America Is Responsible For These Iconic Steak Dishes
BY SARA KLIMEK
Delmonico Steak
While Delmonico's in New York City was responsible for creating many popular dishes of the mid-19th century, the restaurant's true standout is its steak.
The original cut of beef used in the dish is still debated. However, the Delmonico steak on the restaurant's menu today is an 18-ounce ribeye.
London Broil
Despite its name, the London broil originated in Philadelphia. The name was a way to make people think the cut was more sophisticated and high-end than it was.
Historically, the London broil was sourced from the cheapest cuts of the cow. It was cooked under the broiler and covered in a peppercorn crust.
Salisbury Steak
Often associated with TV dinners, Salisbury steak is somewhere between a hamburger and a meatloaf. However, the meat alone itself isn't the star of the dish.
Salisbury steak is covered with layers of succulent gravy and mushrooms and served with a pile of mashed potatoes to create a flavorful meal.
Philly Cheesesteak
Another dish from Philadelphia, the Philly cheesesteak is a sandwich brimming with meaty flavor. It's a portable dish that's also easy to eat on the go.
Traditionally, the sandwich is made with thinly sliced flank steak or sirloin topped with melted provolone cheese, bell peppers, and onions on a sub roll.
Steak And Eggs
Originally started by the Australians, the steak and eggs breakfast dish has become more associated with American culture over the years.
The best cut of steak to serve with eggs for breakfast is top sirloin, although you could also use filet mignon, ribeye, or strip steaks.
