Cheesesteak

Philadelphia Cheese Steak, aka Philly Cheese Steak or simply cheesesteak (so named due to its origin in Philadelphia) is a sandwich often meeting the following criteria:

• It is made with a submarine or Hoagie roll (an oblong, typically 6" or 12" piece of latitudinally-sliced French or Italian bread)
• It contains a thinly-sliced, grilled piece of steak; Swiss or provolone cheese; and possibly other ingredients including grilled onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and/or pizza sauce (a Pizza Steak). The cheese can be of many variates: provolone, American, or even cheese whiz!

"Philly cheesesteaks" can be found throughout the U.S. and Canada at various sandwich restaurants, some of which specialize in or serve only cheesesteaks.
