Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bavarian roast beef — Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Emmental cheese — For a more pronounced Bavarian flavor, you can substitute Emmental with Bavarian Bergkäse or Allgäuer Emmentaler.

Tips & Tricks

• To add a Bavarian touch, you can spread a thin layer of sweet mustard on the rolls before assembling the cheesesteaks.
• For extra flavor, you can sauté the onions with a splash of Bavarian beer.
• If you prefer a spicier version, sprinkle some Bavarian mustard or horseradish on top of the melted cheese.
• Feel free to add sliced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sautéed onions for added texture and flavor.
• Serve the Bavarian cheesesteaks with a side of tangy sauerkraut for an authentic Bavarian experience.

Serving advice

Serve the Bavarian cheesesteaks hot, straight from the oven. They pair perfectly with a side of crispy Bavarian potato wedges or a fresh green salad.

Presentation advice

To present the Bavarian cheesesteaks beautifully, cut them in half diagonally and arrange them on a wooden cutting board. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
