The Best Philly Cheesesteak Recipe - Cheese Whiz vs. Provolone? | SAM THE COOKING GUY 4K

in the world of the Philly cheesesteak there are two cheese options really one is provolone and one is Cheez Whiz today we try them both first a little disclaimer I've never been to Philly I think I know one woman ELISA that is from Philly aside from that I can't say I've been at side Matt I can't speak short of knowing ELISA I've never been to Pat's I've never been to Geno's I've never been to Tony Luke's though the great Tony Luke was here in our kitchen where we had a little cheese steak off sounds sexual that sound a little sexual doesn't creepy but today we're gonna we're gonna make the cheesesteak the proper way for the the beef and the onions and stuff like that and then one will get provolone and one will get Cheez Whiz and we'll taste them and we'll see what what we like better of course it's a personal opinion but now you'll know how to do it properly as properly as I can having never been there never worked in a cheese steak shop never had one sent to me let's just start with some onions Joe we shall little avocado oil on our hot Evo and on they go and the smell right away right away at this point there's really not much to do other than let them start to get soft caramelize a little bit I don't want them brown or anything but I want them definitely getting more flavor but getting tender and soft and yummy in the world of the proper cheese steak they're really only a couple of decisions that have to be made which type of cheese cheese was the provolone in our case today and with onions or without onions and if you had one with Cheez Whiz you would order it like this whiz wit tells the guy behind the counter everything he needs to know provolone without tells the guy behind the counter everything he needs to know we're only going one way today wit onions are going in both of these the difference will be the cheese but so they're gonna get a little more cooking because we're gonna put them in with the steak which we're about to cut in a minute so I don't want them to done I love onions there should always be a jected there should always be a giant pile of onions on the evil cooking at all times like that's gonna happen like I barked out an order to somebody here that would be me I'd be barking to myself okay at this point I love these guys okay so I'm gonna take these guys off and then share some fun news with you there we go we're good okay you know I'm a fan of a Volvo car oil and why do I like it I like it for reasons I've explained many times it's made with good fat it smokes at 500 degrees and that pretty much takes out everybody else the point of using oil is for lubrication obviously sometimes you want it for flavor purposes extra-virgin olive oil maybe final drizzle on something sesame oil when you're May Asian type of foods that kind of stuff but generally 95% of the time what you want from your oil is lubrication and if I can use an oil that smokes at a higher temperature is made with good fat is better for you than the other ones I'm gonna go for it and my choice has always been al baqarah one so chosen foods the choice for 100% pure avocado oil came and said Sam we want to be part of your YouTube channel

foods is giving away two thousand one liter bottles of 100% pure avocado oil all you have to do is go to the greatest cooking oil calm I don't always use avocado oil but when I do I own okay should we continue on with our cheesesteaks shall we let's do it we shall this is a steak look you do what you want I'm gonna tell you this one thing the key to a Philly cheesesteak in this case a Sam San Diego cheesesteak whatever you call it is ribeye don't mess around and get some other weird cut and there's no chicken cheesesteak ladies joke notice this about my steak ready it's been in my freezer about an hour and why because it's almost impossible to cut this as thin as we want to if it's soft soft doesn't work this does work so here's what we're gonna do you know just take this a little bit off here and a little fats fine and now I'm just gonna start cutting thin okay and if I end up with a giant pile of this it's gonna be perfect so some shot is all right we don't want that so now we just do this we cut thin we've done this with short rib here cut it super thin cooked really fast it's a really great way to do this really great way if you had a slicer that would be ideal look we're trying to get as close as we can to the way they do it there and they could take a steak like this and they do the long strips of it well that's too difficult for you know regular people to do so I find this is easy and this is something that you can actually pull off at home and you're gonna get to virtually the same place as you would if you sliced it super long and again these little pieces of fat that are gonna show up in here I do not hate them I really don't because what's gonna happen when it's this thin is it's just really gonna melt and add flavor to everything and juice so just keep going this is about a pound slightly more than a pound of a steak I've taken a little bit off but it's all good and when you're done we're ready to cook and before we start to throw this on the grill we have to get our cheese whiz ready did that come out straight yes almost cheese whiz let's see there's two tablespoons there's 80 calories five grams of fat that's it we've all had cheese whiz right there's no having to explain what cheese was is it's it's cheese whiz and just like this and another blob because so we want now you don't want to burn it is not gonna take very long look it's almost there sort of but softer so you need it pourable right you don't want to have to clump that on top of the mistake you want it portable so we'll just let it do its thing for a sec now we'll address the buttons ok the roll the roll is an important component of it I know people are gonna scream and say that's not it so I failed right off the bat and I feel I feel bad about that but I don't have those Italian rolls or whatever they are that they that they use in Philly I just don't I've got these and these are gonna be pretty good I'm gonna cut them put a hinge that's always important so right here go but most of the way through we've got that I'm gonna throw them on the flat top just for a second or so to give them a little bit of crisp don't forget one's cheese whiz ones provolone now we're set Oh God alright I'm set the buns are ready the the steak is cut and ready the onions are ready to be included The Wiz is ready so let's make this happen ok buns will go on just to get a light toast on them and they will live there and before the meat goes on we're gonna put a little oil make that a little avocado oil wait make that chosen foods 100% pure avocado oil right there lovely lovely good fat high smoke does everything you want if we go bet and now here comes the steak just like this and I'm telling you it's gonna cook very quickly look at already it's happening ok I probably didn't need all this much [Music] but you want to separate right separate separate separate get the individual pieces the guide states about halfway done almost there look it so now here's what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna add onions to this remember your choices with or those wit or without and we're going wit set the buns light toast and now we season with salt as the great Tony Luke taught me now is when you add the salt if you add it too early it'll pull the moisture out of the meat and that's not what you want and we're also not cooking this very hot because it helps it to stay more moist again that's Tony Luke 101 right there okay so now check out what we're gonna do now we're gonna make a couple piles like this like this one or one for the provolone we do this move we put the cheese straight down like this and then this goes on top that does its thing this guy is done so now we can go here so while the provolone melts we pick up our perfect bun here and this cheese steak and this beef and onions this goes right on top beautifully set this guy down look at that the cheese is melting the whole thing is it's unfreaking believable and that needs to go in a bun when you've got your shot Maxie let's go I don't want to scoop some of this up are you ready what is that that is provolone all melted inside let's put it down check them both out okay there's the provolone all melty on top now you're come in with the cheese was here like that you know I'm a fan of putting something green on top of stuff little pop of color guess what I'm not putting on this anything else now look you got to admit it's tough to beat at least the looks of this one with the cheese whiz because it's gorgeous and it's bright and anytime you're ready max we can take bites which one will be better the provolone or the Wiz the provolone or the Wiz let's cut them in half and have a look we'll cut each all this Shh let's go because the cheese was is such a distinctive flavor I don't want to ruin my palate for the provolone so we're going provolone first because it's definitely more gentle you know the beef is so tender the provolone is there but it's not in your face the onions add I would only ever have a wit but that you taste the beef so well because there's not a lot of the flavors going in here there's no mayonnaise there's no there's no pepper there's just salt near the end Tony Luke is right that's when you add it okay oh come save in my opinion I know the whiz this melty gooey mess fly and abide and abide Wow it's gonna be hard clearly the whizzes cheese forward man you're getting more cheese in this than in the provolone mmm it's gooey or it's definitely richer on the mouth could I have to make a decision do I have to make a decision mm-hmm let me just have one more bite of this just to remind myself I think I'm the whiz guy I didn't see that coming that first bite with the provolone was fantastic but there's just something extra unctuous with the crazy whiz I'll probably die much quicker if I only eat the whiz kind because I don't know what the hell is in that but it's freaking great ladies and gentlemen one of the simplest things we've made onions beef cheese fun that's it that's really it what's the key freeze your ribeye slice it super thin salt lightly it then and that's it like Tony Luke would say okay today's been fun today's been crazy delicious he can't wait to get in here and figure out his own but thanks for being here and thank you chosen foods 2,000 of the 1 liter bottles remember where you gonna go you're gonna go to the greatest cooking oil dot-com sign up get your own bottle see ya thanks for hanging out with this very hot I'm gonna eat more [Music]

Now that's some food I'm excited to make. That Avocado oil ad was lame though.

[u/monkeyman80]

as to the cheesesteaks, i'm a wiz guy to. i always thought it was so weird and amazed people actually ate it. it just.. works. its that fatty richness that oozes everywhere and is a part of every bite.
