Philly Cheese Steak Las Vegas


A cheese steak is a lengthy, crusty roll filled up with very finely chopped up sauted rib-eye beef and melted cheese. Generally, the cheese of preference is Cheez Whiz, but American and provolone are standard substitutions. The art of cheese steak preparation is based on the harmony of flavors, textures and what is often referred to as the “drip” factor. Other toppings can include fried onions, sauted fresh mushrooms, ketchup and hot or sweet peppers.
Some sandwich stores also provide a cheese steak hoagie, a hybrid edition that combines the cheese steak with cold hoagie dressings like lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Cheese beef are fast, portable and easily available at steak stores, delis, food trucks, pizzerias and even some high-end dining places throughout the area.

The cheese is orange, yellow or white in shade and it is often square in shape. It is usually picked for making steak sandwiches since it melts easily. Last type of cheese commonly used is Cheddar cheese which is a hard cheese that is yellow or white in color. Cheddar cheese is made the world over, but it was initially made in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset.
Making a Philly cheese steak Las Vegas is not hard. The recipe is very simple. First, is to heat an iron frying pan or a non-stick pan over medium heat.
