Philly cheesesteak

United States · North America

Short description: This sandwich packs griddled beef and melted cheese into a soft roll for a messy counter-style meal.
Ingredients: A long roll filled with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, griddled onions, oil, salt, and pepper.
Cultural note: The usual debate is less about complexity and more about cheese choice, onions, and the right roll texture.
Common misconception: It is not a steakhouse sandwich with a whole steak; the beef is sliced thin and cooked on a griddle.
