How do you MAKE your Philly cheesesteaks?

[drs1321]

After reading the Philly cheesesteak thread on here, I decided I want one for dinner. Nowhere around here makes a decent one though, so I guess I'm making my own. Does anyone use sliced rib eye over steak ums, or is the frozen stuff easier?

I live in Jersey and visit Philly very often... Get the frozen stuff, cook it up in the pan. Get some cheese wiz, and fry up some onions and peppers. Place it all on a nice roll. The roll in my opinion makes it.

non-frozen is the way to go, I thinly slice ribeye, add salt and pepper, quarter to a half clove of minced garlic, diced red and green peppers, some onion, olive oil and stir fry. Once the meat is cooked, top with provolone and jack cheese and when its melted, put the whole mess onto a toasted french role and spread a little garlic aioli.

you can pretty much concoct whatever you like, and use chicken, beef, whatever. I think unless you can get one from a place that makes good Philly's, homemade is better than the frozen stuff. Just my opinion and YMMV

Can you get some steaks thin/shave sliced at your grocery meat counter? That would be nice. Then cook like described. True philly's come "whiz, wit" and have cheese whiz and onions, but put whatever you like.

We just have steakies (steakums)...

I always liked the Steak-Ums. Not bad for frozen meat. But.... Ribeye... mmmmm

Damn, you're making me hungry. I haven't made one myself in a while. I have a Penn Station pretty close to where I live so I usually go there for them. They're not the traditional Philly cheesesteaks but they're pretty good.

In my restaurant, I don't call it a Philly, but I use NY Strip smoked to about 120*F, then sliced thin. I put on the grill to heat it up cover with provolone and then onions and melt the cheese. Onto a toasted hoagie and out the door.

Ive never been to Philly to have an original,but this is a tasty one I do at home.

I very finely piece ribeye, add spice up and sodium, quarter to a half clove of chopped garlic oil, chopped red and green sweet peppers, some red onion, essential olive oil and mix fry. Once the various meats is prepared, top with provolone and port mozzarella dairy product and when its dissolved, put the whole clutter onto a roasted people from france role and spread a little garlic oil aioli.....
