This has been our go to base recipe for years and recently Food Network pulled it off their website, so thank you for adding it here, so I can always access it.

Hey NWGal...I made the assumption that the oven was to warm and soften the rolls. This is what I did and they were delicious! This is the first time I've ever made Philly Cheese Steaks and I am in love! So easy and so good!

We'll be using this for our standard recipe for Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches for now on (with Provolone cheese). Yum, yum! But I'm a bit confused about the recipe directions. What is the purpose of pre-heating the oven to 200 degrees? According to the recipe directions, all of the cooking is done on the stove. There are no instructions to put anything in the oven, so why pre-heat the oven? Did I miss something?
