Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (((Authentic)))

OK, this is NOT, NOT, NOT a Philly Cheesesteak if you use deli roast beef. You must use thinly sliced rib eye. And the poster has personal preferences in the recipe. I do not know of a single place that has garlic in the sandwich unless requested. Also, as a BASIC original cheesesteak, 99% of places do not use bell peppers. This would still be a good sandwich if made as described, but it would NOT be AUTHENTIC. Trust a 250 pound guy who has probably eaten 1000 of them in his life - and has had heart bypass as proof, LOL.

Love this - but wanted to spice it up a bit. I added Chili Garlic Sauce that I get at my Asian grocery. Wonderful!

Alan Leonetti failed to mention that some kind of magic occurs to bring all of these wonderful flavors together! You will not believe it until you try it yourself. Thanks for a recipe so good that after years of dedication to food.com I finally registered just to review this incredible sandwich!

This recipe should be resubmitted as a roast beef sandwich. The othere reviewer is correct, this is not a Philly cheesesteak. It does not contain the correct meat or trimmings. Also, you can't put it on any roll from the supermarket. It needs to be a hoagie roll from an Italian bakery to give it that authentic taste. Oh..and you forgot the garbage can..you need to lean over the can as you eat the sandwich so the grease can drip into it!

OMG...so good. I have another steak sandwich recipe that I REALLY like, but that recipe does not include cheese (it is not a Philly cheese steak recipe). So, whenever I make the other recipe, my husband always ask for cheese. I don't give in because I don't like to stray from the original recipe. So, I made this exactly as written. No complaints, wouldn't change a thing. As much as I like my other recipe, this was really nice to have a different kind of steak sandwich.

Followed the instructions exactly but was not impressed with the outcome. Time to prep and cook are way off too. If this is the authentic sandwich, it's just another reason to dislike Philadelphia

Boy, do I love a purist. This is just an all round perfect Philly. The only problem with serving this sandwich is that you'll have a very quiet table, since everyone's mouth will be full at all times.
I added mayo to the hoagies, otherwise made it just as instructed....a simple excellent meal.

This is my go to recipe for a Philly Cheesesteak now! I love it!! SO easy and tastes perfect! I can even easily modify it to make a "Philly ChickenSteak" as well.

Thank you!!

We really liked this recipe! I had a real philly in Philadelphia from a street vendor, and I was looking for a recipe like that, and this is it! Easy to make too. I used lunch meat (in the glad containers) and it worked just fine. We have made this a few times.

WOW! This was the best cheesesteak I've ever had. The whole family snarfed it down in minutes. We like a lot of cheese, so we placed two slices of provolone inside the bread, and another slice on top of the meat. There was one sandwich left over, so we refrigerated it, and I really didn't expect it to be so great the next day when we heated it, but it was even better, if that's possible. It really gave the juices a chance to soak into the bread. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe!

DH and I really enjoyed this for our Friday night dinner. I couldn't really figure out how I was supposed to do the provolone, so I put a layer of cheese on the bottom of the roll, then the meat mixture and topped with another layer of cheese and put them in the oven until the cheese melted. I used deli roast beef. This was very easy to do. Thanks for posting.

Yum, I think it was a little under seasoned, but that's my bad. This dish was enjoyed by two east coast natives living on the west coast. We so miss home and dishes like this always light up a long work week. Thanks for posting.

Great sandwich! I used some medium rare leftover rib eye steak thinly sliced. Easy and good. Thanks Alan for a keeper. Made for Zaar Alphabet Chef Soup Tag.

This was sooo easy! I added an 8 oz package of mushrooms, and used Boar's head roast beef. Added some salt, pepper, garlic powder to the meat and served it all on Toasted hoagie buns from Publix with mayo and provolone.

Very good! My parents owned a deli when I was growing up and this really took me back to those great Phillies they always made! Sooo good! I did toast the sub buns in the oven & also sprinkled the onion-pepper mix with some seasoning salt. Awesome sandwich! Thank you :)

This is one of those recipes I can only make a few times a year due to the fact that we made total pigs out of ourselves. I used rare deli roast beef-once the onions and peppers were cut this came together in under 5 minutes-big bonus! I also used provolone-my Husband opted for Cheese Whiz. He did take a bite of mine half way through the feast and was miffed-live and learn! Served with Onion Rings. Thank you for posting this recipe-it will be made again and again! Di ;-)

Having been born and raised in the Philly area, I was used to being able to get great cheesesteaks. However, once I moved to North Carolina, they became a distant memory. No offense to North Carolinians, but what they consider an "authentic" Philly cheesesteak doesn't come close. I made this recipe last night and was thrilled with the results. The sandwich had all the same tastes and textures that I remembered and will be made many more times. Thanks Alan for sharing this recipe and temporarily transporting me back to my roots.

This is very good!I had a leftover roast and cut it into thin slices to use on this sandwich.I used a multi grain baguette with mustard spread on it.For the cheese,I used sliced processed cheese and some cheddar.Once the sandwich was put together I heated the entire thing in the oven to melt the cheese and toast the bread.It was delicious!
