CHEESESTEAK CALZONE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• In large skillet, cook chipped steak with onion until meat is no longer pink. Break up meat with spatula and drain meat.
• Lightly grease an 11" x 14" cookie sheet. Gently spread dough out on cookie sheet to a rectangle about 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Spoon ricotta cheese down the middle lengthwise. Arrange cooked chipped steak/onion mix on top. Top with green peppers and mushrooms (if using them). Top with slices of American cheese. Gently fold long ends together, pressing down seams to seal. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
• Serve with hot pizza sauce for dipping.

CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• In a large saute pan or griddle, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute, and then add the onions, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook the onions until caramelized, stirring throughout the process, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
• Spread the softened butter on the interiors of the rolls and cook, butter-side down, on a griddle until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the rolls, add the raw steak to the griddle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook briefly, shredding the meat into small pieces with two metal spatulas. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes.
• Portion the meat into four piles, and top each pile with 3 slices of the provolone. Continue to cook until the cheese melts (putting on the lid and adding a little water to the pan can help with this step). Cover each pile with a browned roll, and slide a spatula under the meat to pick it up with the roll.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK

Steps:

• Place steak in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes; this makes it easier to slice the meat. Remove the meat from the freezer and slice very thinly.
• Heat griddle or grill pan over high heat. Brush steak slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds per side.
• Place several slices of the meat on the bottom half of the roll, spoon some of the cheese sauce over the meat, and top with the mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• Heat the oil in medium saute pan over high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK GARBAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and then add the beef to the skillet and cook, turning as needed, until browned all over and cooked to medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the beef to paper towels to drain, wipe the skillet clean with paper towels and return the skillet to medium heat.
• Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the skillet, then add the mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and peppers, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until lightly charred and soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and let cool.
• Meanwhile, place the cooled beef in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up. Working quickly, very thinly cut the beef into the thinnest possible slices. (Slices should be almost as thin as deli meat.)
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 20-by-14-inch rectangle. Starting on the shorter end of the dough, arrange the beef slices evenly over half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the sides. Sprinkle both cheeses over the meat, then scatter the cooked vegetables evenly over the cheese. Working from that short side, tightly roll the dough up, jelly roll-style, into a log. Pinch the open seams together to seal, then tuck them underneath the log.
• Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake until the bread is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Halve the bread lengthwise, cut each half crosswise into 4 equal pieces and serve warm.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH (((AUTHENTIC)))

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
• Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
• Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
• Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
• Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
• Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
• If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
• Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
• When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.

CHEESESTEAK STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Grease a skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Break up sandwich steaks by hand and add to the skillet; cook and stir until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Unroll pizza dough onto a flat work surface; stretch into a 12-inch square. Spread a thin layer of beef mixture on one end, leaving a 1-inch border on the sides. Tear 4 slices of American cheese in half and lay on top. Roll up the dough, pinching the sides together. Repeat layering and rolling until all the beef mixture and cheese is used up.
• Seal the top of the roll; transfer to an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into 1-inch slices.

PHILLY STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the beef in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram and basil. Sprinkle over beef.
• Heat half of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute beef to desired doneness, and remove from pan. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet, and saute the onion and green pepper.
• Preheat oven on broiler setting.
• Divide the meat between the bottoms of 4 rolls, layer with onion and green pepper, then top with sliced cheese. Place on cookie sheet, and broil until cheese is melted. Cover with tops of rolls, and serve.
