My Philly Steak Subs

Aug 12 2015

It was a great day today, mostly sunny and 75 deg. I sat out back most of the afternoon while the grandson spread sand on my brick walks and patios. They are laid from old street bricks all over 100 years old. Every few years I have to add some new sand to fill in between the bricks. He spread four 40 lb. bags of sand. He didn’t stay for supper; his Mom picked him up early to get ready for his soccer teams pool party tonight.

My supper was my take on a Philly Steak Sub done on my Weber Spirit on the flat side of grill grates.
I had bought three nice sirloin tip steaks from my butcher. I made some potato salad and had some corn left to have corn on the cob.

Two of the steaks were plenty for the sandwiches, I threw them in the freezer for a while and then trimmed and sliced about 1/8 inch thick. I seasoned them with some mushroom powder and some Weber’s Chicago steak seasoning. I guess this will be a Philly Chicago Steak Sub! I sliced some onions thin and had baby Swiss cheese to top it with.

I heated the Weber to 400 deg. put the beef on for a couple minutes then flipped and added the onions on top. I let it cook a couple of minutes and then added the cheese and the buns to toast. When I took them off I could see I had enough beef for 4 sandwiches! We could hardly get them folded to pick up and eat!

They were delicious and the steak was really tender. My potato salad was not my best but decent. The white corn picked yesterday was good as usual!

Great looking cook Don! We use chip steak around these parts for homemade cheesesteaks, but I am liking yours better.


The Baby Swiss may not be what they do in Philly, but it sure gets my vote!  YUM!!!

At the tourist traps you are correct, just Provolone (the original), Whiz, and American.  Any pizza shop, however, will have more choices of cheese, including swiss.

Funny, I actually complained to my wife about the fact that the place I had the sandwich at the other day (and the other really good one I had a couple of weeks ago) felt the need to call it a Philly.  Just call it a cheese steak hoagie, and move on IMO.  It can still be good without the "marketing."

Don those look fantastic!

Way better than any sub shop out here.

We do have a chain out here that is called Jersey Mike's and it is not bad.

I have heard what makes a true Jersey sub is the water they use to make the bread. The water in Jersey gives the bread a unique flavor. We had a place out here that actually bought their bread from Jersey. At least this is what they told me...
