A cheesesteak is a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of steak and melted cheese in a long roll. It is also known as a Philadelphia cheesesteak, Philly cheesesteak, cheese steak or steak and cheese. It is a popular regional food and has its roots in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to an exhibition catalog of nineteen hundred and eighty seven published by the Library Company of Philadelphia and Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the cheesesteak was developed in the early twentieth century, “by combining frizzled beef, onions and cheese in a small loaf of bread”. Philadelphians Pat and Harry Olivieri are often credited with inventing the sandwich by serving chopped steak on hoagie rolls in the early nineteen hundred and thirties. They began selling this variation of steak sandwiches at their hot dog stand near south Philadelphia’s Italian Market. They became so popular that Pat opened up his own restaurant. It still operates today as Pat’s King of Steaks. The sandwich was originally prepared without cheese.

Pat’s and Geno’s Steaks have a highly publicized rivalry. They are located across the street from each other on the Ninth Street and Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia. Throughout the city, cheesesteaks have become popular in restaurants, cafeterias and food carts. Many locations are independently owned family run businesses. Variations of cheesesteaks are now common in several fast food chains. Versions of the sandwich can also be found in locations ranging from bars to high-end restaurants.

The meat traditionally used is thinly sliced rib-eye or top round, although other cuts of beef are also used. On a lightly oiled griddle at medium temperature, the steak slices are quickly browned and then scrambled into smaller pieces with a flat spatula. Slices of cheese are then placed over the meat, letting it melt and then the roll is placed on top of the cheese. The mixture is then scooped up with a spatula, pressed into the roll and cut in half.
