Important Notes
Partially freezing your steak before slicing makes it much easier to get paper-thin, deli-style slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.
Wrapping the finished cheesesteak tightly in aluminum foil or sandwich paper for 5 minutes before slicing compresses the sandwich, melts the cheese further, and softens the bread slightly with steam.
High-moisture fillings can make bread soggy; brush the inside of toasted rolls with oil, melted butter, or tallow to create a moisture barrier.
Homemade cheese sauce can be stabilized using sodium citrate, which allows hard cheeses to melt smoothly into a creamy sauce without breaking or turning greasy.
