Philly Cheesesteak
Philly Cheesesteak Recipe by Best Online Steaks
The brothers Pat and Hank Olivieri, two 1930s street vendors, created the iconic Philly Cheesesteak. Pat grew tired of eating from the limited menu they sold and brought a ribeye to the cart to whip up something a little different. The vendor cooked the steak along with a few onions before placing it on a toasted bun.
The aroma attracted the interest of a nearby customer. Quickly the duo recognized the potential of the creation and eventually traded in their cart for a shop where the sandwich became the beloved delicacy known today. The Philly Cheesesteak has its fans that demand the sandwich never stray from the original recipe, but most people love to adapt it to meet their tastes.
