Philly Burger

The Philly Cheese steak and my love affair with it began in our first little hole in the wall Submarine sandwich shop.

This Philly Burger has all the flavors of the classic cheese steak and elevates it to higher level with a juicy cheese burger that will have you drooling from the smell of the onions and peppers frying.

My mama who worked with me until she couldn’t anymore, would start frying the onions and peppers just about lunch time. The aroma from the onions and peppers could be smelled blocks away, following it to our little hole in the wall. It was a smart marketing tool in the pre social media years. In that version we used rib eye steak, provolone cheese and severed it on sub rolls, shown I served it on  brioche buns and sharp cheddar cheese

Make it Your Own

In this Philly Burger I used a 4 oz. beef patty and sharp cheddar cheese. That’s not what you have to use, you can try the same recipe with a chicken burger, a veggie burger or leave the burger out altogether.

If you want to go the vegetarian route use tofu instead of the steak or just use onions and peppers smothered in the cheese of your choice is delicious too.  I’ve also make it using chicken breast and experiencing with different cheeses.

This recipe lends it’s self to experimentation so have fun and experiment.

I buy the steak at Trader Joe’s, but you can ask you butcher to slice it for you, if you want a fancier sandwich use thicker sliced meat, any way you slice it, it’s delicious, comes together quick, is easy and it’s one of those family pleasing meals for the picky eaters,

because your able to add, subtract, and change ingredients, to fit your lifestyle and taste!!!
