Binging with Babish - How to make a real Philly Cheesesteak from "Creed"

Michael B. Jordan finally lands a role in which he doesn't die tragically - on the contrary, he gets to enjoy a philly cheese steak with his bohemian dj-girlfriend between bouts. Is it possible to make this delicacy at home, or is it forever trapped on the silver screen?

Here is the spill: From my experience of being born, raised, and living in Philadelphia for all my 25 years of life, the varieties of cheesesteak differs mostly among race/ethnicity. The classic “saltpepperketchupmayofriedonions” (yes, one word) with plain white, American cheese is a staple among ethnic groups within Philly, particularly African American. Reason for this: Papi Stores (aka what we call a bodega in Philly) among lower income neighborhoods. Get you a Cheesesteak platter with fries for $5-6. There is a Papi Store on almost every corner in the trenches, the real hoods. The White Folk love their Traditional cheesesteak! Sliced rib eye, not diced! Classic cheese whiz or provolone and fried onions. Ketchup is not an acceptable condiment. This traditional steak is the stereotype depicted to anybody not from Philly. Your classic tourist spots like Geno’s, Pat’s, and Tony Luke’s. Hope this was an educational guide to the variety of Cheesesteak served throughout Philadelphia. Would really like to see if anybody from Philly in the comments agree or disagree

[@melanieweir55]

This was super interesting, thanks! I'm from delco so I guess all I get is the White Folk variety xD my dad has always done ketchup on his tho

[@pineapplepizza27]

Not from Philly but from Lancaster PA. For some reason if you order a cheese steak anywhere in this county, they put marinara sauce IN THE SANDWICH. And employees get confused if you ask for it without sauce. Heresy.

[@SuperCookieGaming_]

as a white folk from the suburbs we do put ketchup on steaks but at the table not while their making it. i’ve never heard of mayo but we do get peppers and onions.

[@TheBeardedOneBass]

It was a promotional spot for Max's on an international platform. I think the most overlooked cheesesteak attribute is a hollowed out hoagie roll. Whiz or American? Provolone is acceptable but never swiss. Onions and peppers are a must. Mushrooms, red sauce, and bacon are upgrades. However, if the roll is not hollowed out and sturdy, the toppings and meat won't fit. They will spill everywhere and the roll splits are the worst.

Local shops will often cut you a 2-for-1 deal if you know them, or maybe they won’t charge you for toppings, etc. It’s part of the perks of being well-known in a community. In this case it could also be they get away with selling one Philly+Dasani for $4.95 each somehow. Maybe they get a lot of business. Or maybe because everyone is poor, demand is highest when prices are lower.

[@un-peteable5333]

Ok let me break this down for you guys, from a person that lived in Philly his whole life. There are technically two cultures of cheesesteaks in philly, they are similar but not the same. Food truck/Corner Store style: It’s a cheap cut of steak (steak always chopped), sliced American cheese and usually served with ketchup and/or mayo. Wrapped in white paper aluminum foil. Traditional style: Higher grade steak (ribeye) cut into thin slabs (steak chopped optional) simply served with cheese whiz (or Provolone, American). Wrapped in a paper or wax paper wrapper. It’s also important to mention there are sub-genres of cheese steaks too. Like Milano steaks, pizza steaks, cheesesteak hoagies, chicken cheesesteaks. Wit or wit out (with onions/ with out onions). Ingredients like peppers and mushrooms are also optional for both styles. What ever you like, have it. In my opinion there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy a cheesesteak, as long as you’re eating and enjoying that jawn.

[@MatticusUltramus]

Made this yesterday. Really good tip on 30 mins in the freezer! Thin slices were no problem at all. A few things I would have done differently after devouring the entire thing: 1) three slices of provolone vs. two if your slices are on the thin side, 2) finish the meat with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of pepper before layering the cheese, 3) I had a tough time getting the peppers in every bite, so a possible alternative would be to layer them on top of the meat mound right before laying the cheese to lock them in, and 4) after making the sandwich, I rolled mine tightly in parchment paper as if making it "to go" and let it rest for a minute or two. This seemed to really lock things together and the second half kept it's shape. It also made it feel more "legit".

[@babishculinaryuniverse]

Glad you tried it and liked it - those are all excellent points! Especially the wrapping in parchment at the end, I love that, totally should've done it for the episode!

[@xandercage2107]

Andrew, I think mayonnaise and ketchup on a cheesesteak isn't a problem. I've seen numerous Philly natives do that, but they don't use mayo as a condiment. They use it a bit like butter to toast the bread and give it some umami, particularly mayonnaise with olive oil in it. It's quite strange but certainly gives it a unique flavor. Personally, using "Hellman's" and "Miracle Whip w/ Olive Oil" are the two best ones I've done this with that give the cheesesteaks a bit more depth of flavor. As for ketchup, as a condiment it's good, but I've seen some people use it to create a nice dipping sauce with some other ingredients such as roasted garlic and red pepper flakes.

[@doneson1717]

Being from philly i can tell you. Different people like their steak with different toppings. Some people like mayo, or ketchup. Some people even like mustard on their sandwich. Onions (fried or not) pickles, cheese wiz, provolone, american cheese, hot or sweet peppers, it's all interchangeable. The core of the sandwich is the meat and cheese (of your choice) everything else is just up to your own tastes. IMHO, they're all pretty good with or without all the extra toppings.

[@whalwing25]

J kellz don’t forget a good roll! That’s the difference between a good Philly cheesesteak and the greatest sandwich you will ever have. Also, wiz wit is the way to go. The wiz mixes the meat perfectly. I only like mayo if I’m getting a cheesesteak hoagie, but to all their own. Also, Philly cheesesteaks can have sweet and hot peppers on it but NOT regular green and red bell peppers. Everywhere not here in Philly seems to think that bell peppers are normal for a cheesesteak. It isn’t.

I think they let some LA/Hollywood people write the dialogue for this scene in Creed. In philly, when ordering a cheesesteak, the questions are cheese whiz or provolone, with or without onions... and thats it. If you are odd, you ask for mushrooms. and if you are odd, you put a couple hot peppers on yourself. but a quintessential philly cheesesteak is whiz/provolone with or without onions. Or if you know your stuff, its "one, provolone, wit"

I've lived in the heart of Philadelphia all of my life. I can't stand seeing national chains offer "Philly cheesesteaks" that automatically come with peppers and/or onions. THAT IS NOT A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK! When you order a cheesesteak from a local pizza store, you're going to get meat and cheese (usually white American or provolone) on a delicious roll (the roll often determines how good the sandwich is) and just that simple is delicious already. People can pay for extra toppings if they want. These include mushrooms (my favorite), sweet and hot peppers, pepperoni, bacon, broccoli rabe, onions (raw or fried), and other stuff too. You can also ask for condiments. I usually go with ketchup, but mayo is good too, I've just never had them both together. You can change what kind of cheese you want as well, but not every place offers cheese whiz. We also offer chicken cheesesteaks which is finely chopped up chicken instead of steak. Buffalo chicken cheesesteaks are glorious. If you ever come to the city, you have to try one. Now I'll offer some advice, avoid the tourist traps (Pat's, Geno's). You're overpaying for overrated cheesesteaks. The best come from the pizza stores that are dotted on just about every block throughout the entire city. If you want to risk entering those neighborhoods, lol. While you're at it, get some mega fries (a pool of cheese whiz, topped with a ton of fries, topped with a ton of shredded cheese and bacon). Oh and lastly, get a pizza roll from a Chinese restaurant. It seems like it's a very local thing, as I've seen it no where else in the country. Think of an egg roll but inside is just a ton of melted cheese with some pizza sauce. You should never pay more than $7-8 for a one-foot cheesesteak. Often the local pizza stores will have specials where you can get 3 cheesesteaks for $15-17. The mega fries go for around $6, and the pizza roll should be about $1.25.

That technique is essential. Anyone can throw hot steak and cheese on bun with toppings, but a real cheesesteak is all about that method of assembly.

[@DanTheMan1985ful]

XD (DEEP INHALE) I'm amazed and shocked in disbelief that none of you, not a single one of you in the comments of this video got upset about why he didn't add green bell peppers or onions to that cheese steak. AND THAT'S WHAT SUPPOSED TO GO ON A PHILLY CHEESE STEAK.

Oh yes. I love that background music... Makes all of this so much better. I'm definitely getting the cookbook too! I can't wait to try out a lot of these.

[@phiberoptick]

if you want another variant to try i have one for you. sauteed mushroom & onions no condiments. make a cheese sauce out of 50/50 sharp cheddar and provolone. then to dip it in a pizzeria style side of marinara sauce. it's good with the ribeye but try ground chicken. wrap it in foil and let it sit for about 5 minutes. the cheese sauce gets into every spot and dipping it in the marinara is a perfect counter to the chicken and cheese. its important not to put the marinara on it, but just dip it as it will sog out the beard almost instantly. also the fresher and crispier the roll the better. i would say the roll is damn near half the sandwich.

[@SketchBookShortFilms]

ketchup and mayo complement each other in a bizarrely excellent way

[@chandlerwright5460]

Add some salt and pepper with some pickle juice and you got some bomber food

Mixing the two together creates a sort of pseudo-Thousand Island dressing. I might actually prefer that to the real stuff, tbh.

I used to work at a hole in the wall joint in chicago. We had a Philly cheese steak-esque sandwich. Italian beef, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, mayo on one side & sour cream on the other, absolutely blanketed in melty mozz, on a foot long French bread. It was a heart attack waiting to happen but it is by far the best sandwich I've ever had, & even though people will always tell me it's not a true philly, it's delicious.

I got my cheesesteak from the reading terminal market and it was bomb. That meat don’t look chopped enough tho

[@BaltiSean]

hey Babish, you should try a cheesesteak "Lehigh Valley" style: toss in super-thin sweet onion slices to your meat after it's browned a little so they take in all the meaty goodness and cook through. then, pour some marinara sauce over the beef n onions and mix a little so the sauce caramelizes just a touch. Slice a crispy french roll 2/3 of the way through and line with white american cheese. Heap the beefy, oniony, saucy mixture onto the roll and top with dill pickle and hot pepper slices (pepperoncini and/or hot cherry). Extra credit if you serve with deep fried perogies but UTZ chips will work as well. remember, this is NOT a "pizza steak". The white american cheese is a must and should always be placed on the bottom. This will form a protective barrier so the bottom of the roll stays intact. Enjoy!

[@_Odin_]

Gotta love going back and watching the old videos, thinking… "Shit.. I remember when this was released!" I miss the music!. And here we are now… on the cusp of 5 million subscribers. Couldn't have happened to a better person. . Dear Mr. Babish, your channel has gotten me through so many desperate times. Think it was like 75K I got to the party. I can honestly say, I probably wouldn't be here only for discovering this channel, and then Food Wishes, BA etc. So, I thank you. Binging your videos to get me through some dark times. How apt. best video though is still that Evil Dead one! Kudos for leaving the original video up! xD Offered you a custom silicone Necronomicon at one stage on a live stream once.

I’ve apparently only watched his newer videos and expected him to make a second higher quality version and he didn’t and now my life is ruined

[@sheem8133]

Now I'm not one to normally comment on videos, but this one has caught my attention. What makes a PHILLY cheesesteak different from the steak sandwich everywhere else, is Amoroso rolls. If they don't immediately ask if you want "saltpepperketchup" then get out of there. After that you have the option to add mayo or other sauces. Then they should ask if you want "greenpeppersandfriedonions", if you can hear the individual words then expect disappointment. That's also the time to add pickles or other toppings. Lastly they should ask if you want "hots-or-nohots" that's really all the options you get. And cheesewiz has no place on your food, unless it's on cheese fries, so I don't get why it's a "debate" on whether or not it's on a cheesesteak. Now the classic philly cheesesteak should have American cheese, I don't know where y'all get this provolone nonsense from. Now don't get me started on people not knowing what a cheesesteak hoagie is...

[@breadfan262]

I’m from PA. Not Philly but I’ve been there. Pittsburgh knows how to make a Philly cheesesteak too. No ketchup or mayo, grilled peppers and onions, mix the provolone in on the flat top.
