- Soy sauce — Use a high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor.
- Mirin — If you can't find mirin, you can substitute with a mixture of rice vinegar and sugar.
Tips & Tricks
- To make the beef easier to slice, freeze it for 30 minutes before slicing.
- If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add some sliced jalapenos or sriracha sauce to the beef mixture.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat hoagie rolls and low-fat cheese.
