Marinated Philly Cheese Squares Recipes

BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk all the Marinade ingredients together in a Ziploc bag. Remove 1 tablespoon Marinade and add to a small bowl with 1/2 cup mayonnaise to make "Spiced Mayonnaise". Add hot sauce to mayonnaise if desired and store in the refrigerator.
• Add steak to Ziploc bag with remaining Marinade. Marinate 6 hours up to overnight. Remove steak from fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prepare hoagie rolls by slicing each in half horizontally. Hollow out bottom and top halves of bread, leaving about 1/2-inch-thick shell.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Pat excess marinade off steak and add to skillet. Cook undisturbed for 1 minute then continue to cook while stirring just until no longer pink, 1-2 minutes, chopping up meat with spatula as you cook. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. (You can also chop on a cutting board.)
• Wipe out skillet and heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add peppers and onion and cook 6-8 minutes or until softened. Add steak back to pan along with 3/4 cup cheddar, 1 tablespoon Spiced Mayonnaise, pimientos (optional). Stir just until steak is warmed through and cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread each top and bottom half of hoagie roll with Spiced mayonnaise. Evenly divide beef mixture between bottom buns then top each with 2 slices provolone cheese. Bake hoagies open faced for 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Replace top buns and eat immediately.

MARINATED CHEESE

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the olive oil, wine vinegar, pimento, parsley, green onion, garlic, sugar, basil, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously to blend. Set aside.
• Cut the block of Cheddar cheese in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices to form squares. Repeat with cream cheese. Arrange cheese squares alternately in a shallow baking dish with slices standing on edge. You can arrange in a single long row, or 2 parallel rows depending on the size of your dish. Pour the marinade from the jar over the cheese slices, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• To serve, remove slices to a serving platter so they are still arranged in an alternating pattern. Spoon some of the extra marinade over the cheese, and serve with crackers.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS WITH HOMEMADE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and pour over the skirt steak in a pan to marinate, up to 30 minutes.
• In a medium saucepot, bring the cream to a boil. Slowly whisk in the American cheese until a sauce is formed. Keep warm.
• Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
• Toss the onions and peppers in a bowl with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until lightly charred and tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and cook on the grill until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and butter the insides of the rolls. Grill until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Slice the steak thinly against the grain and fill the rolls. Top with copious amounts of cheese sauce, grilled vegetables and hot cherry peppers.

PHILLY STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the beef in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram and basil. Sprinkle over beef.
• Heat half of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute beef to desired doneness, and remove from pan. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet, and saute the onion and green pepper.
• Preheat oven on broiler setting.
• Divide the meat between the bottoms of 4 rolls, layer with onion and green pepper, then top with sliced cheese. Place on cookie sheet, and broil until cheese is melted. Cover with tops of rolls, and serve.

"PHILLY CHEESESTEAK"

Steps:

• Combine the mustard and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Add the garlic and drizzle in olive oil while stirring. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in 3/4 of the marinade and seal the bag. (Reserve the remaining marinade for the bread.) Let the steak marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Put the peppers and onions on the grill. Coat the onions with BBQ sauce. Once the peppers and onions are charred, move them to the top rack to keep them warm.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and put on the grill. After 5 minutes turn the steak over to sear the other side, about 12 minutes total cooking time, for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Cut the bread lengthwise and toast on the grill.
• Brush the remaining reserved marinade on both sides of the bread. Arrange the steak on the bottom half of the bread, then cover with the peppers and onions. Top with the cheese and cover with the other half of the bread. Cut into 4 pieces and serve.
