Demi Glaze
The glaze features an orangish hue and gravy-like consistency, perfect for beef cheesesteaks. Its viscosity facilitates easy mixing on the grill. Oily and rich in umami, it enhances the cheesesteak, akin to pot roast drippings. A mild gritty feel when cold won't affect its flavor when heated.

Pairs with: Cheese Steak -
Italian Vinegar Peppers
Spicy with signature Jersey Mike’s flavor of peppers, vinegar and more; heat is controlled and not upfront. Heat remains even with juice. Complex, signature Gardinera Mayo sauce with pepper strips, vinegar, and mayo. Works well on Philly or Chicken Cheesesteaks, but better on cold builds. Nice salty kick; spreads well on bread.

Hibiscus Habanero Mayo
The hibiscus and habanero mixture contains about two ounces of mayonnaise and one teaspoon of habanero hibiscus. It has a medium purple color with visible granules.
