I have had many cuts of meat that cut tender on my plate but are hard to use for a sandwich. IMHO you have to be able to bite into the crusty roll and not play a tug of war with the meat...........At home I may use Top sirloin, Rib Eye, New York, and even Beef Tenderloin, I want to taste meat, not marinade....................PNWC

Even I'd taste good with the right marinade.

Jeez, it seems like the waste of a perfectly good kc strip or ribeye steak to slice it up into paper thin slivers. What are the other 9 cuts I could use?

Don't know about a KC Strip but a good cheesesteak does deserve Ribeye meat. I've heard of some people using an Eye of Round but I don't think it would have much flavor unless marinated.

Actually, eye of the round offers great flavor when thinly sliced and grilled on a flattop or in a skillet. Marination unneeded.

Bill, I don't think Carne asada is the best choice for a cheesesteak, it's not even in the top 10...........

So I couldn't make a cheesesteak with the carne asada meat? Thanks.

The first and last time I got meat at our local carniceria I also got a horrendous case of food poisoning.

I know that it doesn't mean it would always happen, but...

I'd be more than happy to try a CheeseVeal.

our Winco has the same cut. Seems like it says Carne Asada or
some such name.

The meat used for Carne Asada is an altogether different cut of meat than what you would use for a Cheesesteak.

I make wonderful veal piccata, veal saltimbocca, veal marsala (sans mushrooms--the original way), veal parmigiano, veal and peppers, etc. I just happened to have some veal that ended up not being used.

I know there's veal available out there because I've eaten it in a couple of restaurants.

Veal Saltimbocca is my death row meal!

I'm going to have to try some of these recipes. I miss a decent cheesesteak and only get one when I fly into Philly and drive to Valley Forge. OBTW, there are some good local places in Valley Forge that also serve a decent cheesesteak. Best we can do is the crappy Texadelphia here in Austin. Most certainly the Famous Daves of cheesesteaks.

If you have a Hispanic food store or a carnicería near you, you can get very thinly sliced beef there. Many Hispanic dishes call for thinly sliced meats. I never made the connection until I read Greymo's post, but I'm gonna give it a try.

Well, the cheeseSTEAK was delicious. But it's not a cheeseVeal.

Re:the ultimate cheesesteak recipe (mar52)

I can almost taste them. Guess I'll be having my butcher (like I have one) slice some eye of round for me.

I want one bad.

Re:the ultimate cheesesteak recipe (Michael Hoffman)

It was really good. Tonight, just for a quick comparison, I'm going to make a regular cheesesteak. It'll be the same thing -- toasted bolillo roll, grilled onions and sharp provolone -- except for the meat.

Well, I don't know about my cheeseveal, but someone's cheeseveal ought to be mighty high on the ultimeter.

Yours sounds delicious, I'll get some veal next time I'm at Costco getting Kirkland Hot Dogs and Siracha sauce!

Re:the ultimate cheesesteak recipe (Michael Hoffman)

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 17:15:20 GMT

Oh, I know it would be expensive. But I had the veal, and I was too lazy to make something good. But I was too cheap to toss the veal. So ...

You're lucky to have a supermarket selling the thin-sliced steak. By the way, if you can't get the steak, have the store butcher slice up an eye of the round. Works perfectly.

Re:the ultimate cheesesteak recipe (Greymo)

Your cheeseveal sounds wonderful. That would cost a fortune if you could buy it in a restaurant.

We had cheesesteaks on Friday made with fresh shaved steak which our supermarket now carries. I topped them with carmelized onions and sliced sharp provolone............they were really good.

Did it work with the Bolillo Roll?

Oh, yeah!

Michael, I'm impressed, Not surprised, but impressed, after all you are a scratch food kind of guy.

ChefBuba, the CheeseSteak looks great, and I know the white stuff is cheese and not mayo...............

I knew the ultimate Cheesesteak was not the real ultimate -----somewhere the real ultimate is undiscovered. Or maybe
Michael's Cheeseveal will ultimately be the ultimate.
