Steak hoagies. A regional thing?
I was trying to find steak hoagie patties in my local grocery store the other day and nearly went mad going from store to store without success. This leads me to believe that these are a regional treat, since I everyone around here (Milwaukee) stares at me like I am from mars when I try to ask for these things.
What I was looking for is not the shaved beef like a philly steak sandwich, <---not this but rather more like an elongated hamburger patty, although it was not purely ground beef. These were available in SW Ohio known as Steak Sandwiches, but they were not really sirloin or strip steaks either. For what it's worth, There's a sandwich at Mac&Joes in Oxford, OH called "The Miami Tradition" that uses the kind of meat I'm looking for. They were definitely a ground meat mixture more the consistencey of salisbury, or chopped steak. Here's a picture of exactly what I'm talking about: So.... Does anybody here have a clue what I'm talking about, and more importantly, can you tell me what the meat mixture is, or even better, where I can get my hands on some? The thought of one of these babies on a nice tosted hoagie roll with provelone and marinara sauce has set me on this stupid quest and I won't be able to rest untill I find or find out about this stuff.

that looks breaded -- but is the meat a cubed steak? (that's what it's called in northern new jersey anyhow....

I'm from Illinois (although I live in Ohio now) and what you want is a 'poor boy steak'. A restaurant called 'Merichka's" in my home town served these sandwiches on hoagie buns lathered with garlic butter.
Oh my gods...I'm homesick! Either that or it's lunchtime.... |

Having lived in SoFL for a while now, I have never heard of "The Miami Tradition". Odds are that would be a Cuban, or Cuban beefsteak sandwich. But then, the marinara sauce throws it off (they don't use it - hot sauce, maybe?). I could be wrong, and wish you well on your search.

In California, restaurants do a lot with cube steak, which seems to be any cheap cut run through a mechanical tenderizer to the point where it's almost ground meat but still holds together. I've seen these sold as steak or beef parmigiana sandwiches (w/cheese, onions, and tomato sauce), somtimes at Italian restaurants or pizzerias, occasionally at locally-owned drive-ins. It's not a regional thing or cuisine, just something that you see here and there.

Never seen that in Colorado.
Here a hoagie's just another name for a sub. We do have Gyros, though.
