  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or Tamari
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. granulated garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a bit of heat
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Method
 

For The Marinade:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
  2. Add the brown sugar and stir until it is fully dissolved.
  3. Stir in the garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Place your beef (ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced) into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  5. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  6. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for more intense flavour.
To Prepare The Philly Cheese Steaks
  1. In a skillet or on the griddle, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Cook the beef until it is browned, about 4-5 minutes
  4. Heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Sauce the onions and peppers until soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Blend the beef, onions and peppers together and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Toast up some hoagie buns and then add the beef, cheese and some of the beef au jus over top and enjoy!
