Author Notes
My husband has a big love for Philly Cheesesteak and one of my daughters love Asiago cheese. I decided to use the cheesesteak and Asiago as my inspiration and recreate the traditional cheesesteak. Since I live in New York, I consider it a New York spin on Philly style. I think it's an alternative that many will enjoy! - sugarsmacks —sugarsmacks
Test Kitchen Notes
As someone originally from Pennsylvania, I'm happy to say this cheesesteak recipe solves some problems I've always had with Philly versions. The choice of Asiago cheese is a departure from the standard, and boy, is it a welcome change! I love its sharpness, and while it doesn't intercalate into the steak, onions and peppers like Provolone or American, it contributes so much more than those milder cheeses. Secondly, the tarragon, garlic and red wine marinade means that if you end up with that last bite that's usually just steak and bun, you're still getting some very nice flavor. It's a straight-forward recipe to boot, so what's not to like? - brooklynsam —brooklynsam
