Just call it a brown sauce steak sandwich. It looks good!

Proposal: we call all sandwiches sandwiches

LOL, reminded me of American Gangster when they had a problem with calling modified heroin Blue Magic :P

As a Philly native, I'd eat it.

Exactly. Is it "authentic"? No.

Is it delicious? Yes, it's steak and cheese, of course it's delicious.

(On a side note, English mustard is the bomb. Goes great in steak and cheese, burgers, hot dogs etc etc)

Yep, maybe with some onions and more cheese to get the profile closer. I'm interested in the mustard/brown sauce combo, though. Baguette looks like a great way to go.

Anything but Cheese Wiz! :P

On a vague memory of what a Philly Cheesesteak is, I decided to make this sandwich based on it. I used 20% fat Beef Mince, melted some mature cheddar on it, arranged it along the bagguette with brown sauce and english mustard added liberally on top. As I felt that the Cheddar wasn't visible enough I also lightly grated some on top. Is it authentic? hell no. Did it taste good? Yep.

There’s an amazing cheesesteak place in London that also does delivery kits if you ever crave an authentic one!

What is brown sauce?

6

xander012 OP t1_jaada45 wrote

It's a Date ketchup flavoured with tamarind and other spices. It's extremely vinegary and a little spicy from the tamarind and pepper that dominates the rest of the flavour. Pretty much the flavour nuke of british fast food as very few flavours can overpower it. Also quite useful for tempering the fire from English Mustard so that you can enjoy the flavour more.

That sounds delicious! Kind of like a citrus tinged barbecue sauce.

And the sandwich might not be traditional, but it still looks awesome!

Thank you. I didn’t realize British cuisine was so powerful

It’s super good with fatty meat’s especially like sausage. This is an American saying this so idk if that’s what it is properly used for but it’s good

xander012 OP t1_jaap4n1 wrote

Yeah you are spot on mate. Fatty meats are the perfect pairing for brown sauce

jpm1188 t1_jaasmc4 wrote

I typically have them with sausage rolls!

Honestly that sounds tastier than the traditional American tomato ketchup. I would love to try the aforementioned condiment fellow human

Look for HP sauce for the standard form

Supermichael777 t1_jacy3e9 wrote

In general the brown sauce is made with all the flavor boiled out of the other food.

...mostly correct? I'm Canadian so not an expert, but Worcestershire sauce is very different from both HP and A1.

itsamemarioscousin t1_jacfwb1 wrote

Yep, Worcestershire sauce is nearer to Thai fish sauce than it is to any of the other things mentioned there.

TooManyDraculas t1_jab47fo wrote

Chef is more popular in Ireland. There's also Yorkshire Relish and a couple other brands.

They're all related to Worcestershire sauce, but are not all that similar.

Japanese Tonkatsu Sauce is also very similar and closely related.

This is more similar to a chopped cheese or loose meat sandwich.

As goes American regional greasy foods.

Okay... apparently, I'm not fully awake yet (need another cuppa joe).

I read this as you making an italicized cheesesteak, and I was staring trying to figure out how the sandwich was slanted... 🙄🤦‍♂️

Looks legit, but I'd be willing to bet there's some Philly cats that would wanna beat your ass over this lol

I have never been a gatekeeper but sadly now I must become the thing I hate. My hometown is crying right now. Brown sauce and mustard and unmelted cheese...

However if you like it, enjoy.

…literally not a single item involved in this sandwich would be on a Philly cheesesteak.

This has zero to do with a Philly cheesesteak. Why even call it that? I am personally offended by this sandwich.

xander012 OP t1_jaciq4z wrote

Technically speaking I have only claimed inspiration, hence the fact philly cheesesteak is in quotations.

cyberdeath666 t1_jaaezii wrote

Apparently any beef with cheese in bread is a Philly cheesesteak now. No onions or peppers, and the bread is wrong, should be a hoagie. You made a random beef sandwich, not a “Philly Cheesesteak.” I’m sure it was good but you didn’t make an anglicized PC.

OP is having fun with a localized version of a really great sandwich. Unless your the mayor of Philadelphia - stop being an ass.

You’re right, my bad. Sorry, OP. My opinions aside, I would happily eat your sandwich

xander012 OP t1_jaaljdl wrote

Thank you for ignoring the fact that I put Philly Cheesesteak in quotation marks because I fully accepted it wasn't one, it's inspired by but made with ingredients I have and give a more traditionally English flavour. I'm out of Onions, and don't like peppers hence that they were not included.

SchwarzeHaufen t1_jaama3y wrote

I feel you missed the point, though I did point out my preference for bell peppers and onions to him as well. That said, only the onions are technically traditional, bell peppers would be a variant off of the original.
