Philly Cheese Steak
Steak- Yums!!!
Perfect meal when you just want to smash something!

I'm so proud of myself, I made my very own cheese steaks all by myself. Usually I go and buy the $8 box of Steak ems, but I saved a whole $3.00 making this from cube steak.  Yay! And its fresh meat instead of the overly processed (but very very delicious) alternative.  Yay!

This is a pretty good alternative to going out and buying a Philly Cheese Steak if you don't want to go out. However, there are some restaurants that make the most amazingly delicious cheese steaks that this home made version can't touch. This is really good though, and also a great recipe if you have any pent up aggression you want to take out with a mallet (see directions below.) Enjoy!

Philly Cheese Steak

2 Tbsp of Butter or Margarine
4 Medium Onions, chopped to desired size
4 Hero/Sub/Hoagie rolls (6 to 8 inches)
1 1/2 Lb Beef Cube Steaks
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper
1 Tbsp Oil
8 Slices of Swiss Cheese
Steak Sauce

1. In a medium skillet, melt butter and saute onions over med. heat until browned (about 10 minutes)


2.  Set Onions aside and keep warm.



3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice rolls lengthwise, wrap in foil and warm in oven.

4. Place Cube Steak between two sheet of wax paper and pound flat as possible with a rolling pin or mallet



5.  Season meat with salt and pepper.

6. Heat oil in skillet on high heat.  Saute steak until browned,  about one minute on each side



7. Place meat on warm toasted bun from oven, top with cheese and onions. Sprinkle with Pepper



8.  Top with steak sauce if desired.


 There you have it! Your very own homemade Philly Cheese Steak! I really always wondered what that strange looking cubed steak was in the meat department, now I know!  This was a lot of fun to make something from scratch with only the directions and the ingredients.  I really put a lot of blind faith into making this and it turned out just right! Hooray!

Have a great day everyone.

One Love,

Virginia
