The Philly Cheese Steak is a steak sandwich from Philadelphia and was invented there around 1930.

Ingredients for approx. 4 servings:

• 1 kg roast beef
• approx. 8 tbsp. olive oil
• Mushrooms
• 2-3 peppers
• 2 onions
• 1 courgette
• Spring onions
• Salt
• Pepper
• Spice mix Tuscany style, bought ready-made or mix yourself: 2 tbsp oregano, 2 tbsp rosemary, 2 tbsp sage, 2 tbsp thyme, 2 tbsp marjoram
• 500 ml milk
• 50 g butter
• 4 tbsp flour
• lots of cheddar cheese
• Bacon aioli, bought ready-made or make it yourself: approx. 125 ml mayonnaise, 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, 1 clove garlic chopped, salt, pepper, 2 strips bacon fried and finely chopped
• Sandwich bread – 30 cm

Preparation:

1. Roast the roast beef
   Preheat the oven: Electric oven: 175 °C / fan oven: 150 °C / gas: level 2
   Remove the tendons and skin from the meat, but leave the fat layer on for roasting.
   Cut into the fat layer a little, taking care not to cut into the meat.
   Rub the meat with salt and pepper. Heat approx. 2 – 3 tbsp. oil in a container and fry the roast beef vigorously on its own side for 5 – 6 minutes.
   Then place the roast beef in an open roasting tin in the preheated oven with the fat layer facing up. Insert a roast thermometer into the thickest part and roast for about 35 to 40 minutes.
   Baste the roast beef with the drippings every now and then and remove it from the oven when it is cooked to the desired doneness.
   Then wrap the roast beef in aluminium foil for about 10 minutes so that it does not lose so much juice when cut. Now you can cut the meat into thin slices.
2. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and season with the spice mixture, add 5-6 tbsp olive oil.
3. Cook the vegetables at 180 ° C for approx. 35 minutes.
4. Add all the ingredients for the bacon aioli to a container and blend.
5. Melt the butter in a saucepan.
   Add flour, when it turns brown add milk.
   Stir in the cheddar cheese and mix well.
6. Toast the sandwich bread
7. Top the sandwich:
8. Spread both halves of the bread with the bacon aioli.
9. Top with roast beef
10. Arrange the vegetables on top
