Philly Cheesesteak Burger



This was my take on the Philly cheese steak. The classic cheese steak option is what they call a whiz "wit" which means you want cheese whiz and onions. I started with a fresh Portuguese roll and smothered it with a gooey warm cheese whiz sauce. Then I sautéed the black pepper seasoned white onions on my cooking stone on the grill with a little butter and vegetable oil. The onions caramelized until they were almost a creamy texture. Next I cooked the burger to a perfect medium rare only flipping it once with some beautiful grill marks from the close to 500 degree grill. After the burger was finished which takes about 5 minutes on each side I then put the burger aside to let it rest so that the juices could recollect. Then I placed the burger on the cheese sauced bun and covered it with another layer of the cheese sauce and finally topped it with a heaping spoonful of the caramelized white onions and topped it all off with some ketchup. I don't now if it was the better quality bun or the fake processed cheese sauce but this burger was a hit. Its gooyness from the cheese and the different textures inside made the best burger I have had in a while. This was definitely a winner and one I would certainly recreate again but not for another 30 weeks. I am looking forward to next week in my trip to create the perfect burger. See you next week.
