Kathy loves Philly cheesesteak sandwiches so I decided that I would take a stab at making them at home. I bought a 3 pound eye of the round roast and had the meat cutter shave a pound and a half of it on the slicer and cut the rest into cubes for stew or soup.
I cut up a large onion, placed it in a bowl and microwaved it for 3 minutes to soften and precook a little bit. I wiped our electric griddle with some butter on a paper towel and put two 6-7 ounce portions of the shaved beef on the griddle. I added a couple of heaping spoons of the onion, sprinkled liberally with salt and fresh cracked black pepper and let it cook for a few minutes while chopping and stirring with the spatula until the meat was almost done. In the meanwhile I was lightly toasting hoagie rolls on a cast iron grill pan on the stove. The final act was to lay 3 slices of provolone on each of the portions of meat, cover for less than a minute to melt the cheese, and carefully scooped it all onto the toasted rolls. Some people like sweet peppers added but we like the sandwiches with just a nice amount of onion.
I gave mine a sprinkling of Worcestershire sauce. The process was rather messy but the sandwiches came out delicious. As good as what we buy at Jersey Mike's for $9 each. We had two sandwiches and enough left over ingredients for me to have a 3rd sandwich for lunch today for a grand total of $11 and change, and we have a pound and a half of stew meat to use at a later date.
