RECIPE (makes 4 sandwiches)
▪1 large white onion, medium diced
▪Neutral oil (canola, grapeseed, avocado, etc)
▪Salt
▪Pepper
▪1kg/2lb Shaved steak (prepackaged/store bought is fine, but for something fancier ask your butcher for shaved dry aged sirloin or ribeye or slice your own at home)
Hoagie rolls (storebought or see recipe/video below)
CHEESE OPTIONS:
▪Easier/quicker version: Thinly sliced provolone and white american “cheese” - 2 slices of each per sandwich
▪From scratch cheese sauce/cheese whiz (recipe below)
Preheat 10” pan (i’m using cast iron) over medium-high. When hot, add a squeeze of oil, followed by onions and a large pinch of salt. Stir to combine and reduce heat to low to cook for 15 minutes. When onions are tender and have taken on some color, they’re done. Set aside onions and wipe out pan.
Run your knife through the steak to break down the slices into smaller pieces. Divide steak into 4 220g/8oz portions
Increase heat under cast iron to high. Add in squeeze of oil and the steak (as many portions as you’d like), flattened and pressed out for max surface area on pan. Topped with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Seer for about 90 seconds. After 90 seconds or when a deep brown has developed on the bottom. Stir the meat to expose more of the surface to the pan. Add about 20g or 2 tbsp of onions and reduce heat to low and continue to cook until beef loses almost all of its pink color, about 60 more seconds.
Before building sandwich, heat hoagie in a 375F/190C oven until warm and toasty.
If using the homemade cheese option, skip ahead to number 2 below.
If using the quick sliced cheese option 1, this is where you’ll add 2 slices of american cheese into the pan with the steak for each portion of steak you’re cooking. Stir to combine and melt into steak. Pull warmed hoagie from oven and layer on 2 slices of provolone per sandwich, top with steak/melty cheese mix, wrap in parchment.
2. If going for the homemade cheese whiz option, start by liberally spreading the cheese sauce on the hoagie, top with a portion of the steak/onion mix and top with another drizzle of cheese sauce. Wrap in parchment and enjoy.
CHEESE SAUCE / HOMEMADE CHEESE WIZ RECIPE
▪220g/8oz extra sharp cheddar (block)
▪10g or 4tsp cornstarch
▪240g or about 1c evaporated milk
Shred cheddar and add to a nonstick pan. Add cornstarch and toss to coat cheese. Add evap milk and heat slowly over low to melt cheese, stirring frequently, for 4-5 mins or until sauce is smooth and creamy.
To reheat cheese sauce or remove any grainy texture, add a bit more evap milk and continue stirring over low. Thanks to Kenji Lopez Alt for this technique and cheese sauce recipe. Check his article here: www.seriouseat...

This video is like déjà vu. A friend of mine commented back in October that he had never had a proper cheesesteak and I ended up making him one using your hoagie roll recipe rolled in sesame seeds (I used ribeye, onions and sharp provolone). Your recipes are great and so easy to follow. Keep up the awesome content!

[@dROUDebateMeCowards]

Your best bet if you do it in the future is something lean like top round, then tallow as the cooking fat. Far cheaper than using ribeye and more authenticity flavored.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

of all the youtube videos about making cheesesteaks i've seen, this is by far the most authentic and most appetizing. too many people try to alter the cheesesteak and make it fancy which completely ruins what it is.

LOL! I love your dad! In the '80s, my uncle had a Philly Cheese Steak & Hoagie chain in NYC, called "Philly Mignon", which imported everything from Philly every morning, so this brought back lots of memories! He sold it to a franchiser that turned out to be laundering drug money, so when the buyers got arrested, it didn't turn into the Chick-Fil-A - or the Portillo's - of Philly Cheese Steaks, like it was supposed to do!

[@hhiser6206]

You have made the classic Midwestern Steak sandwich with cheese. Only the tourists ask for cheese wiz, is it really cheese no one will say. A Philly cheese steak will be made with thinly shaved ribeye steak, fried onions hot and sweet peppers and provolone or sharp cheddar cheese on a Italian bread roll. Extras may include tomato sauce , mushrooms and garlic. The meat is more finely chopped or ripped with pepper and salt, no red meat should show. Look for any youtube on Angelo's in Philly they make it the best.

[@michaelevans9242]

Brian, I've made 6 of your recipes so far- ALL BANGERS! I just made General Tso's chicken - it has earned a place in the weeknight rotation for sure. I grew up around Ybor City in Tampa, FL and had delicious Cuban food all the time. Your Cuban Sandwich hit the nostalgia spot for sure. The Cuban bread was very good; approaches the taste you would get at famous bakeries like La Segunda Central and Mauricio Faedo's. Using a pre-ferment like poolish also adds fantastic flavor. GREAT WORK. Love the content, keep it up!

[@maheshseth751]

I made this few days ago and it was so delicious. I asked my wholefoods butcher to shave the meat at the store which was pretty easy for them to do. Anyways, the dinner tasted like million bucks! I love your each approachable and flavor packing recipes!

[@johnnybrix717]

As a life long Philadelphian that weighs 275lbs and has literally eaten thousands of cheesesteaks and worked at some of the busiest steak shops in the city, I have to say you’ve made the best looking home steak outside of Philly I’ve seen. Can’t speak on the taste but looks good. My only tips would be to bake your bread a little longer. I stead of plain American try Cooper Sharp. It’s just aged American with a creamier taste and melts better. I would stay away from the sear on the steak. It’s too thin to sear and tends to dry it out a little, where as on an actual steak a good sear locks in flavor. And I know it sounds god awful; and I’m not a fan of it myself on anything else. But mayo absolutely makes a cheesesteak better. I’m not a mayo eater, don’t use it on hoagies or sandwiches, but once I was convinced to try it on a cheesesteak you can’t go back. Also; I use a deli slicer at home as well. Try to trim some of the excess fat off ribeye, then freeze it for about 60-90 minutes before slicing, and slice about 1/8 inch thick. About the with of a wrapped up Kraft single. Makes for the best consistency. Just a few of my tips as a self acclaimed cheesesteak expert. But very well done……

[@darthvader5532]

[@aundreamcpherson5979]

I don’t have a stand mixer and am only semi-good at baking, but I was still able to make the bread and it came out amazing! I just threw all the ingredients into a food processor and mixed it on low until it looked nice and smooth like the video showed. Super thrilled on my first loaf of bread like this. Thanks for the video!

[@bitburg40]

Loved the cheese sauce idea. I use it for macaroni and cheese now too. Sauce stays smooth even when I reheat it using more evaporated milk.

[@djoscartj]

Made these today and OMG, sooo good! I was able to find that exact same shaved meat at the supermarket, so it made things a whole lot easier. What a banger move to add white American cheese to the meat/onion mix and then provolone to the toasted hoagie! 🤌

We used to own a restaurant but sold the business decades ago, keeping the building. After a number of different owners over the years, the last guy failed and walked away, leaving everything behind. Since we still owned the building, we got possession of everything. We sold what we could and kept what we wanted before selling the building to the city (they turned it into a library). So that's how I got a commercial quality meat slicer. And I can confirm, while it slices extremely well, it is still a pain to clean.

[@SKMike7777]

As a Philly area native, The first meat you used is my go to for quick sandwiches. The way you mixed the cheese in was perfect. But steam the roll over the cooking meat/cheese instead of heating in the oven. You also use mor onion than i prefer but that completely preference. Your final 2 options are both good but not shaved thin enough for my liking. I also cut the meat like you do but I do 1/4" cuts not 1" cuts. It makes things alot more eatable and less stringy in the long run. But overall I like what you did.

Outstanding Job Bri!!!! Philly cheesesteak is truly an American dish and I love how you focused on the ingredients for fast and for "pro" versions and referring to the homemade bread video if a person wanted to make their own. This gave you time to explain more on the meat and how to get the best out of it. LOVE the cheese sauce recipe too, thats definitely going on the to do list. The Hubs is all about cheese sauce lol. I have to say that this is honestly one of your best presented videos imo. You've got it all covered with needed technique teaching/info, goofy smiles, guest appearances, and the added bonus of Lauren. Sorry, I'm with her on the slicer lol. I see fingers flying from that thing. This came out so good I could see this as a 30min program. Thanks again, love what you're doing. 😊

[@meta2016]

Hey man just came across your video and I must admit brother I found myself admiring your cast iron pan and the seasoning you have on it, well done sir well done

[@B__C]

A seeded roll is a must. There's a place in South Jersey that makes it's own whiz and adds pickled sweet peppers and hot Cheetos to one of it's specialty steak sandwiches. Creamy whiz, tart from the sweet peppers, heat and crunch from the Cheetos. HOLY $HIT is that amazing!!! Also making garlic bread out of your seeded roll in the cheesesteak adds a ton of flavor.

[@RyanRoat]

fyi, I've had an extremely similar slicer for, not exactly sure, but at least a decade. It looks (and sounds) almost identical except for the blade mounting. It gets used maybe 2-3 times per year. I acquired it to slice homemade corned beef for sandwiches. It still works as expected for an occasional small to moderate project in a home kitchen. Now my grilling buddies borrow it once or twice a year to slice up pastrami. I'm waiting for the time it gives up the ghost, but it keeps chugging along. Also, as a Philly guy, I appreciate these recipes as being consistent with how we do it here. Every kitchen has their own routine, and none of these steaks are out of place. I like my rolls not too crusty and without the seeds, but that's not a deal breaker.

One thing that you can do is to "gut" the roll, or remove some of the soft bread in the roll to make a trench for the meat. This makes a sandwich that is easier to hold and improves the bread to meat ratio.
