MICHAEL'S FAMOUS PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. Tightly roll the eye round steak into a torpedo or log shape. Wrap tightly in plastic. Place log in freezer for 45 minutes to firm the beef into a tight but not frozen texture.
• 2. Remove plastic, and working quickly, use an electric knife to slice the beef into paper-thin strips, almost shaving the beef. If this does not work well, use a sharp knife and cut the beef into the thinnest slices possible, then flatten the slices using a meat tenderizer. Refrigerate slices until ready to cook.
• 3. Peel and halve onion. Slice into paper-thin half moon pieces. Halve the peppers, remove and discard seeds, and then slice into thick wedges.
• 4. Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until caramelized and softened, stirring frequently. Do not allow them to brown. Transfer onions to bowl; add pepper to same skillet, still over low heat. Cook peppers 10 to 15 minutes, until soft and tender, flipping often. Transfer to bowl with onions. Season onion-pepper mixture to taste. Cover bowl to keep warm.
• 5. In a clean skillet, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook the beef in 2 batches, until lightly browned and cooked through, stirring often. Add olive oil if necessary.
• 6. To serve: Pile beef strips, peppers and onions and cheese slices inside a hero roll.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
• Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
• Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
• Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
• Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
• Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
• If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
• Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
• When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH AS IT SHOULD BE MADE... AUTHENTIC!

Steps:

• Have your butcher slice a thick ribeye into slices as thin as he (or she) can. If you like the original (Pat's) chop the slices into bite sized pieces. If you like Geno's then don't chop.
• Start a double boiler up & place the cheez whiz in it to warm up, if you can't find that size just any squeeze bottle will do as long as it's cheez whiz, that's the important part.
• Place onions in some butter on a griddle or in a large skillet and cook until nicely carmelized.
• Scootch them over & add beef, turn once browned, when done just scootch them over to cook the rest of the meat. You don't want to overlap the meat while it's cooking.
• Place a nice heap of the beef onto a hoagie roll, no need to warm the roll, it's positively awesome as is, add a good heap of the onions & slather with the cheese whiz. That's it! Enjoy the hell out of it, these are SO DARNED GOOD! Trust me, it was the hit of our little super bowl party -- .
