Notes

Beef - use thinly sliced top round, sirloin or ribeye

Oil or Butter - I use a tablespoon of butter to saute the onions first; then add a tablespoon of oil to the skillet to cook the beef strips

Onion - use yellow, white or sweet yellow onion

Cheese - the original classic cheesesteak sandwich had Provolone; you can substitute with an American cheese, or CheezWhiz (which is not real cheese)
