Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak
Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak, Patti is originally from Philly where cheese steaks are a staple. But, she always felt something was missing: meat! So, Friday night we fixed that big time. We also put the cheese on the inside with minced garlic. It worked great. Patti remembered onions and peppers, too; goodies we got from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. Thanks Engle Farms. The next day we used the leftovers for big meaty sandwiches.Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Memphis Elite Wood Fire Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood pellet patio heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Directions: Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak
Cut a large pocket into the side of sirloin reaching as far as you can. You want to try to keep the opening cut as small as possible, just large enough to allow stuffing. Stuff the pocket alternately with cheese and garlic. Sprinkle generously with Memphis Smokehouse Steak Seasoning and rub it into the meat. (Note) It is easier to fold or roll the cheese slices up for stuffing.

Cooking Directions: Memphis Wood Fire Pellet Grill/Smoker
Open the lid and set the ITC (Intelligent Temperature Control) to “180” degrees (84c). After about five minutes you can shut the lid. Give it a few minutes to heat up.
Place everything directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so. This is referred to as “Smoking” or “Hot Smoking”, the temperature is 180 degrees (84c). 30 minutes of smoking is not enough to have any cooking effect on your meat but it is enough to open the pores so that the meat can pick up all the flavor of the smoke. We like to use oak pellets for beef.
After 30 minutes, turn the ITC (Intelligent Temperature Control) up to 350 degrees (174c) and pull the meat off the grill. Now you can cook your sides and pick up all the wood fired flavor from the grill. I did an ½ hour here at 350 (174c). Then pulled my sides and set the ITC (Intelligent Temperature Control) to 450 degrees (230c).
When the grill comes up to temperature put your meat back onto the grill. I did this for 8 minutes per side with a quarter turn at the 4 minute mark. Perfect.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees, anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.
