Beef/ Sandwiches & Such

Prime Rib Philly

Deli meat and I have been BFF’s since 2008 when I had gastric bypass.  Ham, turkey, roast beef…they are all regular guests in my refrigerator deli drawer.  But then this was brought to my attention.

Picture

Yes, you saw that correctly, deli sliced PRIME RIB.  We all know prime rib is one of the best forms of cow on the plate.   Now it was going to be the best form of sliced deli meat on a roll.I had sliced Swiss in one hand and prime rib in another and you know that onions and mushrooms were not going to be far behind.  Viola, the prime rib Philly was born.I jazzed up some canned beef broth with fresh-from-my-herb-garden thyme and sage. Then I tossed in some onions and garlic to make a nice au jus to dip the deli meat into before applying cheese.  Popping them under the broiler to get all nice and toasty was next.  Once the cheese melted and the bun toasted, I applied the sautéed veggies and heaven was created.Confession: I made the sandwiches, had my photo shoot, then, I fed El, Jim, and Schy.  I was too full from sampling the meat and veggies to join them in eating.  I left my tiny portion off to the side for about 2 hours.  It just waited patiently for me and when I finally came for it cold, it was still fantastic.

      I’ve never been to Philly, but I want to. Amish country is the closest I ever got. Lancaster and Hershey.

    My husband was just saying he wanted me to make a philly cheesesteak soon–and given his love of prime rib, he will flip for these!
