One of America's most popular and well-known sandwiches is synonymous with the city of Philadelphia. We are, of course, talking about the Cheesesteak, often imitated, rarely duplicated (especially by me). There are a few variations of the cheesesteak available, even in Philadelphia, but the correct order is always "whiz wit." That is cheese whiz with fried onions. You could also choose American or provolone cheese with or without but trust me, you'll want to go with the whiz wit. In 1930, the cheesesteak was invented when Pat Olivieri, a hot dog vendor, threw beef on his grill to make a sandwich. The rest is history, and you can still visit Pat's King of Steaks on E. Passyunk Ave across the street from famed rival Geno's. (Pat's is the better choice on that street). Personally, Jim's on South Street remains my favorite spot in Philly, and you cannot discount Bourdain's favorite cheesesteak not in Pennsylvania but in Camden, NJ at Donkey's Place. Where ever you get your favorite cheesesteak, there are countless articles of where you can find the "best" one, so get out there and start eating them, or don't.
Ingredients:
1lb sandwich steak round top
one onion
1 can of cheese whiz
Italian sub rolls
1. Slice your onion and saute it for 5-7 minutes, until carmalized.
2. Move onions to the side, place your sandwich steak and chop up until browned.
