Philly Cheesesteaks With Garlic Cream Cheese Sauce

October 18, 2016 by Tonja 3 Comments

Philadelphia’s beloved cheesesteak is iconic and a cultural obsession.  Most argue the cheesesteak is rarely duplicated successfully outside of Philadelphia.  What they do agree on is that the cheesesteak consists of a crusty hoagie roll filled with thinly sliced sautéed beef and melted cheese.

I am not a cheesesteak aficionado but I did create a darn good version here.  This starts with sautéed tri-color of bell peppers, onions and mushrooms.  Add to that thinly sliced marinated sirlion laid out on a hoagie bun with melted provolone cheese, broiled to perfection and slathered with a garlic cream cheese sauce.  Oh yah—this sounds A LOT like game day food to me.

Tip:  Freeze sirloin for 30-45 minutes before slicing.  It’s much easier to get thin slices this way.
