- How do I cut meat so thin?
- Put meat in freezer for 30-45 minutes before slicing. If semi-frozen, it's much easier to slice thinly.
Philly cheesesteak
Philadelphia's iconic street food. Not an elegant dish, but a juicy, greasy, meaty delight. The secret is the wafer-thin sliced beef (Ribeye is best for fat content) and melting the meat together with the cheese on the griddle.

Instructions
1
✓
Heat oil, caramelise onion and pepper over medium heat (approx. 10 mins). Remove from pan.
2
✓
Increase heat to max. Throw in thin meat slices. Salt, pepper. Fry quickly, moving constantly, until browned (approx. 2-3 mins).
Tip: Thin meat dries out instantly if overcooked. Just get a crust!
3
✓
Stir onion and pepper back into meat. Divide into 4 piles in the pan.
4
✓
Place 2 slices of cheese on each pile. Cover for 1 minute so cheese melts onto meat.
5
✓
Cut rolls in half, place over meat-cheese piles in pan, then using a spatula flip the whole thing into the sandwich.
Tip: This warms the roll and soaks up juices.
