Tip: It's all about the bread make sure and get good Italian bread, we got a loaf of Italian bread from the bakery and had them slice it for us.

Here's what you'll need:

• Whatever type of meat you choose (We used like a cheese steak)
• Sweet onion
• Coleslaw (I'll include my recipe for a homemade delicious Coleslaw)
• Provolone Cheese
• French fries (Longer and Skinny ones work best)
• Sliced Tomatoes
• Good Italian Bread

Here's how it's done:

1. Cook meat and chopped onions in a saute pan, seasoning to your liking.
2. Get 2 pieces of bread, lay them open faced.
3. Put a piece of cheese on one piece of bread.
4. Put meat on top of cheese.
5. Pile coleslaw on top of meat, it's OK to be generous you can never have to much.
6. Lay 7-10 fries on top of coleslaw and add a slice of tomato if you would like to.

There you have it a homemade "genuine" © Primanti Bros sandwich.

The HOMEMADE                                   VS                                              The REAL deal
