Philly Cheez Steak Sandwich

This past Tuesday was Philadelphia Eagles' recipe, Philly Cheez Steak Sandwich. I think I would say this is one of my favorites so far! Easy and so goooooood!
It has:
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 1 lb. Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and thinly sliced
- 8 oz. Cheez Whiz or other processed cheese spread
- 2 lb. rib-eye steak, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Italian or hoagie rolls

*Rather than using rib-eye steak (due to costs) I went with eye-of-round. Which worked very well, and cost $4 rather than $10.
*Also, I would get one more jalapeno, as well as one or two more onions.

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles and cooked for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized. (Yum!) Remove the onions and chiles mixture to a bowl and stir in the Cheez Whiz.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned and to desired doneness. (Doneness, I think I'll be using this word now. haha).
*It says it's enough for 4 servings, but it's really 6.
This was a very easy meal! One I can see myself doing quite often.
Bon appetit!

(As I was making this, I was singing in my head the Fresh Prince theme song. #Classic)
