In the end it turned out pretty good and thought I'd share the recipe in case someone wants to try it. While everyone whose tasted it likes it a lot and no one has offered any constructive criticism I believe it would be better if the salt content was reduced by a quarter or a half percent.
The reason say this is I prefer to warm the thinly sliced meat in beef boullion broth which has a good amount of salt in it. Also, if you gob a lot of cheese on it like I like to this can also add salt. Not that its overly salty but I do think its pushing things so I'd suggest reducing the salt a little.
