Pawhuska Cheese Steaks Recipes

CHEESESTEAK PANINI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion, season with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Throw the roast beef into the same skillet, breaking it up a little as you go. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire and warm for about a minute or so. Remove from the heat.
• To build: Heat a panini maker (or set a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat).
• Spread half of the mustard onto a slice of bread and top with 2 slices of provolone. Add half of the beef and veggie mix. Top with half of the Homemade Cheese Sauce and another slice of bread. Spread the top side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of butter. Repeat and build the second sandwich.
• Invert the sandwiches butter-side down on the hot panini maker (or grill pan or skillet). Spread another tablespoon of butter on each of the tops.
• Close the panini maker and grill until the bread is crusty and golden and the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. (If using a grill pan or skillet, carefully flip the sandwiches halfway through.) Slice in half and enjoy!
• Place a double boiler over medium heat. Add the cubed cheese and milk and heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, vinegar and salt. Grate the garlic into the mixture using a rasp grater; stir to combine. Cook until the flavors meld, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove the onion to a plate. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring, until just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add a few dashes each of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and toss to coat.
• Pile the beef and onion onto the rolls and top with cherry peppers and cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil (open-face) until the cheese melts.

OPEN-FACED NY STRIP "PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet, and bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool in a single layer.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and peppers are tender.
• Season steak with salt and pepper. In another large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook about 6 minutes per side, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 120 degrees F. Set aside to cool. Slice the steak "paper thin" (a slicer is great for this). Keep warm until ready to assemble.
• To assemble:
• Lay a slice of meat on each slice of baguette toast and top with 1 teaspoon of caramelized onions and peppers and a drizzle of the cheese sauce. Serve.

CIABATTA CHEESE STEAKS WITH THE WORKS

Steps:

• Leave the steaks on the counter, to take chill off, while the grill or grill pan heats up to medium-high. Coat the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil and grill seasoning.
• Heat 2 tablespoons, 2 turns of the pan, extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubanelle peppers, the garlic and onions and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add a splash of hot pepper juice and the hot pepper rings and remove from the heat.
• Heat oven to 250 degrees F.
• While the peppers cook, put the steaks on the hot grill and cook 10 minutes for rare, 2 minutes longer for each level of desired doneness, turning once about midway during the cook time. Meanwhile heat up a sauce pot over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, to taste. Thicken the sauce for a couple of minutes, then reduce the heat to low.
• When the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, remove them to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice on an angle against the grain of the meat. While the meat rests, warm the bread in the oven. Stir the cheese into sauce.
• To serve, split the bread lengthwise and spread the steak slices evenly across the bottoms of the bread. Top the steak with the sauce and the peppers and onions. Cover with the bread tops and cut the ciabatta into 4 equal portions
