Serves 4
This simple beef, cheese, and onion sandwich (on an Italian roll)
originated in Philadelphia in the 1930s. Since then, many variations
that include different types of cheese and additional vegetables
have become popular. The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich is a perfect
tailgate treat!
1 pound eye-of-round steak
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
2 bell peppers (any color), seeded and thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil
8 ounces Muenster cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons milk
dash hot pepper sauce
4 hoagie loaves of bread
Thinly slice eye-of-round steak across the grain. In a medium
bowl, combine steak slices, sherry, olive oil, garlic, and oregano
(and salt and pepper to taste, if desired), stirring to combine. Let
marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the
refrigerator. Combine bell peppers, onion, and 1 teaspoon olive oil
in a bowl; reserve. In a small saucepan, heat cheese with milk and
hot pepper sauce on low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth,
about 4 to 5 minutes. Reserve and keep warm. Heat a nonstick
stove-top grill or griddle on medium-high heat. Keeping the beef and
vegetables separate on the grill, cook marinated beef, reserved
peppers and onions for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring and turning
occasionally using a nonstick-safe spatula (wooden or plastic),
until beef is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are
tender. To assemble sandwiches, spoon some of the beef mixture,
along with bell peppers and onions, into split hoagie loaves. Spoon
some of the cheese sauce on top. Serve hot.
