Has anyone used the shaved beef from TJ's?

I used to buy shaved beef...

for making steak subs. I haven't done that since the kids left home!
TJ's wasn't in business, at least on this coast way back then, so I have not tried their brand.

 
Is it anything else than shaved (aka very thinly sliced) beef?

I buy shaved ham at the deli for sandwiches all the time. And beef sliced very thin but not necessarily shaved.

 
Not to beat a dead horse, totally raw--or rare. How is it

sold? Is it meant for carpaccio? Just trying to get an idea. We unfortunately have no TJ's.

 
Raw as in uncooked. It's packaged and displayed in the meat secton...

...with the steaks, pork, chicken, and lamb. I've never seen this at a regular grocery store like Jewel, Dominick's, Alberston's, Giant, or Safeway (I'm trying to think of grocery stores around the nation).

 
The local Pho restaurant has thinly shaved beef (raw) as an add in for Pho. (more)

The soup is piping hot and they bring you a plate of the thinly, very thinly sliced beef and you slide it in and let it steep-cook in the hot broth. Mmmmm, good!

 
I love Pho soup...wish there was a place to get it in northwest suburban Chicago.

My parents have a great place near their house in Northern Virginia.

 
Possibly. That might be a good use for it. We can't get good Philly

steak sandwiches here in Chicago (just Italian beef, which just ain't the same). We always make our own sandwiches, so this might be good for that.

 
It's a Vietnamese soup. You start with a broth, then add vegetables, noodles, and/or meat.

Other flavorings can be added as well. It comes in a great big bowl--it's the most fabulous meal. Very inexpensive, too. Each restaurant will have something like 20 variations of this soup. I first had it about ten years ago in Northern Virginia, where my parents live. There are lots of different Pho restaurants in their area. None by me, sadly, although there are probably some in Chicago.
