TIPS AND TRICKS:  

• Thinly Sliced Steak:  If you can't find shaved beef you can use your favorite steak.  You just need to make sure it is very thinly sliced.  To make slicing the steak easier, pop it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before slicing.  The firms up the meat, allowing for thinner slices.  
• Cheese Options:  Provolone is a classic choice, but you can swap it out for cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.  
• Bread Choice:  Hoagie Rolls are traditional, but feel free to use whatever crusty bread you prefer.  
• Make it Spicy:  Add a kick by mixing a but sriracha or hot sauce into your mayo sprinkling red pepper flakes over the steak.
