The spices
Philly Cheese Steak is a classic American street food. It was invented by a Philadelphia hot dog vendor who one day put beef strips in his buns instead of sausages. Today, the Philly Cheese Steak enjoys a wide following worldwide and is a staple at many festivals. In Philadelphia, this dish even has its own holiday.
We've therefore put together a variation of this preparation in a wrap for you. The original recipe often uses provolone cheese (Italian hard cheese). But experimentation is welcome, and adding mushrooms or onions, for example, won't hurt this dish.
The preparation
Preparation time is approximately 20 minutes. The dish should be prepared in a pan or on a plancha/fire plate.
The ribeye steak is cut into thin strips, which can also be halved again. These are then seared thoroughly in a pan. The fat from the ribeye should be sufficient for this; if not, add a little olive oil. When the steak strips begin to show the first signs of grilling, add the chopped bell pepper to the pan and sear it until it is soft or has acquired some roasted flavors.
Now remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the thinly sliced Cheddar cheese over the meat and pepper mixture. Continue simmering on low heat, adding the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce to allow the cheese to melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
This mixture is then added to the wrap, which is then allowed to absorb some roasted aromas in the pan for a short time.
The wrap is served cut into pieces and garnished with onions or chives.
