I had an annoying habit of craving a Philly Cheese Steak for the first 7 months I was married. Every time Kirk asked me what I wanted to eat I would suddenly want a Philly Cheese Steak. I think it was because I'd watch The Food Network and it seemed like they were always making them on there. Finally, we went to the ghetto (not the ghetto down the street but the one in Rancho) and got our fix. It was a little Korean family that owned the hole in the wall restaurant and when the 15 year old boy made our sandwiches, I decided I could do it, too!
Last week I made the glorious sandwiches and it was simple!
:Ingredients:
1 tbls Vegetable Oil
1 lb Round Steak (have the butcher shred this for you)
1 Onion chopped
1 Green bell pepper chopped
4 Slices Provolone cheese
4 Hoagie rolls/ sandwich rolls
:Directions:
*If you didn't get your steak shredded, you can cut it into 1 inch strips and place in the freezer for about an hour. Don't let it freeze the whole way through. Shave the steak as thin as possible with a knife (or apparently you can do it with a certain attachment on a food processor).
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Cook the onions and peppers until translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the meat and cook until no longer pink.
3. Lay the slices of cheese over the top of the cooked meat and veggies. When the cheese is melted, fold it in!
4. Toast the rolls in the oven (I broiled them for a minute). Add the meant, cheese and veggies to the roll. If you like hot sauce or jalapenos, go ahead and add them!
Enjoy!

"You make these almost as good as that little Korean boy!"

Make me one. I'll let you quote me.
What exactly is the 1st ingredient: 1 tbls vegetables?
Also, you don't have to go to the ghetto for one of these delights. There's a little place called Steak Escape in all the local malls, however if you prefer a ghetto experience, just hit up the Arden Fair food court. It's closer than Rancho Cordova.
Also, I'd like you to try these next, then drop a big plate of them off at my house:

I don't do coconut. But maybe I'll try it!
Carrie!! I just checked out your food blog and I love it! What a great idea. It made me feel slightly inadequate....but in a good way...an inspirational way! Anyway, I'm going to try out some of your recipes...I'll let you know how it goes.
