Funzionalità Premium
The Philly Cheesesteak boasts a savory, umami-rich flavor profile with the beef, cheese, and onions creating a satisfying combination. The optional peppers add a touch of sweetness and slight heat.
The thinly sliced ribeye steak provides the main savory component, its rich flavor enhanced by the caramelization from grilling. The melted cheese, whether provolone, American, or cheese whiz, adds creaminess and sharpness. The onions, softened and slightly sweet from grilling, contribute a complementary flavor. The peppers, if added, introduce a subtle sweetness and vegetal note. The roll itself provides a neutral base, sometimes slightly crusty, to hold everything together.
Funzionalità Premium
Steak Quality
Use high-quality ribeye steak, thinly sliced. Partially freezing the steak before slicing makes it easier to achieve thin, uniform pieces.
Cheese Choice
Provolone offers a sharper, more pronounced flavor, while American provides a classic, melty texture. Cheese Whiz is a popular, albeit controversial, choice for its unique tang and gooeyness.
Onion Preparation
Finely chop the onions and cook them until softened and slightly caramelized for optimal flavor and texture.
Roll Selection
Choose a sturdy, slightly crusty roll that can withstand the juicy filling without falling apart. Amoroso's rolls are a popular choice in Philadelphia.
Chopping the Steak
While grilling, use a spatula to chop the steak into smaller pieces. This helps ensure even cooking and makes it easier to eat.
