# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of three cheeses creates this ridiculous gooey factor that keeps everyone coming back for seconds
  • You get all those classic cheesesteak flavors without needing any special equipment or hours of prep time
02 -
  • Overloading the toppings seems tempting but it leads to a soggy middle, respect the ingredient ratios
  • Letting the meat rest before slicing makes such a difference in texture, five minutes patience pays off
03 -
  • Freeze your steak for 20 minutes before slicing to get paper thin strips without any fancy knife skills
  • Pre cook your vegetables longer than you think you need to, they will not cook much once they hit the cheese
