Philadelphia Style Steak Recipe 55

PHILADELPHIA-STYLE STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• To cook the steaks, preheat the broiler.
• Brush both sides of each steak with the oil and season both sides with the salt. Rub one side of each steak with the spice rub and place the steaks, rub side up, on a broiler pan. Broil until the top of each steak is golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue broiling to medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick to pour easily, thin it with a little extra milk. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
• Ladle some of the cheese sauce onto 4 large dinner plates. Place the steaks on top of the sauce, top each steak with some of the caramelized onions, and drizzle with a few tablespoons of steak sauce if desired. Garnish with parsley.
• CARAMELIZED ONIONS
• Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes. The onions can be made in advance, covered, and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK

Steps:

• Slice the beef on an electric meat slicer, or use the following method: with plastic wrap, tightly roll the steak into a torpedo or log shape. Put the beef in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes to firm it until tight but not frozen. Remove the plastic wrap and, working quickly; use an electric knife to slice the beef into paper-thin slices, almost shaving the beef. If this does not produce very thin results, cut the beef into the thinnest slices possible and flatten, using a meat pounder. Once all the beef has been cut, refrigerate until the remaining ingredients are ready.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy-bottomed saute pan set over low heat. Put in the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until nicely softened and lightly caramelized but not browned, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside. Add the pepper halves to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and fry until soft and tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the onions. Keep the onions and peppers covered and warm.
• In a clean, heavy-bottomed saute pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the beef in batches and lightly brown, seasoning with salt and pepper as you cook, adding more oil if necessary.
• Pull out a little of the doughy insides of each loaf, then drizzle lightly with the oil, a splash of vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Put 1/4 of the beef inside each roll, top with onions and peppers, and finish with several slices of cheese. Cover with the top half of the bread. Wrap snugly in sandwich wrapping paper, slice diagonally in half, and serve.
