How to Make a Cheesesteak

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

So you want to make a cheesesteak? and have no idea? Well, this isn't the hardest of tasks. In fact, it's easy and delicious.

Steps

1. Get your ingredients.
   
2. *Steak, preferably thin sirloin slices.
   
3. *Cheese -- processed american, provolone, or cheez-whiz.
   
4. *Hoagie buns --just buy anything that looks like it's made for a submarine sandwich.
   
5. Prepare a cooking surface, a griddle is preferable.
   
6. Slice the meat into semi-thin strips, and lay it on the cooking surface. Cook it as you normally would any steak (until brown and then flip), when you feel you have cooked it thoroughly, lay the cheese on. Let it melt on and move the steak around a little, just to make sure it doesn't stick.
   
7. When you have the meat mass into a rough hoagie shape, pick it up from the bottom with a spatula and lay it on.
   
8. Dress it with lettuce and usual sandwich ingredients if you choose or just eat it bare.
   

Tips

• Use a knife and spatula to work the meat and to cut it if needed on the cooking surface.
  
• The meat will take about 4-6 minutes to cook (depending on the thickness of the meat).
  
• A good tip is to microwave the buns a short while to heat them up before introducing the steak.A toaster oven is even better.
  
• Add butter or mayo to the buns for a zesty taste.
  

Warnings

• Have caution with working with a hot surface.
  
• Make sure to watch the steak while cooking as it cooks relatively fast and you do not want it to burn. You want the steak to be cooked medium rare to medium.
