Well, search online if you must. You’ll quickly learn that to create an authentic cheesesteak sandwich, there are a few basics as well as a few open ‘secrets’. These include:
Thinly-sliced chopped steak that is cooked on a flat top grill. And only boneless steak will do. It is a well-marbled cut of beef. ‘Marbled’ is a polite way of saying ‘fat’, and fat = flavor. (Chiddy’s has a secret for keeping our steak slices both thin and uniform to keep the meat tender so it will cook evenly.)
Cooking Temperature: recipes vary, but Chiddy’s has perfected the ideal temperature for quickly grilling a steak to the perfect level of ‘doneness’. The result? Only melt-in-your-mouth tenderness without losing the meat juices that everybody savors! That’s what you can expect when you bite into a succulent Chiddy’s Cheesesteak!
Generosity: A true Philly Cheesesteak fills you up and then some! At Chiddy’s, we pile the meat on a toasted hoagie roll until it cannot hold anymore. Some of our customers ask for knives and forks, but we encourage our patrons to just dive right in!
Topped with melted American cheese, provolone cheese, or Cheez Whiz. (At Chiddy’s we offer the purists’ version with Cheez Whiz as well as the option to make a custom Philly Cheesesteak so you can have it your way.)
Once the basics of sandwich construction are finished, our customers can opt for the toppings of their choosing from fried onions, mushrooms, or sauteed bell peppers to name a few!
