My favorite was invented by a friend of mine as far as I know. It’s a modified cheesesteak. Like a Tex Mex cheesesteak I guess.
Start by smoking a prime rib. The method is outside the scope of this discussion but I’ll happily share another time. Slice it super thin, season with SPG and cumin. We don’t smoke a prime rib just for the sandwiches, but we always have them when we have leftovers.
Separately, make some smoked queso. Again, this is outside the scope but don’t just do Velveeta and Rotel, make a bechamel sauce add your cheeses, and use fresh tomatoes and peppers, then pop the pan on the smoker to get the smokey flavors infused.
Pop some butter, onions, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and mushrooms in a pan to saute. Once they’ve softened add the thin slices of smoked rib roast and cook for another minute or two.
Put the mixture on a toasted hoagie roll and cover liberally with smoked queso and a sprinkle of grated Oaxacan cheese. Enjoy your delicious heart attack.
Note: this can be done the poor man’s way with cheaper or easier cuts of beef (try it with a chuck eye steak which is several dollars per pound cheaper) or chicken, and can be done with Velveeta and Rotel queso that more people are familiar with. You’ll get no judgement from me. I just love it a specific way and wanted to share.
I dual boot fedora with plasma (it has all my laptop drivers without me having to install anything) with Windows and it’s pretty great, but I was out of Linux for a long time and there’s things I don’t remember. So I’m missing stuff and don’t have the time to relearn what I knew 20 years ago.
It works well enough for day to day tasks and dev work. Windows works well enough to run some games.
