    Tex-Mex Steak Sandwich Recipe - Home Chef (2)

    Cheesesteaks come from Philly, right? Like the Fresh Prince and the Liberty Bell, it’s a tradition and a staple, not to be messed with. But here comes big bad Texas, and what does Texas do… it messes with stuff. Thankfully, this messed-with sandwich came out better than before, with a chile-cumin rub and cilantro boosting its flavors for the better. We're so glad that this sandwich got in one little fight, and its Mom got scared, and said…. Wait, that's not how the song goes. Tip: Getting hip to the sticks: halve your potato, then place cut side down. Slice lengthwise into 1/4" slices, then stack half the potato slices and cut again to 1/4" slices.
