Making a Cheesesteak

2012-03-15

Making a cheesesteak tonight. Problems so far: Can’t find the buns? Am I looking for baguettes? I hope so because that’s what I have. What is provolone cheese? Google’d it, couldn’t spell it, found a picture, had a terrible time finding it. Why isn’t cheese grouped by type at Safeway? What is a “cheap” steak? No idea what types are cheap or what good prices are. Is there a difference between onion soup and french onion soup? I hope not, because in the end I just bought onion soup. Am I supposed to use white or red onions? I feel like most of the time they use white, but I think I like red more? Not sure, got red. What temperature (well actually, what setting?) should my stove be at to simmer something? We’ll find out I guess… Broil? Okay, I think I have to put my oven rack to the top shelf, and not pre-heat the oven? I read about this for half an hour yesterday, I should know by now…
