There are a lot of different ways to make steak sandwiches but Philly Cheese steak sandwiches are among my personal favorites. I am not sure how authentic this recipe is but as far as I know a Philly cheese steak is a sandwich with sliced steak topped with cheese. This recipe also adds vegetables such as green pepper, onions and mushrooms. Feel free to leave out any of the vegetables if you choose. For the cheese, I guess Cheese Whiz is commonly used for these sandwiches but you can use sliced provolone or sliced American as well. You want the steak to be cut as thinly as possible, try putting the steak in the freezer for about an hour prior to cutting. This will make the steak firmer and give you the ability to get thinner slices. Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches are perfect for football season. Enjoy.
