Philly Cheesesteak Guide: to Authentic Philly Cheesesteaks
A cheesesteak is a long, crusty roll filled with thinly sliced sautéed ribeye beef and melted cheese. Generally, the cheese of choice is Cheez Whiz, but American and provolone are common substitutions. The art of cheesesteak preparation lies in the balance of flavors, textures, and what is often referred to as the “drip” factor. Other toppings may include fried onions, sautéed mushrooms, ketchup, and hot or sweet peppers.
