Since the delicious philly cheesesteak, which was by no means fancy... {but sure hit the spot} I crave philly cheesesteaks.
I've tried different recipes. I've tried different cooking methods. Different breads. Different meats, you understand the process. Now I'm sharing my favorite way to make these philly cheesesteak sandwiches.
How to make Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Besides sliced pepper, onions you'll need rare roast beef from the deli and cream cheese. You can find the roast beef from the deli counter, and I like to ask specifically for the rare slices. Different brands will be more rare than others, so your best bet is to go to a deli with a good selection.
Slice the onions and peppers until they're tender and melt the cream cheese with them. Add meat.
I like to butter and toast my buns just a bit under the broiler.
Add the meat and peppers and top with cheese. Pop under the broiler and melt all that goodness.
I love cooking everything in my staub, these mini-buns were right by the deli and were perfect for my family. They had a delicious sweetness to them too. If you don't have a cast iron skillet you can still make these in any pan, and transfer to a sheet cake pan or jelly roll pan.
