Red and Amish Blue Cheesesteak

We customized this Philly-fave with Amish blue cheese and a red wine reduction. You can do it, too.

What you need:

1 Vidalia onion (other types work, too)

2 tbs of butter (we used Earth Balance, so our sauce was vegan)

3/4 cup beef broth

1/2 cup red wine (we used a $6 Cabernet)

1/2 cup blue cheese (ours was Amish)

Panko bread crumbs

1 steak hoagie, just steak and roll

What to do:

How to chop

Chop onion in thin slices. Cut one tablespoon butter and add to saucepan over medium high heat. Melt and add onions, cooking until tender (about three minutes).
Add broth

Add broth and wine, increase heat to boil and leave to reduce (in other words, allow the mixture to boil, stirring occasionally, until it decreases in volume to about 1/2 cup). Remove from heat.
Reduction
Amish Blue Cheese

In a small bowl, combine blue cheese and bread crumbs — anywhere from 1/2 cup to a cup should do
Panko and Blue Cheese crumble

Using your fingers, mix the cheese and crumbs until you’ve created a crumble (see photo). Set aside.
Abner's Arrives

Call your favorite pizza place. Order a steak hoagie — like a cheesesteak, without cheese. We went delivery, but if you want to pick up, now is the time to go. Set oven to broil. Prepare baking sheet.
add butter to reduction

Add remaining butter to a skillet (or back into the saucepan), add reduction, stir and let boil about two minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to burn, and remove from heat.
undo for the redo

Remove steak from the sandwich and place on one half of the baking sheet. Set the open hoagie roll on the other half of the sheet.
Apply crumble

Sprinkle steak with crumble. Broil about two minutes, remove and replace steak in roll. Add sauce.
You're so Philadelphia, but you're you. Get it?
