Philly Cheesesteaks

Busted out the Blackstone last night but my last propane tank was acting up and only putting out a little heat (something was wrong with the connection).

So onions, peppers, and bread on the stone and meat, cheese, and jalapeños on the Little Griddle  

Served with the only beer floating around in my garage and BBQ chips. Mostly because I forgot to cook the side dish. 

Side note. It is difficult to make a Philly cook look sexy until all the parts are together.

    Remove the connector from the tank then put it back on. Then slowly open the bottle valve. It has a safety over flow and, on mine, if I open the valve quickly it sometimes shuts the flow way down. Some thing happened on my Patio heater.

    Looks good!

    That looks great!  I have been wanting to do Philly's for a couple months now and my hangup has been finding good pre-sliced meat.  Others on the forum have indicated they sliced their own steak.  Did you slice your own or buy pre-sliced?  The mountains are blue!  Nothing wrong with a cold Coors Light.

  • @Hotch I have put this 1 tank on 3 different types of burners. Same result. (one without a regulator just out of curiosity) I swear I think the throat of the tank is bent. Usually I get mine refilled but this one is going back spray painted "POS" on the side of it. 

    @jdkeithbge I just talked to a butcher in town and he said they could slice them for me. But I had these leftover in the freezer. Steak-Eze brand I think. Considering you are covering them in cheese and spices and throwing on a sandwich I'm wondering if the price of the butcher sliced ribeyes are worth it.

    You can get them at Gordon's Food Supply. If they have those in Texas.

    We bought a 30 pound chuck roll, sectioned it, par-froze and ran it thru the slicer.

    Very nice job....and a great plate of grub.   A friendly attempt to challenge this statement however. :o
