Philly Cheesesteak Star

I'm sure you've seen this recipe and video, making it's rounds around social media, more specifically on Facebook.

I saw it a while ago and saved it to my favorites, but only really got around to trying it yesterday.

The first thing that caught my eye was that it's pretty inexpensive to make.  I used one thin steak and it was only a little over a dollar for it, and I made my own pizza dough recipe, which you can find here on the blog.

The results, super delicious, quick, easy and I think one of the family's newest faves.  It almost tasted like the Domino's Philly Cheesesteak pizza.  Yum!!

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

I love philly cheesesteaks, just love them so much but truth be told, it's kinda hard to find a really good one.

Luckily here on base we do have Charley's which make really good sandwiches, but I want to be able to make it for myself at home.

I have tried so many recipes and I don't we'll ever be able to make it exactly like you would get in Philly, but some do come close.

This one is pretty good, at least for me, you'll have to judge for yourself.
