Sunnys North Philly Cheesesteak Recipes

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Thinly slice the ribeye against the grain. To find the grain of the meat, just look closely at it to see what direction the muscle fibers lay. Slice through the fibers rather than in between them.
• Cut the rolls, keeping one log side attached. Spread butter on the cut sides, and toast in a hot skillet until lightly browned and golden. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and sauté until the vegetables are lightly browned and the onions are translucent. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil and spread the thin strips of steak in a thin layer. Cook for a minute or two or until they're browned, then flip to the other side, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it's fully cooked.
• Add the vegetables back to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat, add the provolone cheese to the top of the mixture and let it gently melt for about a minute.
• Stuff the toasted hoagie rolls with the warm cheesy steak mixture and serve warm with potato chips and pickle spears.

SUNNY'S CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Place flank steak, red wine vinegar, zest lime juice, cilantro, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and ground black pepper in a large plastic bag. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove flank steak and pat dry. Place in freezer for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Melt butter over medium heat-high heat in a sauce pot. Add flour, chipotle and adobo sauce, stir to combine. Add heavy cream slowly, stirring well with each addition to incorporate. Add cheese and stir until melted. Keep over low heat while finishing sandwich.
• Remove flank steak from freezer and slice on the bias against the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast iron griddle or skillet, and saute the red peppers until they blacken around the edges, and soften, about 8 minutes. Remove from griddle and turn heat to medium-high, add more oil if necessary and sear steak in batches, about 2 minutes.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Cut bread loaves in half, leaving 1 side attached. Layer on avocado slices, top with flank steak, red pepper, and cilantro. Drizzle with chipotle cheese sauce and serve immediately.

TONY LUKE'S AUTHENTIC PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

• Heat Cheese Whiz and keep warm.
