Cooking With Cobrasaurus Rex - The Philly Cheesesteak Edition

Welcome to the first episode Cooking with Cobrasaurus Rex! Each week here on the Oh Snap! blog we will be bringing you some of the finest recipes and freshest beats and this week we made a Philly Cheesteak Sandwich based on a recipe by Jamie Oliver. Our guest this week giving us a hand and telling us what she thinks of our culinary prowess is Jackie Macdonald.
So first off you are going to need a few ingredients:
4 small onions
1 striploin steak
1 large baguette
provolone cheese
balsamic vinegar
arugula
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
mustard

Step 1
Chop your onions into thin strips , and sautè them in a pan with about two tbl. spoons of olive oil.




Step 2
Cut your steak into thin strips, and cover them in salt pepper and olive oil




Step 3
Shred the Provolone


Step 4
Grill the steak on high heat and melt the cheese on top once they are cooked





Step 5
Pour some balsamic vinegar in the pan with onions and put them on the baguette








Step 6
Put the steak on top of the onions and and cover it in arugala




Step7
Drizzle some mustard on top and close it up






Bam!



The verdict:

Jackie - Fresh cheese, fresh meat, fresh bread, fresh rocket. What else could I possibly ask for? Maybe a chair with a back on it and a cushion perhaps? The negative amount of money I contributed to the night must go somewhere.

Paul - Definitely the badass cousin of the traditional philly cheese steak family. super easy to make, minimal ingredients, and super tasty. It probably would've tasted better if i ate it IN Phillidelphia though.

Jordan - Super simple + super delicious = Mega kickass! This sandwich only took us about 15 minutes to make and I was the only one who was able to finish mine, not a bad meal for 3 and it definitely classes up the traditional sandwich recipe. In my opinion the second best sandwhich I ever ate (the best was a bbq duck clubhouse)

Bonus:

Well we were making this excellent meal we were entertained by the sounds of Casius as remixed by Don Diablo. This litte number has a real poppy upbeat sound that makes you just want to dance. I played it out the other night and it murdered the dancefloor don't sleep on this track I predict it will be another one of this winters anthems.
