Sautéing Recipe

Some days, nothing short of a Veal Cheesesteak will do, so feast your appetite on this classic sub filled with layers of thinly shaved, tender and seasoned veal covered in melted provolone and perfectly charred peppers and onions. One batch is ready in just 30 minutes and serves eight.

This recipe calls for thinly shaved veal top round, which isn’t always easy to find. You can talk to a butcher about finding a top round or about thinly shaving some for you. You could also just veal cutlets and cut them into strips! It is the same cut of meat. Remember not to over crowd your pan when you are cooking the veal.

This recipe was developed by the students and faculty of The Art Institute of Philadelphia. You might also want to try another twist on this classic with our Milanese Philly Cheesesteak!
