    Recipe FAQs

    What is the best cut of beef for this recipe?

    I prefer to use top sirloin because it doesn't require much time in cooking. However, you can use any cut you like as long as it will cook fast.

    What are the topping options for this sandwich?

    Ketchup or mayonnaise will be a good toppings option for this sandwich.

    What other types of cheese can I use in this recipe?

    Mozzarella is a good choice because it melts quickly. However, you can use Edam, Gouda, or Cheddar; all are good choices.
