":
Invented in the early 60s at a drive-in named "Smitty's" in Quakertown, PA (my birth-town).
Same as cheese steak, except No onions, no shrooms, and it has mayo instead of steak sauce, cheese mixed with the meat, topped with lettuce & tomato.

BTW: The name "Weber" was taken from a truck driver who used to frequent Smitty's & order his cheese steak that way.

txbigred · Oct 26, 2009

That "Weber" sounds pretty good. Until I saw it on TV the other day I would have never guessed you would put cheese whiz on Philly cheese steak, but I guess it depends on where you live. Down here we make a spicy queso with melted velveeta and rotel tomatoes and green chilis, I'll bet that would be good on it.

nice looking Philly's there, got me really hungry this a.m.

pops6927 · Oct 26, 2009

Texas-ize those...

2" thick Rib Eyes, med. rare
smothered in onions and mushrooms
sprinkle a little parmesan on 'em
sop up the Au Jus with any roll ya want!

shellbellc · Oct 26, 2009

Actually not NJ or NY, South Philly! It's been "put out there" through tv shows that are about the Pat's vs. Geno's "war" in South Philly. Neither of the two are even close to the best cheesesteaks around here!!!

I drive through KOP everyday on my way to work! I'm out by Limerick! I'll put cheesesteaks out here in the burbs against almost anything in the city anyday!

We have the same thing on most menus around here, just called a cheesesteak hoagie, with the addition of raw onions. Very good! I agree, I don't know of ANY place around us that offers wiz. Nasty right there...there are so many ways to get cheesesteaks around here. My dad likes it with brown gravy. Hubby likes with pepperoni and sauce. I like a pizza steak or sometimes a cheesesteak with just mayo! Something that has grown in popularity here is a buffalo chicken cheesesteak...

These cheesesteaks look awesome, that ribeye that you got looks perfect! Some places chop up the meat fairly fine, some leave in whole slices. I like mine chopped. I also agree that roll can almost make or break the sammich. I'm not sure what kind of a roll that it but it looks wonderful! By taking the sandwich and putting it under the broiler, you actually made what we would call around here a "grinder". A cheesesteak grinder, now that has to be wonderful! Great job!
