    I normally avoid videos like this, but I’m glad I watched. My family had a cheesesteak shop in south Philly for 30 years. You fricken nailed it bro, the beef tallow to add that flavor from the grill people would miss otherwise is genius. You grabbed all the right tools, used the right bread. Prepared it all exactly how I seen it done all my life. I’ve seen people try to make their version of a “philly” and I cringe, but you nailed the process. Hats off you you sir great research and results.👍🏼

  • @deveus1
    @deveus1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +107

    Tip: If you have a local butcher, talk to them a day or two before you want to make a cheesesteak and they might be willing to do the slicing for you. I've done this a few times with a few different butchers, they were always willing to use their professional-grade meat slicer to thinly slice some ribeye for me. No mandolin needed and no personal risk. (consider tossing them a tip)
    You want to give them at least 24 hours notice so that they can pick a convenient time to slice the meat. Cleaning a slicer is a pain in the ass, so they'll want to pick a time when it's not going to make a bunch of extra work for them (beyond slicing the meat).

    • @jackm6340
      @jackm6340 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      100p. This is the way. No hassle, better quality, and it’s typically no more expensive. The extra time is needed to freeze the ribeye to slice it super thin.

    • @dmoore0079
      @dmoore0079 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I worked in the meat department of a Kroger store, and did this quite a bit for customers. The firmness of the beef will definitely dictate how thin it can be sliced. On average, I was able to get somewhere around 1/16" thick before it would just come out like a crumbly mess (probably a non-issue for cheesesteaks). We rarely had anyone request in advance, so just bringing a roast or a steak from the meat case and asking for it to be sliced was pretty common. The only time it was a pain was when someone would bring something up just before closing, and we had already cleaned all the equipment for the night. If you bring something up before 7pm, you should be fine.

    So it makes me happy to see comments from those from Philly, who are used to iconic cheese steaks, showing this man some love and appreciation.

      Just as someone keeping it real the guy who replied to you is mostly correct a lot of true American food is processed and unhealthy. Yes American does have some foods and recipes that were started here in America and are iconic but the true reason why there’s some much food diversity is because America is a melting pot of so many different people and cultures which are bringing over their traditions and recipes from their country so most of it isn’t even American…the true credit belongs to the original culture even if America has made its own versions of said food or recipes.

    You've made the best cheesesteaks ever. I love that you make the version that YOU like as well ( hopefully inspiring people to learn cooking skills AND know to lean towards their own taste preferences and experiences) . The cheesesteak is such a touchy subject for me . Over the decades , I've seen sub shops go from chopping meat to achieve what you have done here , to unfortunately,taking meat ( fresh and frozen) and chop it for the purpose of quick cooking, but , they chopped WAY too much and the meat had been devolved into tiny shreds of nothingness. In a typical get em in and get em out sub shop, they're NOT seasoning properly as they go ( at best they'll salt and pepper after) slap cheese on top flip and now you have a mainly flavorless disintegrated waste of a sandwich. I hope some sandwich shops watch this video so they can remember what they're actually attempting to achieve. Needless to say , I stopped going to subshops to buy cheesesteaks years ago, but I have been known to buy " Hate less cook more " Hoodies online. I only buy what I believe in . Kudos. "Happy cooking". ( quoted from my other favorite chef)

    You did everything perfectly. One thing I like to do at home to replicate that restaurant sandwich feel is I do not toast the roll. I simply add the meat to the untoasted bun and then wrap it in tin foil for 3-5 minutes, this allows the bun to steam from the heat of the steak and it also helps press everything together so the sandwich doesn't fall apart. If you're super impatient toasting the bun is good too tho

    These look great! Other nice add-ons are portobello mushrooms and green bellpeppers. The one with the broccolini reminds me of an almost vegetarian version that my friend and I used to make, which did replace the steak with the portobello. From there, I built up to include both steak and mushrooms cause some friends wanted to include both. I like the sandwiches either way, myself, but I now have to put them in a tortilla as a wrap for me because I have an allergy to yeast (which sucks when you really want bread and a sandwich!). Thank you for giving me more inspiration!

      thank you! people are so weird when it comes to adding mushrooms or anything other than fried (grilled) onions to a authentic cheesesteak down in Philly. a really good steak can usually hold its own with just 4 simple ingredients over here: fresh roll, either american or provolone (I'm a wiz guy so I'm biased there), flavorful meat and fried onions. personally, I add mushrooms and either bacon or pepperoni because I like to customize my way (and bacon makes everything better)

      I make a nearly identical cheese sauce for my Mac and cheese all the time, and it's fantastic. You can also use whatever cheese you want plus like a tsp of sodium citrate - which is an emulsifier that American/velveeta/kraft singles are full of. It'll make whatever cheese very melty, much better than a roux based sauce. Even hard cheeses can be made saucy, but they tend to end up really salty.

    I disagree calling the second one NY style, rabe and garlic with provolone is a South Philly staple usually with roast pork but totally appropriate on a dressed up cheesesteak.
    That nitpick aside this is a solid guide. Your level of chop is pretty standard but there are plenty of places that leave the beef in longer strips or some places that hack it into a very fine mince. Points for toasting the roll whole and leaving the crumb soft.
    One thing to keep in mind, if you’re wrapping it up to let all the ingredients mingle for a bit all that extra cheese on top gets lost bonded to the paper and not the meat. Put the cheese down on the roll before adding the meat.

    Without a large pan, you can use a baking tray. Especially if you can take the handle from a pan which you're throwing away or retiring from cooking duty, and add that handle maybe with some screws to the baking tray, to control the tray. Also, if you want a grill-and-griddle for camping, you can use a metal-cutting circular saw to cut parallel lines in half or a third of the baking tray (making sure to not leave sharp edges, for safety), use a hammer to slightly bend the griddle's end near the holes to hold 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch (1 to 3 mm) of liquid (usually cooking oil), and if you're camping, you can use it upside-down over the coals, if you drill 6-20 holes on the sides/walls of the baking tray to have some airflow, but not too much. If you only need it for grilling, you can even use a pan baking tray which you planned to throw away, after using napkins or paper towels soaked in vinegar or store-bought lemon-juice (which has less smell but is more expensive), letting it rest for 1-2 hours (dripping more vinegar or lemon juice if the paper dries), then using a metal sponge to scratch away all the rust, rinsing it, then washing it with a normal sponge and detergent, then coating it with cheap and even used cooking oil and heating the pan enough for the oil to turn into a glaze (past the smoking point of the oil), until you get 2-3 layers of glaze to protect the metal. If you don't want to cut the metal, you can use a chisel and some metal pieces on the other side to get the baking tray to have waves like a grill pan. You can also use a small branch on a single metal cupcake form to smoke what you're cooking, by splitting the tiny branch, setting it on fire, placing it in the metal cupcake form and placing that inside either the baking tray which you cover with aluminium foil (tinfoil) to hold the smoke, or inside a normal pan, while having the pan or baking tray on high heat to help the branches make more smoke. It's preferable to first dry those tiny branches before using them, like by dry-frying them in the pan or baking tray before lighting the fire, so they get bone-dry. Once bone-dry, you can also add some cooking oil to the branches, to help them burn without stopping.

    If your bread is a bit dry, you can always wetten its crust by holding it under the running tap for a couple seconds before toasting it in the oven. The crust will be as if it was freshly baked.
    Be very quick, maybe 2-3 seconds under the tap. It needs to have a hard-ish and intact crust so the crust protects the soft bread from getting soaked (for instance I'd avoid wetting a brioche bun). While I would accept holding a halved sub under the tap (upright with the cut always at the bottom), a whole bread/sub is the better option if you have a choice.

    You should look into sodium citrate for making creamy cheeze products that are 100% customizable. I actually used Gavin Webber's recipe for sodium citrate made with citric acid and baking soda. There are way more applications for citric acid than just plain sodium citrate.
    I made a cheeze sauce that would be perfect for this. Two bottles of Blue Moon beer, 750g of sharp cheddar, parm and Oaxaca cheeses. 36g of the sodium citrate in the beer right before it starts to simmer and right before you add the cheese. I also diced and sautéed three poblano peppers. They aren't spicy, but they add a great flavor.
