Philly Cheesesteaks
A really good philly cheesesteak recipe based on a Americas Test Kitchen recipe

Makes 4 sandwiches, or 2…
Ingredients
steak
2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed and sliced with grain into 3-inch-wide strips
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
8 slices white american cheese
smoked salt and pepper, to taste
vegetables
1 cup yellow onion, sliced
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup sweet peppers, sliced
rolls
4 hoagie rolls
garnish
Frank’s® Original Hot Sauce, drizzle
Directions
Place steak pieces on a large plate or baking sheet and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour.
Using a sharp knife, shave steak pieces as thinly as possible against grain. Mound meat on a cutting board and chop coarsely with a knife 10 to 20 times.
Preheat a steel plate on the grill and drizzle the peanut oil on the steel. Keep the burners on about medium heat. Add the meat in an even layer on half of the steel and cook without stirring until well browned on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes.
At the same time you add the skirt steak to half the cooking steel, on the other half add the vegetables. While turning the meat also mix and stir the vegetables. They will cook in the same amount of time as the skirt steak.
Salt and pepper the meat and vegetables. Heat, stirring constantly, until meat is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle with Parmesan, and shingle slices of American cheese over meat. At this time add the split hoagie buns to the grill grates to toast. Put the cover down over the grill and allow the cheeses to melt, about 2 minutes. Lift the lid of the grill and using a spatula, fold melted cheese into meat thoroughly.
Divide mixture evenly among toasted hoagie rolls. Top with grilled vegetables of choice. Drizzle with a little Frank’s Hot sauce to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- I use a flat steel plate on my grill to cook the skirt steak in one batch. You can use a cast iron skillet indoors, but will need to be done in a couple of batches.
