There is nothing like Roast Beef Sandwiches made with this roast beef recipe, slathered with creamy balsamic horseradish sauce, long shaves of parmesan cheese, and crisp lettuce on a crusty baguette.
You can make and serve beef roast for special dinner or the holidays and then serve sandwiches the next day. Everyone will be happy with these fancy leftovers.
This is a sandwich to remember, simple yet so complex and special...
How To Make A Roast Beef Sandwich?
It begins with things you like on your sandwich. I keep it simple, a fresh baguette, good roast beef (more on that later), a creamy spread, crisp lettuce like romaine, and shaved parmesan.
Here are options to design your own the way you like it, or to use things you might have on hand.
- Roast Beef
- Horseradish Sauce
- Shaved parmesan cheese
- Tomato slices
- Honey, Dijon, or yellow mustard
- Caramelized onions
- Sliced red onion
- Pickled onions
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Lettuce
- Whipped or Regular Cream cheese
- Freshly grated horseradish (or you can use prepared in a jar)
- Fresh basil chiffonade
- Cheese slices - Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Havarti, etc.
Homemade Roast Beef
You can take a look at my entire recipe to make roast beef at home.
What Kind Of Beef Is Best?
PRO TIP: You can splurge and get a center-cut beef tenderloin roast, also called a filet of beef, or filet roast, that runs around $22 per pound. But I found a less expensive option…New York Strip Steak!
New York Strip steak tied into a roast by the butcher is a cost-effective option for this recipe and is amazing. It’s up to you, I found that the strip steak was well priced and just as delicious!
- New York Strip Steak Benefits – cost-effective, tender, and full of flavor
- Filet Tenderloin Benefits – more expensive, very tender, a premium cut
PRO TIP: Use a vegetable peeler to "shave" thin pieces of good parmesan cheese.
Bread Options
- Ciabatta
- French Baguette
- Sourdough
- Kaisar
- Croissant
- Rustic Artisan
Should I Make Or Buy Roast Beef?
Buy or Make it, your choice.
But homemade roast beef is incredible, and can be both a dinner one night and sandwiches the next!
