his from pats kings of steaks in philly - supposed to be about the best cheesesteak receipe

Philly cheesesteak sandwich

Ingredients (serves four):

1 1/2 lbs rib-eye beef

You can use other types of beef but you may need to cook them for a little longer for them to become tender

4 split white hot-dog rolls

1 large white onion

1 large red pepper

1 large green pepper

8 slices of provolone cheese

Salt and pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1- Slice the rib-eye steak as thinly as possible. Most Asian markets will sell very thin pre-sliced rib eye for use in Korean BBQ. If you do not have an Asian store nearby, partially freeze the beef. This allows you to slice it more thinly than when it has thawed.

2- Slice the onion and separate into rings

3- Core and de-seed the peppers, and slice into thin strips.

4- Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan.

5- When it comes up to temperature, add the onions and peppers.

6- Cook them for five minutes, stirring occasionally so the onions are cooked but not colored and the peppers are soft.

7- Transfer the onions and peppers to a bowl.

8- Return the frying pan to the heat and add the beef.

9- Cook the beef, searing on both sides. I like to add a little water once they have seared to make a delicious jus, which soaks into the bread in the end result.

10- Add a pinch of salt and a good twist of black pepper.

11- Cook the beef slices until tender and then return the onions and peppers to the pan.

12- Mix the beef, onions and peppers well and then layer the top with the slices of provolone cheese.

13- While the cheese is melting, split and lightly toast the hot-dog buns.

14- When the cheese has melted, stir it well into the mixture of beef, onions and peppers.

15- Layer the mixture onto your hot-dog buns and serve.

My variation of cheesesteak is a bit different.

I cook the onions and peppers, then throw in a bunch of stilton blue cheese get that melted and finally throw in thin strips of rump steak - takes a few minutes to cook and slap that on a roll or between a couple of doorsteps of homemade bread :-)

The addition of a cheese with a definite flavour and blue cheese in particularly really lifts the beef.
Juices come from the peppers and melted cheese and beef - seriously good juice.

Probably throw in cbp and salt as well.

Not claiming authenticity - but damn it tastes good :-)
Beware the slings of outrageous fortune (bows and arrows are for wimps ;-)
