28: Cheese steaks a la Vin

While some may think South Philly is the place to get a cheese steak, they are wrong. Others may say Jersey is the place to go... but with all the chemicals everywhere?* Nah. The best cheese steaks are at Vin's place.

I start with hand-selected rolls from the Amoroso bakery. Then I buy 'chop steak' from Venizia Meats, along with a pound of Cooper Sharp cheese. If anyone tells you that cheese steaks are best with 'Cheez Whiz', then I give you permission to cockpunch/cuntpunt that person until they stop moving.

I slice two large Vidalia onions and saute them with unsalted butter.

When they turn opaque, add the meat.

When the meat has lost it's pinknicity, you add the cheese.

Mix it all thoroughly, then marry cheesemeat to bun.

Nom... and thank whatever gods you pray to, that you know me well enough for me to share this with you.

Recipe Vin. I made mine with a bechamel-based sauce.

[Ed Hocken]

Hmm, I could make that but without onions. Or perhaps chop the onion into tiny pieces.

That's pretty much the recipe right there. I'm sure you can find Cooper Sharp cheese in Montreal. You can find anything in that town... and that's why I love it. But if you can't, a mild white cheddar will do in a pinch.

You could do that, Ed... but then they would not be 'Vin's Cheese Steaks'. They would be 'Ed's Cheese Steaks'... and I don't know if anyone would want an 'Ed, no onions' over a 'Vin with the works'...

I prefer the "Rob with extra cream"

Great recipe, Vin. I may very well try that one this Labor Day weekend.

That sounds fucking awesome.

How much chop steak do we need here? I can eat a shitload of steak.

Ballpark figure? For feeding 4 people... about a pound. For you?

About a pound.

I'm with Ed on this one. While I like the flavor they impart, onions make me want to vom. And they have on a couple of occasions.

29. Black Cherries. As a kid, these were a rare treat, being seasonal & expensive. But given a choice between a big bowl of cherries & a bowl of candy, the cherries would win. Every time. That's still the case.

PB&J.

Simple, yes. A little kiddy? Maybe. But no matter what your preference is, this is one fantastic sandwich. Unless you're allergic to peanuts, I suppose. My way? Smuckers grape JAM(very important) and Skippy crunchy. Yum.
