My favorite sandwich is are Philly Cheesesteaks, I order them at any restaurant that I go to that serves them. In Charleston my favorite places to eat Philly Cheesesteaks are at the Southside 17 Bar & Grill, and also YE OLE FASHIONED CAFE & ICE CREAM in West Ashley.
They are a classic sandwich and loved by so many people. Follow along to make an amazing Philly Cheesesteak with chopped steak, gooey cheese, onions, and peppers.
Ingredients:
2 pounds steak
2 onions
4 cloves garlic
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Sliced Mushrooms (Optional)
Hoagie Rolls
slices of provolone cheese
Directions:
- Slice the onions so that you have long slices of onion. Place in a bowl.
- Slice the red and green peppers into long strips and place in a bowl.
- Dice up the garlic and place in the bowl with the onions and peppers.
- Chop steak into small pieces. You can do this by slicing the steak into slices and then rotate the cut slices and cut again into smaller pieces. Rotate the cut slices again, and cut again. Keep repeating until the steak is cut into tiny pieces about 1/4 inch in size or smaller. Set aside the cut meat.
- Melt 2 tbsp of onion into your pre-heated pan. Pour the sliced vegetables into a preheated pan and cook until the vegetables are soft and cooked through.
- Add chopped meat to the pan of vegetables and continue cooking.
- Add the salt and pepper to the meat and vegetables.
- When the meat is about 2/3 cooked you can add mushrooms if you want. This is optional since not everyone likes mushrooms.
- Cook until all liquid from the vegetables has evaporated form the pan and the meat is cooked through.
- Once meat is cooked through remove the meat and place in a bowl and set aside.
- Rinse the pan and add melt 1 1/2 tbsp butter in the pan. Once butter is melted add your hoagie buns and cook on both sides until lightly toasted. Then remove hoagie buns and set aside.
- In the same pan, add enough meat and vegetables back into the pan to fill one hoagie bun. (Approximately 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the meat and vegetable mixture). Then add slices of provolone cheese on top of the mix mixture and cook until the cheese is melted.
- Once the cheese is melted you can remove the meat mixture from the plan and place on top of the hogie buns.
- Enjoy your philly cheesesteak!
