Ingredients
- 1 Pound Shaved Ribeye
- Graza Frizzle High Heat Cooking Oil
- 1 Yellow Onion, Shaved Thin
- 1/2C Green Peppers, Sliced Thin
- ½ C White Mushrooms, Sliced Thin
- 2 Soft Hoagie Rolls
- 8 Slices White American Cheese
- 8 Slices Provolone Cheese
- Blackstone Cheesesteak Seasoning
Methods
- Heat griddle to medium high heat. Allow 10-15 minutes, or until the surface darkens and light smoke appears
- Add a thin layer of Graza Frizzle High Heat oil, then lay down your shaved ribeye. Season generously with cheesesteak seasoning and use spatulas to chop the meat up and mix in the seasoning.
- After 3-4 minutes or when the meat is mostly cooked divide it into two piles.
- Next add the desired vegetables to each pile for a custom cheesesteak. Continue to chop up the meat and mix in the vegetables.
- After 2-3 minutes or when the meat is starting to develop crispy edges and the vegetables get soft, add sliced American cheese and chop it into the meat mixture.
- Then rearrange your 2 mixtures into 2 bun length piles and lay down the provolone slices on top.
- Top each pile with an open hoagie roll and use a dome to steam and melt the cheese.
- After 1 minute or when cheese is melted, use the spatula to pick up the entire sandwich inverting it onto the bun.
- Sprinkle some more “post dust” Blackstone Cheesesteak seasoning on before serving.
