Editing Cheesesteak (section)

== Authentic Ingredients ==

An authentic Philadelphia cheesesteak consists of:

* '''Thinly sliced or chopped ribeye beef''' - cooked on a flat-top griddle
* '''Melted cheese''' - typically Cheez Whiz, American, or provolone
* '''A long Italian roll''' - traditionally from Amoroso's or similar Philadelphia bakeries
* '''Optional fried onions'''

That's it. An authentic cheesesteak does '''not''' include:
* Bell peppers (despite what you may see outside Philadelphia)
* Lettuce, tomato, or mayonnaise
* Mushrooms (available as an add-on at some shops, but not traditional)

The simplicity is intentional. The focus is on the quality of the meat, the melted cheese, and the bread that holds it together.
