Fugazi's porcini-rubbed prime rib cheesesteak combines tender, high-quality beef with an earthy umami crust from dried porcini seasoning. It's a refined take on a classic sandwich that stands out for its sophisticated flavor profile and quality ingredients.
Refrigerate leftover sandwich wrapped in foil; reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Prepare the rub and slice beef a day ahead.
Dried porcini mushrooms are finely ground into the rub, adding concentrated umami and earthy depth that enhances beef's natural savory notes.
Provolone or American cheese are traditional choices; both melt evenly and complement beef without overpowering the porcini rub.
Yes. Use high-quality ribeye or strip steak sliced thin. Prime rib works but is expensive for a sandwich—ribeye delivers similar tenderness at lower cost.
Pat the beef dry first, then press the rub firmly into the surface. Let it sit 15-30 minutes before cooking so it adheres during searing.
