How to make AND EAT a Philly Cheesesteak
I saw a post where someone shared her recipie for a cheesesteak which she called steak and cheese and I couldnt stand to think that some people might not be enjoying these the right way so here's my recipe. I'm from Philadelphia so I can tell you how to properly make and eat a low carb cheesesteak.
For one cheesesteak
3/4 to 1.5 lbs of chipped steak (steak ums will do but arent too good, try the other brands or just get some thinly sliced steak and chop it up.
Salt (to your taste)
Pepper (to your taste)
Garlic powder (to your taste) can also use adobo if you want but dont tell, they dont even know what that is in philly.
1-2 slices of American or Provolone cheese
Green Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms (optional)
You can break up the frozen steak first into thin strips and then start cooking it and keep shredding it up as you are. To be honest I cant seem to shred it up right. I'm almost positive it is only done with a metal spatula.
If you want onions or peppers or mushrooms fry them on the side, not mixed with the meat. Also season them only with salt, pepper, a little garlic powder/salt.
Make sure to turn the steak over and flip it so it cooks evenly. As soon as theres no more pink left place the cheese on top of the meat to let it melt. DONT TOUCH IT! You can use American, provolone or if you want to splurge-cheese whiz which is the really the best.
After the cheese has melted put it on a plate, add the vegtables if you fried some, season with some salt, pepper and thats it.
Of course you can put whatever you like on it but theres one sacred rule you broke-never put mayo on a cheesesteak!! Thats like asking the pope if he's married.
I highly recommend the chicken steaks if they are available in your area-less greasy, healtheir and taste just as good if not better. Ask them to order them at your market. Let me know if you try this,
