The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich is a quick & delicious meal. It is otherwise called a Philadelphia cheese steak, cheese steak sandwich, cheese steak, or steak & cheese, is a sandwich produced using meagerly cut bits of beef steak & melted cheese in a long hotdog roll.

The cheese steak was produced in the mid twentieth century “by joining frizzled hamburger, onions, & cheese in a little chunk of bread”.

This meal can be served with fries, baked potatoes, vegetables or salad. As per the image, I chose to serve my Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich with the microwavable version of the baked potato.
