Unmatched Flavor: Brazilian Philadelphia Cheesesteak

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Cutting the meat into very thin strips against the grain ensures quick cooking and immediate tenderness. - Caramelizing the onion with the bell pepper in the same skillet adds sweet notes that complement the meat. - The melted cheese over the meat still in the skillet forms a uniform mass that is easy to transfer to the bread.

Ingredients

Main Course

  • 500g of beef (lean content, such as eye of round or sirloin) cut into thin strips
  • 4 baguette-style or Italian bread loaves
  • 200g of cheddar or mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Main Course

1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2

Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and saute until soft.

3

Add the meat to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Cook the meat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is well cooked.

5

When the meat is ready, place the cheese slices on top and cover the skillet to melt it.

6

Meanwhile, toast the bread on the grill or in the oven to make it crispy.

Chef Tips

- Freeze the piece of meat for 30 minutes before slicing to achieve extremely thin slices with the knife. - Toast the baguette centers in the oven or skillet in advance to prevent them from softening with the meat juices. - Use the spatula itself to embrace the melted cheese on the meat and transfer in a continuous portion to the bread.

Variations

- Cheesesteak with mushrooms: add a cup of sliced cremini mushrooms to the sautéed onion and bell pepper. - Toque picante: add slices of pickled jalapeño pepper over the melted cheese before closing the bread. - Version with creamy cheese sauce: replace the sliced cheese with cheddar cheese cream melted with beer.

Substitutions

- The top sirloin can be replaced with rump steak, very thinly sliced chuck eye, flap steak, or tenderloin. - Sliced cheddar cheese can be replaced by mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated provolone, or prato cheese. - The French baguette can be swapped for traditional French bread, Italian-style loaf bread, or ciabatta bread.

How to Store

Consume the cheesesteak immediately after assembly while the meat is steaming and the cheese is melted. If there are leftovers, store the sautéed meat in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and assemble on fresh bread when heating.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the filling of sautéed meat with onions and bell peppers in airtight containers for up to 2 months without the cheese and bread. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours and reheat in a hot skillet, adding the cheese at the last minute.

What to Serve With

It pairs very well with crispy french fries, golden onion rings, or a green leaf salad with honey mustard dressing. To drink, pair with chilled soda, craft IPA beer, or natural whole grape juice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to slice the meat as thin as in the original sandwich?

Take the meat to the freezer for about half an hour to firm up the piece and use a very sharp chef's knife cutting against the grain.

What is the traditional cheese used in a Philly Cheesesteak?

In the United States, processed cheese (Cheez Whiz), provolone, or American cheese is used; mozzarella and cheddar work very well.

Should the meat be fried over high or low heat?

High heat to sear the thin strips quickly without releasing excess water, maintaining the internal moisture and juiciness of the meat.

Can I prepare this sandwich using regular French bread?

Yes, toasted Brazilian French bread with crusty exterior holds generous meat filling and melted cheese with perfection.
