Instructions

  1. 1
    Prepare ribeye: Freeze 14 oz (400g) ribeye or hip steak for 30 minutes (semi-frozen cuts paper-thin easily). Slice paper-thin with a very sharp knife or meat slicer — this is the only way for authentic Philly Cheesesteak. Alternatively: have your butcher slice it thin.
  2. 2
    Caramelize onions: Slice 2 large onions into paper-thin rings. In a pan with 2 tbsp cannabis oil on medium heat, slowly caramelize for 15–20 minutes — stir patiently. They should be golden-brown and soft, not burnt. Optional: sauté green bell peppers and mushrooms together.
  3. 3
    Meat on the griddle: High heat in a cast-iron skillet or on a griddle. Cook meat strips in batches — never too much at once or they'll steam instead of sear. Use a spatula to chop into smaller pieces while cooking. Salt and pepper. Total 2–3 minutes — Philly Cheesesteak is never well-done.
  4. 4
    Cheese sauce (Cheez Whiz-style): In a pot on low heat, melt 7 oz (200g) shredded cheddar or provolone, 3.4 fl oz (100ml) whole milk, 1 tbsp cannabis butter, and 1 tbsp flour into a smooth sauce. Season to taste. The sauce carries the cannabis in a bound, even distribution.
  5. 5
    Assemble: Cut a long hoagie or submarine roll in half, lightly toast the inside. Load with meat-and-onion mixture, drizzle cheese sauce generously on top. The roll will give way — authentic Philly is eaten with both hands and drips. Onset: 60–90 minutes.

Pro Tips

  • Blend cannabis butter evenly. Adjust dosage — better to start with less.
