Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches Rachael Ray Recipes

THE CUSIMANO SPECIAL ('DA CUZ, FOR SHORT)

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• Line a pan with foil and preheat broiler to high. Arrange peppers on foil-lined baking tray and broil to blister the peppers and char evenly all over, 15 to 20 minutes, turning once.
• When they are charred evenly and tender, place the peppers in a bowl and cover to cool peppers.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. When it foams add onions and stir, cook 10 minutes. Smash garlic and add it to the onions. Add about 1/2 cup water and cook 10 to 15 minutes more to light golden and very sweet.
• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Heat a sauce pot over medium to medium-high heat. Melt 4 tablespoons butter and when it foams whisk flour into butter and slowly add the milk. Let sauce come to a bubble and whisk to thicken until sauce can coat a spoon. Stir in cheese to melt, turn off heat and cover.
• Place the oil near skillet and a large, thin meat spatula or sturdy tongs. Pat meat dry and ruffle the slices up to loosen them. Combine the salt, pepper and granulated garlic in a small dish then sprinkle over meat. Cook half the meat at a time by squirting oil on to skillet to lightly coat it then cook meat until brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Pile cooked meat on platter. Add bone broth to skillet, let the drippings bubble up and reduce heat to simmer.
• Peel the roasted peppers and seed them. For warm rolls, place in oven once the peppers are removed.
• To assemble: Line a roll with a few spoonfuls of soft onions. Dip the beef into broth or stock and fill rolls. Top with roasted peppers, cheese sauce, cherry peppers and giardiniera.

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add onions and season with salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until onions are soft and caramel in color.
• Heat a heavy griddle pan over medium high to high heat. Wipe griddle with a drizzle of oil using a paper towel. Sear and cook thin sliced steaks until brown but not crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Cook steaks in single layers in 2 batches and tenderize by cutting into meat with the side of your spatula while they cook. When the steaks are browned, just before you remove them from heat, sprinkle them with garlic salt and pepper. When all of the steaks are cooked, line each of your split rolls with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Pile 1/4 of your meat and onions on to the griddle and mix together with your spatula. Pile the meat and onions into rolls on top of the cheese. The heat from the meat and onions will melt the cheese. Repeat for remaining servings and serve.
