cheesesteak
Beef and cheese
A cheesesteak is a sandwich of thinly sliced beef and melted cheese on a long roll, originating in Philadelphia.
The meat is typically ribeye, griddled and chopped, with cheese—often Cheez Whiz, provolone, or American—melted over it.
Onions, peppers, and mushrooms are common additions.
I grabbed a cheesesteak from Pat's.
