Philly Cheesesteak

Hi guys,

Happy November, the month of Thanks…..Giving!!!!

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

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 pretzel rolls and sharp cheddar because that’s what I had, and am all about using what iI have on hand.

I’ve also make it using chicken breast and experiencing with different cheeses. These recipe lends it’s self to experimentation so have fun and experiment. If you put good ingredients in the

finished product will be good too.

I don’t tell you how much salt to use in any of my recipes, that’s a personal taste. what might be salty to me might be bland to you.

keep in mind less is more, you can add, subtracting is a little harder.

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!!!

Restaurant style recipes, simplified for the home cook…..Enjoy!!!!
