Simple and Savory I love an easy weeknight meal and these Asian Steak Sub Sandwiches are no exception. These sub sandwiches use an Asian inspired marinade and shaved steak that I always buy from Aldi. The brand is called Old Neighborhood Shaved Steak and I have been buying it there for years. What I like most about this shaved steak is that it marinates quickly and cooks even quicker. I am always sure to have a few packages on hand in the freezer for easy meals like this.
