Ribeye Philly Cheese Steaks
When we were named the official tailgate bbq ambassadors to the Edmonton Elks, we knew we needed to knock our food out of the stadium! I did some research to find the best and most sensational tailgate bbq food around. Taking my own tastes into account, I decided that philly cheesesteak sandwiches was the answer I was looking for. The crowd gobbled up dozens of sandwiches at the first game, so we will for sure be doing this recipe again in the near future. I know these are not traditional philly’s, these are just the way You Need a BBQ did it for this game and they were great, so we are giving you the recipe.

- Toasting your bunsPlace your buns on the smoker face down until they start to get toasty. Once you start seeing a little bit of color, flip the buns over and place a handful of cheese on the top of the bun, top the cheese with a scoop of the peppers and onions, some thinly sliced steak and let them continue to toast until the cheese is melted.

Notes
Additional Thoughts:
What is the best cut of steak for a philly cheesesteak?
For this recipe we used ribeye, but you could make this recipe with just about any cut of steak. My preferences in order would be Ribeye, Striploin, Tenderloin, Skirt Steak, Sirloin, and maybe tritip. You just want to make sure the meat has a good meat to fat ratio.
Is this recipe healthy?
Philly Cheese steak can be made with leaner cuts of meat and low fat cheese and stuffed with vegetables, but the way we make it is designer to be all about flavor, so we punch up the cheese and high fat steak in this recipe.
What if I am Gluten Free?
This recipe is entirely gluten free if you were to use a gluten free bun. So if your celiac friends are coming for dinner, this is a great recipe to give a try.
What are other great toppings on a philly cheesesteak?
I love putting pickled banana peppers on anything in a hot dog bun. I have also included things like mushrooms, leeks, raw and cooked onion, peppers, jalapeños, serrano’s. Once time I even made this recipe with some Szechuan sauce to make it a little more like an Asian philly.
