Ingredients

Beef:

  • 1.5 lbs Thinly Sliced Ribeye
  • 1.5 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1.5 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1.5 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • Canola Oil as needed

Caramelized Onions:

  • 1 Whole Yellow Onion sliced
  • Canola Oil as needed

Special Sauce:

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Ketchup
  • 2.5 tbsp Relish
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsp White Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp White Sugar

Cheesesteaks:

  • Sandwich Bun
  • Sliced American Cheese
  • Sliced Tomatoes
  • Sliced Lettuce
  • Dill Pickles chips

Instructions

Caramelized Onions:

  • Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 300F) for direct cooking.
  • Add a cast iron skillet to heat up for 2 minutes over the fire.
  • Add 2 tbsp of oil then your diced onion. Slow cook the onions, making sure to stir often, until they turn to a dark brown color (about 45 minutes of cooking).
  • Once the onions are done, pull them off and keep warm.

Cheesesteaks:

  • Heat your grill at high heat (around 450F) for direct cooking.
  • Add a cast iron skillet or plancha over the flames. Add the beef and “chop” it up more so it's finely cut.
  • Once all the meat is cooked and there is no more red in the meat, season with salt, pepper and garlic.
  • Add your caramelized onions to the meat and mix with the meat.
  • Make the meat into a shape on the skillet that will fit on your bun, then cover the top with cheese and let it melt.
  • Add the sliced bun over the pile of meat and then lift it up and into the bun.
  • Set the cheesesteak down on a platter and repeat for the other cheesesteaks.
  • Build your cheesesteak with the special sauce, pickles, tomatoes and lettuce.
  • For extra flavor, wrap in foil and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half, serve and enjoy!
