A cheesesteak (also known as a Philadelphia cheesesteak, Philly cheesesteak, cheesesteak sandwich, cheesesteak, or steak and cheese) is a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. A favorite regional fast food, it has its roots in the U.S. city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Philadelphians Pat and Harry Olivieri are often credited with inventing the sandwich by serving cut steak on an Italian roll in the early 1930s.

So with this recipe, you can cook this juicy meat sandwich like the true American.

Preparation for cooking

Cut the baguette in halves. Cut the steak in long stripes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper (you can add more pepper if you want, it’s very important for the general seasoning of this dish).

Fry the meat

Preheat a grill pan to high. Grease with olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, add the red onion and steak stripes. Cook at high heat until they are golden brown (around 12 minutes, depending on your temperature and how do you like the meat).Lower heat and cover with gouda cheese slices (break them with your hands).

Mix it

Lower heat and cover with gouda cheese slices (break them with your hands). Once the cheese melts, fill the baguette with the meat and cheese mixture.
