Philly cheese steak

[Rebecca]

Who likes Philly cheese steaks? I fix them about once a month.

I love looking at new recipes and up popped one for cheese steaks. It looked great until I saw....Cheez Whiz!

Oh that is so wrong! lol

What do you all put on yours?

[LucyVanPelt]

Geno's and Pat's in Philly use Cheeze Whiz. They try to tell us we aren't really Philly if we don't order cheeze whiz.

I prefer American or Provolone. Always with fried onions and mushrooms. Sometimes a "hoagie" with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Sometimes with tomato sauce. Sometimes just ketchup.

[Rebecca]

I use provolone with mushrooms, green peppers and onions.

I wouldn't be able to do the cheeze whiz

I like provolone and maaaaaaybe some ketchup, but that's it. I'm kind of a purist.

Question - what meat do you use for your cheese steaks? Do you actually slice up a ribeye?

[LucyVanPelt]

The good cheesesteak places use real ribeye. Other places will use sirloin, or the frozen stuff (blech!).

[KayKay]

Yeah, I grew up using the frozen stuff. I can totally live without that.

I might try to make it with a ribeye. So what do you do... slice it while the meat is raw then saute? (I have a slicer). Do you make a sauce out of the cheese or just slap on a slice of provolone and let it melt?
