Yep, a Cheese Steak. I was officially born in Philly and hang out there a lot, but this here is the Philly Suburbs version of a Cheese Steak. This s how we did 'em at the Pickle's and the Backstage Restaurant in New Hope, PA.

Ingredients
- 4-6 oz. Beef Rib-Eye (or Beef Top Round, a frozen product) sliced paper thin, almost shredded
- 1 dash Sea Salt
- 1 dash Pepper, White, Ground
- 1 8-10" Torpedo Roll Steak Roll (rolls from Philly are the best - Amaroso's, etc...)

Units:
Instructions
- Cut the roll open length-wise and line with the Provolone Cheese.
- Melt the cheese under a broiler. (Just melted a little, the heat of the steak will do the rest).
- On a hot, oiled griddle, or hot, oiled heavy pan, put the steak meat.
- Using tongs and a spatula, or 2 spatulas, work the meat apart, spread it around, and chop it into smaller pieces as it cooks and browns.
- If using Fried Onions, have them ready to go and already heating.
- Season the meat with Salt and Pepper and continue cooking.
- Load the meat in the roll on top of the melted cheese. If you are using Fried Onions, put them on top of the steak.
- Cut the steak in half and serve with Potato Chips and a Kosher Pickle spear.
Recipe Notes
There are a million versions of this, but this one is pretty close to the original. Me, I like mine with American Cheese, a lot of mayo, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes... what we calls up here a Cheesesteak Hoagie, what I calls Thursday Night Dinner.
