KIWAMI BRISKET BEER CHEESE STEAK

Cooking Time: 1.5 Hours

  •  2 8 oz Packs of Kiwami Brisket Korean BBQ Slices (linked below)
  • 3 Italian Hoagie Rolls
  • 2 Onions ( I recommend Yellow or Sweet )
  • 8 oz (0.50 lb) of your choice of cheese
  • 4 oz Beer
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sodium Citrate
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • (Optional) Water

 Caramelized Onions

  1. Slice Onion
  2. Melt unsalted butter in pan
  3. Add sliced onions and cook down at medium/low heat for about 10 minutes.  Make sure to keep the onions moving so they dont burn.
  4. Add salt and continue to cook down for another 15-20 minutes.  If the onions start to look dry you can turn down the heat a bit.
  5. At this point, you can continue caramelizing them to your preference.  You can add a little bit of water if the pan starts building up to deglaze.  The onions will absorb the water.  I prefer mine very caramelized which can take up to an hour.

Beer Cheese Sauce

  1. Grate cheese
  2. Combine beer and sodium citrate in a sauce pan on low heat
  3. Once liquid is warm, slowly add in grated cheese and whisk until its fully melted.  Repeat until all the cheese has been added.
  4. You can add more beer to thin out the sauce to your preference.

Notes:  If you want to make more cheese sauce the main calculation for this is:

  • 2 parts cheese
  • 1 part liquid
  • 2-3% of sodium citrate
  • Example:  8 oz cheese + 4 oz beer = 12 oz x 0.02 = 0.24 oz (1.44 teaspoons)

Cheese Steak Sandwich! 

  1. Heat Italian Hoagie Roll in 350f oven for about 10 minutes.
    •  Note:  If you slightly wet a paper towel and wipe your breads surface you can keep the outside from being too dry while making sure the inside is super warm.  
  2. Cook Brisket in a skillet on medium heat.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.  Add onions and a portion of the cheese sauce and mix.
  4. Slice into roll and stuff with brisket
    • Note:  If you want to overstuff it, you can pull out some of the bread in the inside to form a bigger cavity to fill
  5. Top with leftover cheese sauce

Enjoy!
