massive overkill

This is not even close to a real cheesesteak recipe. It's a SIMPLE sandwich, and this is massive overkill. Here's what it comes down to- 1. fresh italian roll with soft inside and crusty exterior 2. paper-thin thin-sliced ribeye seasoned with salt & pepper 3. cheese (american, whiz, or prov) 4. lighly seasoned (salt&pepper ONLY)sauteed chopped onions. THAT'S IT




Way too overpowering taste

Blah Blah Blah. I went all over town to go and get all of the ingredients, made the dang sandwiches and ended up taking one bite and throwing it out. The relish was too tangy and the onions were so hot (not good hot but bad hot) I had to stop eating and almost vomit. Do not waste your time like I did. I usually love her recipes but this one is overdone and over worked.




Delicious!

I've always had cravings for these sandwiches and now I can make them at home. After all, I live a good distance from NY. The marinated onions alone are outstanding. And now I have a new appreciation for Kaiser Rolls. I made this recipe with chicken, too, for the non-beef eaters but it just didn't have that same flavor.




This is how i feel

So much potential, but too salty

The spice mixture for the onions had TOO much salt in it -- very tasty combo, but I would probably cut the salt to ONE T. salt with all the other spices. The rest of the recipe was great. Loved the relish, had it on Italian homemade sub buns and it was a real treat. Couldn't bring myself to use Cheese Whiz as suggested in most Philly sandwiches, used baby swiss which was delightful. So other than too much salt, I would try this again with delight.
