The first time I had a homemade Philly cheesesteak was at my brother's house, when his wife made them for us. I've always loved the classic combination of roast beef, provolone, sauteed onions and peppers — but hers had one big difference: a provolone cheese sauce on the side.
When I went to assemble my sandwich and asked where the cheese was, she pointed to a little pot of white sauce. My eyes lit up, and I poured what felt like three cups of it all over my plate.
When I was looking for something a little different for lunches, that memory came right back to me — so I turned it into a wrap. With a wrap, you can focus more on the fillings and actually dip them into the sauce instead of just topping a sandwich with it.
Ingredients
For the Wraps
- 1/2 lb. thinly sliced deli roast beef (such as Boar's Head London Broil)
- 1 whole onion, sliced
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 flour tortilla wraps (burrito size)
For the Provolone Sauce
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 8 oz. provolone cheese, cut into small chunks
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
- 1Saute the beef in the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until browned and hot. Remove and set aside.
- 2Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and cook until tender.
- 3While the beef and vegetables cook, make the provolone sauce: melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in the flour, and cook 1 minute.
- 4Slowly whisk in the milk and cook about 10 minutes to thicken.
- 5Add the provolone and parmesan and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Spoon into small dishes for dipping.
- 6Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, until warm and flexible.
- 7Distribute the meat between the tortillas, top with the vegetables, and wrap tightly. Serve with the provolone sauce for dipping.
