A Philly Steak & cheese sub my way until I get to Philly. Tender shaved ribeye steak, ooey gooey provolone, mozzarella cheese, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and banana peppers all snuggle up inside a toasted hoagie roll. Can I get an amen?
My first Philly cheese steak is what we use to call them, back in the day was at Vegas restaurant in my neighborhood. We would go there after we came from a house party about 9 or 10 o'clock at night. That cheese steak had a red sauce but it was so good, so big, and simply delicious. I wish I knew his recipe but I don't so here goes mine.
