Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 to 2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 filet mignons, 12 to 16 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 soft Italian rolls, split and grilled

Toppings:

Grilled yellow and red onions, coarsely chopped
Grilled mushrooms, sliced
Grilled green peppers, sliced
Grilled Cubano peppers, sliced

Directions

Preheat grill to high. Melt butter in a medium saucepan on top of the grates of the grill. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk and cook until thickened. Whisk in the cheese and cook until melted. Add dry mustard and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Brush filets with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for rare, which is desired for this sandwich. Let rest for 5 minutes and then slice into 1/8-inch thick slices.

Slice 7/8 of the way through the rolls and fill each with several slices of the beef, cheese sauce, and any or all of the toppings. Return sandwiches to the grill, close top, and grill very briefly just to heat through.

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Who cares about "authentic" Philly? This is better than paper thin pan fried steak with canned cheese. Get real people.

Who cares if its not AUTHENTIC "PHILLY CHEESE STEAK"?!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Why is everyone complaining about not being an AUTHENTIC philly cheese steak?? I don't think bobby was trying to make it... AUTHENTIC? ... This is just HIS version and I thought was VERY GOOD!!! NOW, as far as using "filet mignon", thats MY COMPLAINT!!! I know that EXPENSIVE can be better, but when you DON'T have the money, you must SUBSTITUTE with what you CAN afford !!! I think using mignon is a little EXTREME and the food network should REALIZE that not "EVERYONE" HAS MONEY and they should SUGGEST using other CHEAPER INGREDIENTS, instead of the MOST EXPENSIVE out there!!!!!!Read more

Not authentic but still delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I devoured this sandwich in about 5 minutes. The tenderness of the filet combined with the cheese sauce and crunchy... vegetables made for a satisfying meal. I made the cheese sauce indoors and had to cook the milk for longer than I expected to get it thickened. Once I added the cheese, the sauce thickened even more. My husband insists this is not authentic but he still really liked it. We'd make this again.Read more

NOT Authentic
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This may be a tasty sandwich, but an authentic Philadelphia PA style cheese steak it is NOT. I think he's trying to make... cheese sauce- which would just be Cheese Whiz. I don't care for Whiz on my sandwiches, I prefer American or Provolone- but a sauce made with flour??? NO WAY!Read more

Cheese Whiz, too
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this exactly as instructed; however, I did smear a little Cheese Whiz on one side of the bun. We absolutely loved it!
