The Perfect Philly Cheesesteak At Home (2 Ways)

A Philly cheesesteak should be greasy, cheesy, and of course, have great bread. But the most important thing is that you can't stop thinking about it after you've eaten it. That's what makes it great.

As a Philadelphian, I was so proud when you didn't go to pats and Geno's. I was really ready to be disappointed. Thank you Tom.

I tried this recipe last week.

Another two weeks and I can finally have lunch.

Josh: it is actually easy to make a philly cheesesteak

Also josh: takes a week and a half to make one

Quick tip: We use about 2" thick, high quality ribeye steaks. We freeze them just about solid, and slice them on a mandolin. It gives you the perfect consistency and thickness for the meat EVERY time! Also, I have a cheap, crappy mandolin from Walmart... I think it was like, $15 bucks. It works great!

Just made the baguettes. My first time baking bread (I'm 67). Came out awesome! Will definitely make it again. Perfect with my steak and cheese. A few weeks ago my wife bought me Joshua'a cookbook. Looking forward to making a few things from it. Thanks, Joshua!

"there's almost too much flavor" suffering from success

I'm a fully formed adult and there was no way in hell I was baking bread.
I went straight to the store, bought the bread and followed this recipe. It was great!
Thanks for the video

Whenever I see the words "Philly Cheesesteak" I instantly think of the episode from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where Will and Uncle Phil argue over what makes a Philly Cheesesteak, a Philly Cheesesteak.

He put more energy into that bread than my father did in my childhood. Thanks papa.

Man, that looks incredible, but I won’t lie. I was hoping you’d show us how to make artisanal cheese wiz

[Deimos]

As an *almost* Phillidelphian (I live about 45 minutes out), I would say I have the same opinion. I have never had a jaw-droppingly good cheesesteak, I think most that I've gotten in philly were too oily/dry/bland, and if I were to make one, I could only pray to God it looked that amazing.

Dude you knocked this out of the park. I know there will be those that will cry because it's not chopped enough, but you nailed it. I worked on a cheesesteak truck and shop and the sear is something so many places miss. Most shops in Philly and the surrounding area use good beef, but then essentially boil it on the flattop. Thank you!

"This needs mustard" my grandpa who was born and raised in Philly used to get his with mustard, my dad thought he was crazy but maybe he was onto something

[zigwil]

This has to be the most over-the-top cheesesteak video.... 3 or 4 days for a roll, 3 or 4 bone-thick rib roast, short ribs, a deli slicer, beef tallow, a big griddle (just for making a sandwich).... it looks absolutely incredible, as it should considering the aforementioned

[cristaalvarez]

For anyone who wants to make this irl (and doesn’t want to spend 4 days making bread 😂) - the Cubano bread is a great sub for the loaf he makes here, and can be done in an afternoon. Made it yesterday and it was amazing!! Only other thing we did different is we got a jar of the cherry peppers from jimmy John’s and omg 🤤 it was amazing!!

I dropped everything to watch this episode. I love Philly Cheese Steak

[Pekeliini]

I'm starting to get the feeling that Josh just likes everything extra salty

[Fordi]

The traditional steak: not sure I accept the mayo, but technique-wise, you've got it almost perfect. The sharp provolone is the right choice, as is the big onion. The only major thing it's missing is the day's worth of heat-reduced line cook sweat you get from the 4pm steak at Jim's on South in the middle of summer.

The "but better": it looks delicious, and I would absolutely drown in it, but you're right - it's not a Philly cheese steak. That said, give me five of 'em.

From the heart of this South Philly native, thank you for taking the Philly steak seriously enough to do it right.

I'm a chef in Las Vegas, and the mind, body, dough connection is the best culinary advice I've heard, in at least 5 years!!!....
