PHILADELPHIA CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH

Tammie and I had this for the first time in upstate New York when we were visiting Sissypooh and Lisa in 2000... It is one of our favorite sandwiches... :)
 
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 medium onions, sliced as thin as possible and rings separated
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

12 ounces chipped steak (thin sliced eye of round, rib eye, or sirloin tip roast)*

Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Cheese Whiz or provolone cheese slices

1 Italian, French or hoagie roll

Dill pickle spears

* Freeze steak before sliced. Slice it paper thin.

In a large frying pan over high heat, add olive oil and heat so that a drop of water will sizzle when you drop it in the oil; lower heat to medium. Add onions and mushrooms, stir and cook until mushrooms darken and onions start to look transparent. Add steak slices and cook for 3 minutes or until meat lightly browns. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Heap cooked meat mixture in a long pile across pan, Lay cheese slices over meat until melted. If using Cheese Whiz, melt in a double boiler or in the microwave.

Slice bread lengthwise. Using a spatula, scoop meat mixture and cheese and lay on bread with cheese on top. If using melted Cheese Whiz, ladle it on top. slice sandwich into 2 or 4 pieces, and serve with a dill pickle. Makes 2 servings.
