As best as I (a non-Philly native) can recall, a genuine cheesesteak needs to be on an soft Amoroso roll, with thinly-sliced-then-chopped beef cooked on a flat-top and served with Cheez-Whiz.

Tonight my wife was craving a cheesesteak for dinner, so I made us the following:

- Ribeye, cooked on medium-low heat
- Sauteed chopped Vidalia onions
- Sauteed sliced mushrooms, mix of button and shittake
- Slice of melted Swiss
- Served on a fresh baguette

I know, to a purist, I totally butchered it. But I don't care, it was delicious.

I personally think Cheez Whiz is gross (I've tried it... didn't like it). Much prefer Swiss or provolone (mozzarella is too stringy for a cheesesteak), sometimes with a spread of mayo.

I also want to try it on King's Hawaiian sweet bread... or maybe a ciabatta.

How do you take your cheesesteak?
