steak and cheese sub

So there's a ton of varieties of how you want your steak and cheese and at some point you have to try all of them.  This is a super fun version that's GREAT for a cookout or to prep for a back yard keg party.  Get a better-quality cut of beef and cut it into bit-sized cubes or strips.  Personally for this I like tenderloin since they'll be small chunks and its better if they're not chewy or tendonous.  Combine with some chopped green peppers and onions, season with some salt and just a bit of olive oil then either toss in a grill wok over fire or sautee on high in a shallow pan on the stove.  Once it's cooked to your liking spoon some in a toasted sub roll and here's the kicker, ladle about a half cup of melted Velveeta over top.  That might sound ridiculous but it's fantastic.  A little class, a little Kmart, this tenderloin-Velveeta steak and cheese will be the talk of your party.  Oh and to stay with the street vendor tradition, be sure to serve in aluminum foil!

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
