Make me a sammich, bitches!

[Yerdaddy]

I got some good friends from Australia who own a restaurant here in Phnom Penh specializing in English food (and they do it well, even though it is English food) and they asked me today what makes a good Philly cheesesteak sammich. I'm really a west coaster so what the fuck do I know? But I knew you just where to ask.

So they've got a great Cambodian cook who can take some simple instructions and recreate some incredible food replicas, (she invented the best veggie burger I've ever had and I was a half-assed vegitarian for a year), so you guys give me your best Philly cheesesteak instructions I'll pass them along and get a good sammich on offer here in the asshole of the world. We may have to tinker with the ingredients as some things, like cheese, are expensive here as they aint local, but let's give it a go.

Make me a sammich, bitches!

steak
cheese

[RAAMONE]

you are gonna get 50 different recipes but when i make it its:

steak
prov
fried onions
tomato
mayo

edit: and i think phillys is steak, onions, and that shitty runny cheese

[JPMNICK]

high quality thinly sliced beef

do not use shitty minute steaks or anything, you need good steaks to make it not chewy and disgusting.

also i like Mozzarella instead of provolone

Is that the place where they played the AC/DC and classic rock?

sorry, but you are wrong:

In other parts of North America, many sandwich shops offer their own versions of the cheesesteak. However, according to Pennsylvania Governor and former Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell, cooks outside Philadelphia cannot produce an authentic Philly cheesesteak because, "first, they use good meat. You need the fattiest, stringiest meat to get a proper taste... The second mistake is, they use real cheese. Real cheese doesn't melt like Cheez Whiz... And third, when they fry their onions, they actually drain off the grease. You can't do that."

[JimmieHats]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Amoroso roll yet...

[TooLowBrow]

as i noted in the post above that one everyone in philly is of that mind-set.

[JPMNICK]

sorry, but you are wrong:

i do not care what those phiily idiots say. high quality steak for a good final product.

No!

Hell No!

Provolone is the way to go, but American will do as well.

Cheese whiz is what you get at those hack tourist places like Pat's & Geno's.

Make sure they chop the beef, not shaved, as many places will do. Chop it with the side of the spatula, over and over until it's a fine fried pile of beef, brown in color but not crispy. In the middle of chopping, throw on the cheese, chop it up with the beef.

Throw on the fired onions if you want.

Scoop it all up with Italian bread. I don't know what kind they have over there, but make sure it's not too large. You want the steak spilling out of the roll, so they after to eat it over the wrapper or plate to catch the extra beef.

Enjoy!


Oh man now I'm starvin'.

[Furtherman]

He's right! Don't listen to Rendell... he's got it ALL WRONG. I mean, c'mon, who wants cheap beef?

[JPMNICK]

it should be

BTW Pats cheese steak in Philly only used thinly sliced Rib Eye. a nice high quality meat. then they ruin it with the cheese wiz

[KingModem]

He's right! Don't listen to Rendell... he's got it ALL WRONG. I mean, c'mon, who wants cheap beef?

Thin-sliced Ribeye from the local butcher (or even pre-cooked prime if you are lucky enough to score some), coupled with green peppers, onions, and cheese whiz on a fresh baked hoagie bun from the local bakery.

Lucky for me, I have a butcher, bakery, and produce stand all within a block of me.

Holy shit, im hungry.

[Hottub]

I don't mind a lesser steak from time to time. The fat content adds some flavor. But to say you must use Wiz is insanity. A good white American, or even Swiss is delicious. Also, not draining the peppers and onions just makes for a grease sandwich, not a cheesesteak, Too overpowering. Let the dopes from philly say what they will.

I'm also a fan of the pizzasteak. A little marinara sauce and mozzarella. Delicious.

as weird as that sounds i can see that not being bad. This guy I used to work with would always get bagels with creamcheese and tomatoes on it, so I tried a piece one day and it was REALLY fuckin good.

The wife has always gotten Toasted Everything with Scallion Cream Cheese and Tomato ... I thought she was nuts until I tried it, it's pretty damn good.

We make our Cheesesteak pretty traditional. Thin sliced Rib Eye, chopped on the griddle, grilled pepper and onion, White American. I occasionally throw in some sauted Mushrooms.

[DiabloSammich]

I can't just make you a sammich.

Being a sammich is a state of mind.

[KingGeno]

Scallion Cream Cheese and Tomato ... I thought she was nuts until I tried it, it's pretty damn good.

Now that you added Scallions it does sound good. I may just give this cheesesteak a try.

Another excellent:

Chicken Steak
Sharp Provolone Cheese
Brocolli Rabe
Spinach
Roasted Red Peppers
S,P,O

[ChimneyFish]

From the Philly area, and anyone who tells you to use cheese whiz is a dope. I'll never understand these animal's obsession with cheese whiz.http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/luxa1/yuck.gif

For me it's simple.

Amoroso's roll
Decent cut of beef
American cheese(though provolone and mozzarella are exceptable)

[RAAMONE]

He's right! Don't listen to Rendell... he's got it ALL WRONG. I mean, c'mon, who wants cheap beef?

One of my favorite food people is Anthony Bourdain and his mantra is the 'nasty bits.' He says real cuisine is people who take the lesser parts of the animal and turn it into something delicious. I have seen him eating beef tounge tacos in mexico, an awesome looking bone marrow stew in Singapore, and stuff like that. Stuff that people in this country usually throw away or give to their dogs.

[KingGeno]

Too Much American Cheese melted

Only on sammiches and in sauce form. Otherwise, tomatoes can go fuck their muthas.

[EddieMoscone]

You almost sent me into cardiac arrest saying you liked steam-ums, but I agree with mayo. Steak, Provolone, May and onions. That's it and that's that.

I also prefer sliced beef to chopped. I like the texture more, plus being all chopped up like that makes me think you're hiding something.

Pat's, Geno's and Jim's all suck BTW. I have sung the praises of Tony Luke's here many times before, and will continue until I die (probably of a heart attack).

[KingGeno]

i meant geno didn't get your line. :)

No I got it.

[Freitag]

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, hit the spot more than Tony Luke's after an ECW show.

Ahhhhh, memories.

I've had "authentic" philly cheesesteaks, but one of the best I've ever had is Voltaco's in Ocean City, NJ. It's not only the quality of the sandwiches, but the bread. The bread is a big factor.

[KingGeno]

I've been working a block up from Tony Luke's all week, and have gotten free Tony Luke's and will get free Tony Luke's until Wednesday of next week.

Praise me.

[Hottub]

I hope your cardiologist is on speed-dial.

[red_red_red]

fuck me running, this thread is making me hungry! i lived in a suburb of philly for a few yrs and i would go to a place called Lansdale Pizza and i swear to god they put marinara sauce and bacon in their cheese steaks, it was so fucking good i make them @ home now, here's my recipe:
rib eye steaks, grilled and chopped
onions, diced
mozzarella and provolone cheese
marinara sauce
bacon sprinkled on top after you put the sammie together
lightly toasted hoagies

[joethebartender]

as weird as that sounds i can see that not being bad. This guy I used to work with would always get bagels with creamcheese and tomatoes on it, so I tried a piece one day and it was REALLY fuckin good.

A place I go to makes a cream cheese spread with sun-dried tomatoes mixed in it...very nice.
My "yelp.com" review of this place (http://www.yelp.com/biz/celebrity-bagels-and-restaurant-inc-tenafly#hrid:HhuFKnneJpZYLB58X9bAcQ/query:bagels)

As for the steaks...one thing that I know is that if you put ketchup on a Philly steak; Ronnie B. will come and gut you like a fish.
My favorite is one with provalone, mushrooms, and onions from Abner's across from Drexel University. (tip the grill guy a few dollars and you'll wind up with a football-sized sammich!)

[Furtherman]

Voltaco's in Ocean City, NJ.

Oooooohh that place has awesome food.

[EddieMoscone]

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, hit the spot more than Tony Luke's after an ECW show.

Ahhhhh, memories.

That was my introduction to Luke's as well. Needed it for that trip back to the city. I had some garvone friends who doubled down on cheesesteaks before AND after the shows (with mozzy and curly fries both times).

[GreatAmericanZero]

EWWWWWWWWWWWW

I'm watching this special on TLC called "I eat over 33,000 calories a day" and its about the people so fat that they can't leave their bed (or barely be able to walk). Anyone, this one fucking bitch, she eats sandwiches of "Ham, Mayo and Banana". That is easily the grossest food combination i ever heard in my life that someone would legitimately eat! Anyone else hear of this?
