As I've gotten older and cook more and more, I have truly realized the only thing that separates an average person from making as good or better than restaurant food is time and with certain recipes, some special equipment. Luckily, I have both 😅. Got a baking steel at the end of last year and have been making amazing NY style pizza and decided to try my hand at some overnight seeded rolls following Charlie Andersons "Ultimate Cheeseteak Roll" video. They came out AMAZING and my apartment smelled so good.
So for the sandwich, in a pot I caramelized about four medium yellow onions in a stick of butter until sweet but keeping some texture. I had a thick bone in ribeye in my freezer I needed to use so I used my deli slicer to slice it thin and seared and chopped on a griddle until done, added the onions, hot cherry peppers and a mix of Boars Head white American and sharp white cheddar. Gave the rolls a side cut, stuffed the meat in, wrapped in foil and devoured. Store bought rolls (even Amarasso) are ruined for me now. Best steak I've made, could barely finish one.

Looks dope
That roll to meat ratio…. Perfection!
Insanely good looking and stuffed to the brim!
These look fantastic but if I may make one suggestion: ditch the white cheddar and use COOPER SHARP! It’s the ultimate (and only) choice for a cheesesteak in my humble opinion! Great job chef 🫡
The bread really does make the cheese steak.
Nice colour on the steak too, 10/10 from me!
Looks superb!
Baking your own bread makes such a difference. I’ve had great luck with baking my own banh mi kongh and Cuban rolls.
What seasoning do you like for the veggies?
Yeah ya did
the roll is literally *the* cheat code for a good cheesesteak and nobody talks about it enough, good bread fixes everything wrong with a mediocre filling but bad bread ruins a perfect one.
Yo! From my spot in the philly suburbs…that looks great!
Nice work! I’ve also recently been baking Charlie’s cheesesteak rolls and they’re amazing.
Very nicely done!
When I was 10 my mom went on a trip with her sister and my gma, so I was just with my dad and my baby brothers. He got us tickets to see the Detroit Pistons play the Indiana Pacers and the game was around dinner time. He took us around the entire concourse and found the cheesesteak stand, he didnt ask us what we wanted (because I think he knew we would love it) and just ordered 1 cheesesteak for each of us. He took mine because I’m the oldest and he added ranch dressing on top. We ate those steaks and watched basketball and that became my favorite food on planet earth that day.
Just a fun story about food and family
Looks bomb! What cut of meat do you use and do you marinade it at all?
This is how I want my Philly to look every time I order it. Well done my friend, well done indeed.
Holy moly those look fucking delicious!!
You’re right that a lack of equipment is why excellent cooking is so prohibitive. At this point, I would have to invest almost a grand in equipment if I want to bake.
That looks so good. Deliciously bomb
That is a $20 sandwich anywhere. Well done. Looks amazing.
Jesus Christ those look incredible!
That looks divine.
