Philly Cheesesteak With Gouda Food

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.

THIS ISN'T A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• 1. Ingredients
• 2. Directions - Asiago & Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce The first thing we want to do is get the sauce going. To make this sauce you will need a double boiler. If you do not have one, then use a stainless steel bowl set snugly inside a saucepan filled with water.
• 3. The key to this sauce is low and slow over a gentle heat. This will achieve a creamy cheese sauce. You will also need a wooden spoon and whisk. This sauce should take about 8 -10 minutes to complete. But it requires your undivided attention. Stay with this step until sauce is complete.
• 4. Pour water half full in double boiler and place over a medium heat. Melt butter in the top of the boiler. Once butter is melted add flour to make a roux, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 2 minutes or until blended well. Then add heavy cream and continue to stir constantly. Add Asiago and Smoked Gouda to cream mixture, use whisk to blend cheese well. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk until nice and smooth, then add beaten egg to mixture. Whisk until the sauce is warm and begins to thicken, then add Italian seasoning, horseradish sauce, and nutmeg. Continue to whisking constantly, then salt and pepper to taste. When cheese sauce is thick, reduce the heat low to keep it warm while preparing steaks.
• 5. Directions - Philly Steak In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add pancetta, green peppers, red peppers, and onions, sauté until slightly softened, about 2 -3 minutes, then add mushrooms to the mixture sauté until mushrooms are tender. Season veggies lightly with salt and pepper. Then transfer mixture to bowl cover and keep warm.
• 6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to skillet and be sure pan is hot so rib-eye steak will cook fast. Sauté steak, cooking each slice about ½ minute on each side, but do not overcook. Remove steak and place on a plate, season lightly with salt & pepper.
• 7. Let's make this sandwich, with tongs, place 2 slices of steak on ciabatta roll and top with veggie mixture. Then spoon some of the cheese sauce over the steak and veggies, cover with top roll and serve the best cheesesteak sandwich ever.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Heat a griddle, iron skillet or a non stick pan over medium heat. Add 3 Tablespoons of oil to the pan & sauté the onions to desired doneness.
• Remove the vegetables and add the remaining oil and sauté slices of meat quickly on both sides, The slices will quickly brown, scramble into smaller pieces with a flat spatula.
• Melt the Cheez Whiz in a pot or in the microwave.
• Place 6 oz. of the meat into the rolls and push the meat on one side of the roll and deposit the toppings next to it.
• Use a butter knife or chopstick to smear the whiz next to the meat.
• This is important because if you put the toppings ON the meat, they will not be in the bottom of the sandwich. You should get meat, toppings and cheese in every bite.
• Pizza Steak Variation - instead of using cheese whiz, top with pizza sauce & sliced or crumbled mozzarella. Place briefly under a broiler to melt & lightly brown the cheese.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK (THE WAY I REMEMBER IT)

Steps:

• Large dice the onions and set them aside earlier in the day; covered with a paper towel.
• Pour the peanut oil into a large hot stainless steel fry pan. Quickly saute the onions tossing them often until they become slightly translucent and tinged with brown. Remove and set aside.
• In the same hot pan add some of the meat (not all; it will sweat and release too much liquid) and roughly tear apart with two forks. When nicely browned remove and keep warm. Continue to do all the meat.
• Slice the hoagie buns (make sure they are really fresh. To get them sllightly crispy leave them early in the day uncovered) and place 1/3 of the meat in each. Top evenly with the cheese. Distribute the cooked onions and place in 300 degree oven on a baking pan until cheese is melted.
• You have the options of using either ketchup or a marinara sauce.

A REAL PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• MEAT: Make friends with your butcher. You need him to partially freeze a hunk of Rib Eye, and then slice it very thin. You want it sliced thin even though common sense tells us that thick is better. You can buy the hunk of rib eye and freeze and slice it yourself, but the butcher generally does a better job than I do. I can only get it about 1/8" thick and he does about.
• BREAD: This is the hard part. If you aren't in the tristate area, and can't get AMOROSOS rolls (the only thing that is REALLY good on a cheesesteak) then you have to find a substitute. Squishy sub rolls will NOT do. They do not hold together under pressure. Refrain from buying those "hero" rolls too. A good hoagie roll is almost rubbery in texture, but quite soft. The best substitute I have found is a loaf of French bread. Not as good as the real thing, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.
• Toppings: All of this is personal choice. I like fried onions and mushrooms myself.
• Cheeses used vary - I hate to admit it but I think cheese whiz tastes the best. Provolone is awesome too and thats what I would use if I was afraid of the plastic orange stuff called whiz.
• Cooking the steak: In a cast iron frying pan, or a grill pan heat some oil. Saute toppings until pliable - make them however you like them. Remove them from pan and set aside.
• Pour some more oil in the pan (I use olive oil, but if you have access to the stuff they use in restaurants on grills it would taste even better) on medium high heat. Place 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound of meat in the pan, lying the pieces flat and overlapping to form a shape that will fit nicely in a bun.
• When the meat turns grey with doneness, flip it over and if you are using cheese slices now is the time to lie them on top of the meat. Add the other toppings back into the pan next to the meat and allow to reheat. Cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt. This should take 1-2 minutes. If the meat looks overcooked, thats ok - i t should be GRAY.
• This is the time to toast the bread if you so wish. I don't like mine toasted at all. Warmed is ok.
• If you are using cheese whiz, warm it in the microwave. Pick up meat and melted cheese with a spatula and deposit on the roll. IF using cheese whiz, use a butter knife or chopstick to smear whiz next to the meat.
• Push the meat on one side of the roll and deposit the toppings next to it. This is important because if you put the toppings ON the meat, they will not be in the bottom of the sandwich, which really sux.
• You should get meat, toppings and cheese in every bite.
