Serve this sandwich with Chipotle Mayo Roasted Potato Wedges! One of the great joys of a holiday meal or roast dinner is pulling out the leftovers the next day. There are many ways to turn one meal into so many more, each more interesting and exotic than the last!
But when it comes to lunch the next day, all I really want is a seriously good sandwich. And for that, it’s hard to beat beautiful roast beef!
Why you’ll love it
Roast beef has a rich, savoury flavour and when thinly sliced carries beautiful moisture and depth along with it. It creates the perfect foundation for layering other flavours to make an interesting, satisfying sandwich. For this hot roast beef sandwich, I’ve added caramelised onions and peppery arugula, along with stunning marinated red peppers. A creamy sauce made of mayonnaise, garlic and horseradish pulls it all together.
Top the whole thing with a creamy melted cheese and you have a sandwich to remember! Choose your favourite cheese as almost anything will do. I used Edam because I love how it melts.
What you’ll need
I find that roast beef can be a bit chewy in a sandwich if it isn’t thinly sliced. There are specialised tools for cutting thin slices, but a good, well sharpened knife will do the job as well. For perfectly melted cheese on a sandwich like this, I prefer to place it in a preheated oven under the broiler. The cheese will melt in just a couple of minutes. An air fryer will do a great job as well.
