1 onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound shaved beef
Hot sauce, to taste
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
4 hoagie or hero rolls, split
Sliced cherry peppers and
American cheese, for topping
Directions
- Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over
medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden,
about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove the onion
to a plate. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring, until just
starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add a few dashes each of
hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and toss to coat. - Pile the beef and onion onto the rolls and top with cherry peppers
and cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil (open-face) until the
cheese melts.
For Philadelphians, there’s no hotter debate than who
serves the best cheesesteak: Pat’s King of Steaks or
Geno’s Steaks. By most accounts, Pat Olivieri invented
the sandwich of thinly sliced beef and onions in the
1930s; the cheese came along a decade later. Geno’s
opened a few feet from Pat’s in 1966 with an almost
identical menu, and the rivalry began. Today, Pat’s
sandwiches have chopped steak; Geno’s have sliced.
