Philly Cheesesteak

JUMP TO RECIPE

Kurt and I love cheesesteaks and often order them from our local pizza pub.  When I've stood at the counter watching them make them on their grill, a lightbulb went off how quick and easy they'd be to make them at home.  Most local grocery stores sell some kind of packaged beef shaved steak, which allows you to whip up your own scrumptious Philly cheesesteak that's ready in under 30 minutes.  
Buying a good quality hoagie roll, buttering it, and toasting it in a skillet is key.  It takes the sandwich from good to great.  I love the combo of sauteed yellow onions and red bell peppers, but the beauty is, you can use whatever veggies you'd like.  If green bell peppers are your thing, go green.  Sometimes I'll even sauté some button mushrooms to mix in.  
Now down to the cheese.  You could actually make cheesesteaks three days in a row, use a different cheese, and you'll have yourself a different sandwich each day.  We like provolone, but I do float between using it and white American.  If you're feeling adventurous (and naughty), you could smother it in Cheez Whiz.  Now I've got your attention, don't I?  So, next time you're in the mood for a cheesesteak, give it a whirl and make your own.  They're versatile, quick, easy, and nothing short of delicious.
