Really. I mean, all those Greeks from Sicily thinking they're Italian...
"Cheesesteak - The Mongo Way"
This is my official entry into "Cheesesteak - The Philly Way" but it's more like "Cheesesteak - The Mongo Way"... :heh:
Now I've had Cheesesteak twice in Philly, and I get it's all about the bread. Since it's next to impossible to get authentic bread if you don't live there, I figured I'd make my own. It's probably the only chance I have at not scoring a zero. :shocked: I started searching the internets until I found a recipe I thought looked authentic enough. It's a pretty basic bread recipe with the addition of heavy gluten flour (sorry Kathy)...:tsk:
I prefer my cheesesteak wit peppers, onion, shrooms...
and ribeye steak.
Back to making the bread. Water, bugs (yeast), oil, sugar and salt.
Mixed the dry into the wet in the Kitchenaid, formed into a ball and proofed.
After a short rise, divided up into thirds and set to proof again.
After a quick proof, time to roll them out to loaf shapes.
While they were rising, time to cut up the veg matter.
While all this was going on, I had put the steak in the freezer for about an hour to firm up to slice. Much easier this way, but this is where it turns into a Mongo sammie.
While the slicing was going on, the loaves turned into blonde nuclear attack submarines. :twitch:
And split seconds later thanks to the magic of the internets, they are done. :becky:
Now that the bread it done and resting peacefully, back to the construction project. Sweet onions and garlic.
Toss in the shrooms.
And a chit load of sweet bell peppers just for Buccs. :tongue:
While all this was cooking up nicely, I threw the garlic/salted/peppered ribeye on the portable CI flat top.
Can't forget the provolone.
And on to the finished Mongo (literally) Cheesesteak Sammich. :biggrin1:
Try as I might, I could only eat half of this giant behemoth... :hand: Here's what I'll have for tomorrow's lunch.
Not sure what pic to use as the money shot but I'm thinking the one above. I'm open to suggestions. I must say that while I'm not sure if the bread was authentic, it was farkin' good. It held up like it should have under the weight of the beef, cheese, pepper, onions and shroom plus it tasted fantastic. If anyone wants the recipe, just shoot me a PM. If I had anything to do over, I would have sliced the beef "wafer" thin but besides that if I really enjoyed my Mongo Cheesesteak.
Thanks for looking. :becky:
BTW, I'm sick of proof reading this for mistakes so please cut me some slack if I hosed anything up.

Very nice! Did you put anything else on besides the veggies and cheese? Mayo, ketchup??
Negative... Plenty of juice from the steak, peppers, onions, shrooms and olive oil they were cooked with. :thumb:

Tried to stop by your house to pick up the two pound block but no one answered the door... When I peeked in the window, I could see e and the girls hiding behind the couch. :tsk:
Those weren't sourdough rolls...:hand:
Ain't ribeye? Do you mean you don't use one for authentic cheesesteak or that wasn't a ribeye? That was definitely a ribeye cut from the small end and ribeye is definitely authentic to the sammie...:boxing: :becky:
