Cheesesteaks with fried onions and gooie American cheese


 Tools:
Large frying pan
Small frying pan
Sharp knife
Spatula
small pot
Whisk
cutting board
measuring cup
tablespoon


Ingredients: 
1 1/2lbs fresh sandwich steak (thin chuck)
large white onion
1 cup milk
2 tbsp flour
6-7 slices American cheese
1 Tbsp butter or olive oil
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
6 torpedo rolls
Directions:
Take fresh steak meat and freeze for 15 minutes, this will allow you to cut your steak into strips easier instead of doing it while cooking which could really take some arm strength. Chop the onion in to bite sized peaces. Heat both large and small pans to a medium-high heat.  In the large pan, place the steak and Worcestershire.  In the small, melt butter and add onion. Reduce small pan heat to prevent burning. Cook onions till golden, roughly 10 minutes depending on size
and temperature.

Cook steak till no visibly pink steak is left. Roughly 10-15 minutes.  While the steak and onions are almost done you can begin the cheese sauce, it only takes a few minutes.

Add flour to small pot, over medium heat, constantly whisk while adding the milk. After a minute or so it will begin to thicken.  As that

happens, tear the cheese into small pieces and toss them into the milk flour. Continue to whisk for another minute or so until the cheese melts into the butter.

Prep your roll however you like, add steak, onion and cheese sauce, enjoy.
