Original Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich Recipe

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. THE BEST chesse steaks are made with several paper thin layers of sliced rib eye.

First heat oil on a grill or skillet large enough to provide enough room to prevent steaming of the onion and beef.

Saute a handful of razor thin slices of onion till transparent of slightly golden. The steak cooks very quickly, on high heat, till beef has lost its pink color.

Some places grill the roll for a couple of seconds before placing the onion, then the meat on the bread.

Pat's in Philly, considered the #1 place to go for the best cheese steak, generously smears cheeze whiz on top. Other places use provolone or mozarella cheese. Of course, ketchup, pickles and chopped cherry peppers are a must. Over the years, more combos have popped up,like adding mushrooms, green peppers, etc., but the original was onion, rib eye, and cheese. Enjoy.
