Philly Cheesesteaks With Melted Fontina And Sauteed Red Onions Recipes

PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap and put it into the freezer for 45 minutes. It should be firm but not completely frozen.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they are soft and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooked onions and peppers for another use, such as the Round 2 Recipe Chili Tostada.
• In a medium pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook until it just starts to bubble and thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cheese and cayenne. Stir occasionally as the cheese melts. Cover and keep warm.
• With a sharp knife, slice the meat into very thin strips. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and cook the meat until it is done to your liking, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Divide the onion and pepper mixture among the 4 rolls. Top with the meat and the cheese sauce.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS WITH MELTED FONTINA AND SAUTEED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over high heat.
• Saute onion until wilted and just starting to color, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle onions with salt while cooking.
• Slice the steak into very thin slices. (Partially freezing enables you to slice it very thin.).
• Remove onions from skillet.
• Salt and pepper (and season if desired) steak slices then saute in same skillet, in batches until cooked thru, about 45 seconds per side.
• Repeat process for the remaining steak slices, adding more oil as needed.
• Meanwhile, melt the cheese cubes in a microwave-safe bowl on low power for a couple of minutes or until completely melted. (Actually do this right before assembly, cuz the cheese cools off too quickly.).
• Cut each roll in half lengthwise. Fill each roll with steak, onions and melted cheese.
• Enjoy!
