Philly Cheesesteak

This may not be an authentic cheesesteak, I’ve seen lots of arguments online with people defining what a REAL cheesesteak is, but this is how I like to have mine.  The best cut of meat to use for this recipe is trimmed flank steak and the tastiest cheese to use is Provolone.  It’s always a good idea to butter and toast the buns before loading them up with the juicy-cheesy deliciousness.
