Wow, is about all I can say about this grilled Philly cheese-steak. Is it the same as or as great as the ones you can get at Pat’s or Geno’s in Philadelphia? Well, almost, and even better in its own way. And even better when done outside on the grill.
I fired up my ancient Weber Silver B gas grill with a griddle insert. If you don’t have a griddle insert for your grill get one. Weber makes them for just about every size grill they sell (and I have one for pretty much every grill I have). Check with your grill manufacturer. Chances are they have a griddle for your grill too. It’s worth every penny for everything from steak sandwiches to smash burgers to pancakes. Everything tastes better when cooked outdoors.
Thin Beef Means Great Results
The key to this great grilled Philly cheese-steak sandwich is the super-thinly sliced ribeye steak. So tender, meaty tasty. It was really perfect. If you want to up your cheese steak even more try my deluxe version, made with beef tenderloin.
