Cheese steaks

Updated: Mar 25, 2022

This mini-series is dedicated to my son Lucifer. Simple and delicious quick meals that can be done in the campus apartment.


There are few things in life better than a good cheese steak. While Philadelphia is famous for this tasty delicacy, many places do a really good job of putting forth some form of steak sandwich.


Biggies Clam Bar of Hoboken NJ has one of the best cheese steaks I’ve ever had. Biddy O’Malley’s of Northvale NJ also has a great steak sandwich. Some places serve hangar steak on the sandwich, same ball park, whole different level of deliciousness.


What better way to serve a piece of meat than to top it with the fermented milk of the animal from which it came. Well, that does not sound appetizing at all does it, actually kinda barbaric?


I have done this several different ways, including slicing a bottom round paper thin, or slicing filet mignon into 1/8 inch slices. The easiest, by far, is to purchase “Old Neighborhood Shaved Beef Steak - 14oz”. Pretty much every grocery store carries this and it saves a lot of time. You can make 3 or 4 cheese steaks from one package.


Ok – so here we go


1 Sweet Onion (can be Vidalia or yellow) sliced thin

1 green bell pepper sliced thin

4 tablespoons olive oil

About a pound of thinly sliced beef – or shaved beef

3 or 4 hoagie rolls

Salt and Pepper

Onion powder and garlic powder optional

3 – 6 slices of real American Cheese or Cheez Whiz


Sauté the onions and peppers in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. If you can’t watch it like a baby, then keep the flame very low. Toss them occasionally. This can take up to ½ hour if the flame is very low


When the peppers and onions are done you can start with the beef. If you are on a campus and don't have an extra no stick pan, just remove the peppers and onions from the pan you just used and reuse the pan to fry the steaks.


In 3 – 4 oz batches, sauté the beef. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper, and garlic powder and onion powder if desired.


When the steak is cooked through, place it on the roll with some peppers and onions and of course cheese


Serve Hot





Kiss yourself for making deliciousness.
