Spinaker's Steak and Cheese Samies

Hey Finster,
Yes Exactly! I love that place, though they don't have the widest selection, especially of prime cuts.

Has been a long time since I was in there.
Years ago, when first married, and money was tight, we would go there because we could stock up on good, not great, quality meats at a good price...

Looks great! Mebbe a Blackstone in my future?

One question: Approximate weight of cheese for 4.5 pounds of meat?

Thanks.

Oh, that is a good question.......to be honest I am not sure, but I would guess a pound of cheese, at least. I put in about 12 slices between the two types of cheese I use.

Just like salt in a recipe, sometimes you have to fine tune what works for you.

Thanks! I understand the "fine tuning" idea--just looking for a starting point.

[Spinaker]

Yep, I hear ya! And the great thing is, you get to do it with steak samies. Willy

FYI- I just found that Wild Fork offers "beef shaved steak" @ $6.98/ pound that they tout as "perfect for cheesesteaks". They aren’t clear on what cut of steak it’s shaved from though. Just sharing as an option for the beef for sammies. I’ll give it a try with my next order from them. 🤷‍♂️

Gonna fire these up on Friday. I am making both steak and chicken sammies this time. I am planning on using the same method for both sandwiches.

I will post the chicken and steak results after the cook. I have a griddle that I am restoring, so this will be a great first cook on the new top.

I was thinking of frying up some fresh cut fries to go along with it.

On Friday? I think I can make it in time for a sammie and some fries.
