Koolblue13 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I dreamed of cheesesteaks last night. OP I hope you're happy with yourself. Just about everybody puts ketchup on a cheesesteak. Just about everybody. It pretty much goes without saying. The roast beef sandwiches you people confuse with a cheesesteak maybe not though. I want Philly style pizza slices and a cheesesteak. I'd get two slices to eat while waiting for my cheesesteak and fries (that also usually have melted American cheese melted on them). Then when I get my sandwich, I put ketchup and spicy mustard and crushed red pepper on it, as well as a dipping puddle for my sandwich and cheesefries, that Ill let the sandwich drippings pool up on top of. *weeps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysknz1 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ketchup on any steak is blasphemous. If a steak is cooked right it needs nothing. even cheese steak. I'm not a fan of ketchup, catsup not so much either, only put it on fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm willing to bet that half of them misread the poll question, which is phrased differently than the thread title. Yeah after looking at it you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You don't really put it on the cheesesteak, you dip it in it before you bite it. I'm guilty of this....

Koolblue13 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aren't you in St. Thomas? Guess that ain't happenin' at your current address. What's your "go-to" food there? St Croix. My go to food here? I don't really have one. There is great local food like doubles and roti, but ya gotta love curry. I do, but it doesn't cover a cheesesteak craving. Some places do actually make some pretty good ones here, but it's not like in Philly, more like what ya get in MD or VA. A good roast beef, with the meat shredded instead of sliced, ya know. I use to make a box of mac and cheese, with two cans of beefaroni. I may have done that recently. :paranoid: I can also do a vegan version. I'll be going back to the grocery store today before the tropical storm hits, to buy ketchup and steak meat and a local bakery for bread. I've already got mustard, CRPs and cheese (can't get white NYer unless I buy a large log, so it'll be cheddar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'll be going back to the grocery store today before the tropical storm hits, to buy ketchup and steak meat and a local bakery for bread. If it helps, here's an official recipe from Pat's.... Ingredients 6 tablespoons Soya bean oil 1 large onion, sliced 24 ounces sliced rib eye or eye roll steak Cheese (store processed recommended); American or Provolone 4 crusty Italian Rolls Sweet green and red peppers, sauteed in oil (optional) Mushrooms sauteed in oil (optional) Ketchup Directions Heat an iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of oil to the pan and saute the onions to desired doneness. Remove the onions and add the remaining oil and saute the slices of meat quickly on both sides. Melt the cheez whiz in a double boiler or in the microwave. Place 8 ounces of the meat into the rolls, add onions, and pour the store-processed cheese over top. Garnish with sweet peppers, mushrooms, ketchup. Put on the theme song to the first Rocky movie and enjoy. * Professional Recipe This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional and makes a large quantity. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe in the proportions indicated and therefore cannot make any representation as to the results. I have bolded the word relevant to this thread. Given that they invented the thing, I guess they'd know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks TB. Being from Phiily, I know how to make a great one. It's in the same vein as chinese people knowing karate and brazilians knowing how to dance. It goes without saying. I do like that is doesn't say Whiz for the cheese. If you go to any of the main places, and you say "one wit", you get a cheesesteak with fried onions and white melted new yorker american cheese and there is a ketchup bottle on the counter, everything else is somewhere else.

zCommander Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Wtf is wrong with you people? You don't put catsup on ribeye. Period. There is no discussion here It depends. If it is made really juicy then no. If not then I will dip into my ketchup but not put it on the cheesesteak. You can substitute that with barbecue sauce as well. I try different things all of the time so one must has to see what one's taste bud say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan07 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My roommate and I have a disagreement. Is it blasphemous to put ketchup on a cheesesteak? Help us come to a conclusion ES! Yes it is. Ketchup doesn't deserve to be anywhere near an old fashioned Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da#1skinsfan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 On a steak and cheese from the carry out, Mayo, Lettuce, and Tomatoes....On a Philly Cheese Steak, nothing. Bingo. A true cheesesteak is all about 3 things - cheese, steak, bread. Onions/peppers/shrooms are acceptable per your interests, but when you start throwing condiments and lettuce/tomato on there, you are no longer eating a cheesesteak, it's now a hoagie. In my opinion, the only cheesesteak that requires ketchup is a DRY cheesesteak (JIM'S!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm from the north and couldn't give a **** if it's gas or charcoal. Actually, I prefer gas 10 times to 1. Charcoal?!? Where am I?

RabidFan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Honestly i first read the question as "ketchup on a cheesecake" to which i thought you needed the white coats to come get you right away. As for the cheesesteak? The wife and i don't put it on it but put some on the plate beside it for dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
