</a><p>Two iconic Philadelphia restaurants - Pat's King of Steaks</a> and Geno's Steaks</a> - vie for the unofficial title of best Philly cheesesteak. While both serve up superb sandwiches, avid fans will tell you that they differ in a few crucial ways. Watch the video to learn how to make sandwiches inspired by both (and for a crash course in Philly-cheesesteak history), and then conduct your own taste test between the two.<br><br /><br /> Philly Cheesesteak, 2 Ways<br />From POPSUGAR Food</p><br /> Ingredients<br /><ol><li>1 pound rib-eye steak<br><br />Vegetable oil<br><br />1 large white onion, thinly sliced<br><br />Salt<br><br />Pepper<br><br />Seasoning salt<br><br />1 crusty Italian roll<br><br />1 soft hoagie roll<br><br />2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature<br><br />4 tablespoons Cheez Whiz<br><br />2 slices provolone cheese<br><br />Thinly sliced bell peppers, sautéed (optional) </li></ol><br /> Directions<br /><br /><ol><br /><li>Freeze the steak until firm, at least 8 hours. This will make it easier to slice thinly. Once firm, slice it as thinly as you can.</li><br /><li>Heat a pan over medium-high heat; once it's hot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add onions, and sauté them until they start to become translucent and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.</li><br /><li>Next, brush the steak with oil, and season it generously with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt. Add meat to the onions, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring once. Separate the meat and-onion mixture into 2 distinct piles. For the Pat's-style cheesesteak, chop up the meat with a metal spatula.</li><br /><li>While the meat is cooking, slice the rolls in half lengthwise, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the insides of each roll, and toast them with a little butter in a separate pan. (The crusty roll is for the Pat's-style cheesesteak, and the softer roll is for the Geno's-style cheesesteak.)</li><br /><li>Add your cheeses to the meat-and-onion mixture. For the Pat's-style cheesesteak, use Cheez Whiz, and use provolone for the Geno's-style cheesesteak.</li><br /><li>Once cheese is melted, use a spatula to scoop the meat, onion, and cheese mixture onto the center of the bread. Top with sautéed peppers (if using). Serve hot.</li><br /></ol><br /> Information Category Main Dishes, Sandwiches Cuisine North American Yield 2 sandwiches <br /><br /></p>
