Acceptable Sides/condiments: Anything as long as it sounds, looks and tastes amazing. Traditional add ons: Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Bacon, Onion Rings, Pizza Sauce.

Variations on the traditional: Pizza Steak, Cheesesteak Hoagie, Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak, Bacon Cheesesteaks, Plain steaks.

Exceptions are allowed, but could be subjected to removal at any time by mods, dont like it call a wahhhmbulance.

When posting you must list where the steak came from, or if it was homemade the recipe used to make it. If not the post will be removed. We want real, findable examples of great cheesesteaks in this subreddit, not karma whores looking to post someone else's photo.

Posting anything from Geno's or Pat's Steaks will result in an instaban, these are not authentic philly cheesesteaks, they are tourist traps and also a ripoff. They have been disgracing the Philly cheesesteak for too long.
