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. Some sandwich shops also offer a cheesesteak hoagie, a hybrid version that combines the cheesesteak with cold hoagie dressings like lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Cheesesteaks are fast, portable, and readily available at steak shops, delis, food trucks, pizzerias, and even some high-end restaurants throughout the region.
