Most steak sandwiches are smothered with caramelized onion. If you are an onion lover, feel free to add them. I choose sauteed mushrooms instead. Mushrooms and steak also pair very well together, then topped with provolone, these three key ingredients will make this steak sandwich one to remember.

What type of steak is best for steak sandwiches?
I opted to use shaved beef, which is already thinly sliced, making it super quick to prepare this sandwich. You can also use NY strip, sirloin, rib eye or skirt steak.
If you choose to go with steak you have to cut, make sure to slice the steak against the grain thinly. This will make the steak easier to bite through the sandwich.
