How To Make Philly Cheesesteak

  • Thinly shave partially frozen beef, using a mandoline slicer. You can use a sharp knife, but a meat slicer makes steak shavings that are incredibly thin!
  • Add the beef marinade to the shavings and let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the griddle over high heat and dice the onions.
  • Sauté the onions in 1 tablespoon of oil just until they char (1 minute). I like to leave little bits of onion white for some texture. Remove onions with a long grill spatula and set aside.
  • Slice the bread rolls ¾ through and place face down onto the same hot griddle. Toast for 15-30 seconds and set the toasted bread aside onto a large tray.
  • Drain the beef from the marinade (do not wash) and cook in 3 tablespoon of oil over high heat until the foam evaporates and the meat is thoroughly cooked and nicely browned (about 10 minutes).
  • Turn off the heat and arrange the beef into six portions. Top with cheese and allow it to sit until the cheeses melt (1-2 minutes). This can be done in batches on a low setting if needed.
  • Scoop Philly cheesesteaks into the toasted bread rolls and top with the onions. Serve with ketchup or horseradish sauce.

Notes

For Easy Slicing: thaw frozen steak for 1-2 hours and start slicing, or if your beef is already thawed place it into the freezer and freeze for 30-40 minutes until semi-solid. Bread: I used my Homemade Subway Bread Recipe and omitted the Italian Herb and Cheese topping, to make plain submarine-style bread. You can use Hoagie rolls or any long baguette.
