NO B. S. Authentic PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS on the Blackstone Griddle

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • I hear you loud and clear when you shout at me in the comments about "That's not a Philly Cheesesteak!". Well, today I'm making an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, and I've got an actual real deal Pat's King of Steaks cheesesteak sandwich straight from Philadelphia to compare it to!
    I even bought a master case of the Amoroso Italian rolls to try and make my Blackstone cheesesteaks as authentic as possible. And I get it now... the rolls DO make a HUGE difference!
    All 3 of the Blackstone Philly Cheesesteaks that I made were fantastic - the Pat's King of Steaks cheese steak, my replica of that one, and my version with all 3 cheeses and my favorite all purpose seasoning. You can't go wrong with these griddle cheesesteaks!
    *Don't yell at me about not ordering the Whiz from Pat's... To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Cheez Whiz, and technically, provolone was the first cheese to be used on a Philly decades ago.

    Understandable to want to give an authentic Philly cheesesteak it’s due. There is so much more when it is made by your own hands. You have every reason to be proud of your cheesesteak vs the “real” thing.
    BRAVO!

    I was born and raised in Philly and I say to make a cheesesteak any way you like, and enjoy it. I will say that you did make traditional Philly cheesesteak that you would find in any neighborhood hoagie shop decades ago. Especially the one with American cheese. Whiz is for tourists LOL! Things change and It’s getting harder to find a good traditional cheesesteak anymore, even in Philly. Believe it or not, ketchup is the most common condiment for a traditional cheesesteak. Try a squirt of ketchup before eating it if you ever make a traditional one again. As you discovered the roll does make the sandwich. That roll is also the key to making a good hoagie if you want to give that a try. Keep making great videos.

  • @cb5528

    Neil, here's a recommendation for you that adds a snap to a cheesesteak. Many Pizzaria's in Philly and South Jersey use Sharp Provolone on their steaks. You may have trouble finding it in East Tennessee but if you can, give it a try. Go Bucs!!!

  • @shadowdog500
    @shadowdog500 13 дней назад

    Great cheesesteaks! The difference in the roll shape is because Pat’s uses Liscio's rolls from New Jersey. Amoroso’s and Liscio’s are both equally good hoagie rolls. The reason I think everyone says Amoroso’s is because they advertise all over the place in Philly.

  • @FlockyFlock17
    @FlockyFlock17 11 месяцев назад

    Since moving from South Jersey to Las Vegas almost 30 years ago, I've always found it difficult to find a good Philly cheesesteak. I finally found a place about 15 years ago and they use the Amoroso rolls. That is the key. Use whatever cheese you like, the roll makes it or breaks it. Now that I purchased a flat top, I'm going to try out my own Philly cheesesteaks, if my local place can sell me the rolls only.

    • @TheFlatTopKing

    Neal I went to a cheesesteak place once (not in Philly). They had one that was meat, onions, Provolone and Philly Cream cheese. It was called a "Philly Philly" and it is fantastic. If you see this comment and decide you want to try it be careful that effing cream cheese will Melt your face and it retains the heat for a long time.

      @The Flat Top King yes u are right. When we visited all the locals we talked to pretty much said those 2 places are just a tourist attraction and they don't go there. We had to try them just to say we did. I wasn't all that impressed honestly. Next time we go I do want to try the local favorites.

    Awesome video, I live in Philly, the key to making a Philly steak is shaved ribeye on a long, somewhat crusty sesame steak roll with Cooper sharp with long hots! That simple ! Tourists go to Genos and Pat's- its okay but there are so many places that do it better! It's like ordering from a Domino's in NY -technically it's a NY pizza because they are in NY but it's not really a NY pie

    Pat's was the originator of the Philly Cheese Steak but now is mostly a tourist destination. The current king of Cheese Steaks in Philly is Angelo's in south Philly. Look up Angelo's in youtube and study how the sandwich is made. Your cheese Steak may be tasty it's not a Philly Cheese Steak. The meat must be finelly chopped and well blended with cheese and fried onions. If you really want to kick it up add Longhot peppers or Banana peppers Cooper Sharp for cheese and a sesame seeded roll from South Philly.

    Love that you responded to comments and made it as authentic as you can. I was born in Philly and visit yearly. My family likes Jim's Steaks and go there when we visit. I liked the rough chop of the onions like Jim's and my go-to is the whiz-wit. That being said, your 3 cheese version looked amazing. I agree that the roll makes a huge difference. Whenever we make cheese steaks at home, we continue to try to find something that compares (and haven't found the answer yet).

    There are so many Griddle PHD's out there, sometimes it's hard to get through the smoke and really see the experts, you don't have that problem. Your versions are normally cranking the flavor and taste up from any baseline and one the average griddler can master very easily. You two keep doing what you are doing, unmatched.

    I live in Philly, ask any person who has the best cheesesteak and you will probably get a hundred different answers. Alost everyone makes them the same way. Yes the roll makes a difference and no self respecting sandwich shop put peppers on their steaks. Mushrooms in my opinion are okay. I like American cheese, fried onions on mine but to each his own. Great video keep up the good work.

    My son and I went to Philadelphia in 2019 to see a concert at the Union Transfer and while there we asked the locals where was the best place to get a Cheesesteak. Nearly every one of them said to avoid Pats King of Steaks. We were very surprised to hear that. They called it a tourist trap. The one place that kept coming up in their recommendations was a place called Sonny's, so we went there. It was awesome. An added bonus was my son got chewed out by one of the cooks for sitting down to save a table before we had our food. LOL!!! It's kind of like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld in there. You have to know what you want when you get to the window, they were very explicit about that.
