AUTHENTIC PHILLY CHEESE STEAK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a work surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
• Cook chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Shred chicken; season with seasoned salt.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chicken; cook until heated through.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat a toaster oven.
• Spread chicken mixture on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Lay 2 pieces of provolone cheese side-by-side over chicken mixture.
• Place hoagie rolls under broiler or in toaster oven and cook until provolone cheese is melted and bread is crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on top half of each hoagie roll. Top each half with 2 tomato slices and 1/2 of the lettuce. Fold halves together and roll each hoagie tightly in foil, using a knife to push any filling back inside. Set aside for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• When hot, cover bottom with olive oil.
• Add the onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until carmelized, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Then, push the mixture off to one side of the griddle.
• Add the meat to the hot part of the griddle.
• Cook, continuously flipping the meat over and slightly chopping the meat into slightly smaller pieces with 2 spatulas, until the meat is not pink, which should take about 2 minutes.
• Mix the meat and the carmelized onions and bell pepper together.
• Divide into 2 portions, and top both portions with the cheese to melt.
• If using Italian or French bread, cut the bread in half, crosswise, and slice lengthwise to open for the 2 sandwiches.
• Hollow out some of the soft white bread part from inside and place face down on top of the meat and cheese.
• When the cheese is melted, and with 1 or 2 spatulas, flip the sandwiches over and add topping, such as marinara sauce or ketchup, if desired, and serve immediately.
