Gourmet Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
Green Sauce

A decadent twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak featuring savory Australian Angus minced beef, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and a vibrant green spicy sauce inside a toasted bun.

Ingredients

• 500 g Australian Angus minced beef
• 2 bread rolls
• 2 onions
• 4 slices cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup broth
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp flour
• 3 tbsp green spicy sauce
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper
• 1 tsp spices

Instructions

1. 1Pour olive oil into the pot

   

   Pour olive oil into a stainless steel pot placed on a burner to prepare the base for cooking the onions.

   Tip: Ensure the pot is dry before adding the oil to prevent splattering.
2. 2Add sliced onions

   

   Add sliced onions into the pot with the heated olive oil while steam begins to rise from the heating process.

   Tip: Slice the onions evenly to ensure they caramelize at a consistent rate.
3. 3Season the onions

   

   Sprinkle salt and black pepper directly onto the onions in the pot to enhance their flavor and draw out moisture.

   Tip: Adding salt early helps the onions sweat and break down faster during cooking.
4. 4Pour in broth

   

   Pour broth into the pot containing the browned onions, allowing the mixture to simmer until the sauce thickens.

   Tip: Simmer on medium-low heat to let the flavors concentrate into a rich reduction.
5. 5Prepare the garlic mayonnaise

   

   Combine mayonnaise in a bowl with black pepper and minced garlic, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful spread.

   Tip: Let the mixture rest for a few minutes so the garlic flavor infuses into the mayonnaise.
6. 6Add minced beef to the pan

   

   Transfer Australian Angus minced beef into a hot pan using tongs to begin the browning process.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the beef to get a good sear.
7. 7Add Chopped Onions

   

   Pour the freshly chopped onions from the tray directly into the cast-iron pan containing the browned minced beef. Stir the mixture well to distribute the onions evenly throughout the meat.

   Tip: Add the onions while the beef is still hot so they begin to soften and release their moisture into the meat.
8. 8Sprinkle Spices and Flour

   

   Tip a tray of flour and spices, including seasoning and seasonings, over the beef and onion mixture in the pan. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the ingredients and create a base for the sauce thickening.

   Tip: Sprinkle the flour evenly across the surface to prevent it from clumping when it meets the pan juices.
9. 9Top with Cheese Slices

   

   Lay square slices of cheese flat across the top of the cooked beef and onion mixture in the pan, ensuring the meat is completely covered for a rich, melted layer.

   Tip: Overlap the cheese slices slightly so they form a continuous blanket over the beef as they melt.
10. 10Torch the Cheese

    

    Hold a culinary torch over the cheese slices, directing the blue flame evenly across the surface until the cheese melts completely and begins to bubble slightly.

    Tip: Keep the torch moving in a sweeping motion to avoid burning or scorching the cheese in one spot.
11. 11Slice and Prep the Bread Roll

    

    Take a freshly baked bread roll and use a sharp knife on a wooden cutting board to slice it open lengthwise. Prepare the interior for spreading the garlic mayonnaise mixture.

    Tip: Cut carefully through the roll without slicing all the way through the bottom crust to keep the sandwich intact.
12. 12Toast the Bread Rolls

    

    Place the prepared bread rolls face-down into a hot cast-iron pan. Toast them until the cut surfaces are golden brown and crispy.

    Tip: Press down gently on the rolls to ensure even contact with the hot pan surface for an uniform golden crust.
13. 13Spread the green spicy sauce

    

    Take the toasted bread roll and spread a generous amount of green spicy sauce evenly onto the inside surface.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of spicy sauce depending on your desired level of heat.
14. 14Add caramelized onions

    

    Using kitchen tongs, carefully take a portion of the prepared caramelized onions and place them directly on top of the layer of green sauce inside the bread roll.

    Tip: Ensure the onions are evenly distributed along the length of the bread for a balanced bite.
15. 15Add the melted cheesy beef mixture

    

    Using a serving utensil, scoop up the hot Australian Angus minced beef topped with melted cheese and add it into the sandwich directly over the caramelized onions.

    Tip: Make sure the cheese is fully melted over the beef before transferring it to the sandwich.
