The Best Combination for Roast Beef Sandwich

A roast beef sandwich recipe featuring ready-made, deli roast beef, marbled rye, roasted red bell peppers, spinach, shallots and an easy horseradish roast beef sandwich spread to top it all off!

Poor deli roast beef. Sometimes it seems, of all the cold cuts – turkey, ham, bologna – poor roast beef is often left out in the cold. Ya know? Cause deli meats are refrigerated? All puns aside, you can turn deli roast beef into something truly amazing. Beef can stand up to some pretty loud flavors, meaning we can get pret-ty crazy when it comes to toppings for our roast beef sandwich recipe. In fact, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say this is a bit of a gourmet roast beef sandwich, but don't let that scare you off. It's the toppings that are going to make it fancy, not the technique.

THE BEST ROAST BEEF SANDWICH RECIPE IS ALL ABOUT THE TOPPINGS

Toppings like sweet roasted red bell peppers, fresh spinach, and spicy red onions are mostly what sets this roast beef sandwich recipe apart from the rest. We'll get to the sauce in just a moment. To make preparations easy on myself, rather than roasting, peeling and seeding my own red bell peppers, I simply buy a jar of roasted red peppers from the grocery store. You can usually find them in the international aisle with Greek, Italian or other imported items like hot peppers/tomatoes. I also buy the baby spinach washed and ready to use, and the red onion is all the only vegetable left in the prep department. And, unless you just love biting into huge hunks of onion, I'd suggest slicing those little lovelies as thinly as possible.

ROAST BEEF SANDWICH SPREAD

Like I was saying earlier, beef can stand up to some big flavors, and one big flavor that pairs particularly well with beef is horseradish. Every Christmas, I whip up a quick horseradish sauce for my beef tenderloin recipe and it is a stellar combination. I modified that horseradish sauce into a sandwich spread by simply adding a little mayonnaise.The horseradish sauce is just a simple mixture of prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, and sour cream, and it pretty much makes the whole sandwich. It takes less than 3 minutes to whip up, and it takes this sandwich completely to the next level!

All that's left is some fresh bakery bread. I like a good swirled rye for this roast beef sandwich, however, Sourdough or some bakery-style white bread would also be perfectly delicious.

Nothing too hard about that, right? Truly, I can't imagine a better use for deli roast beef: A gourmet roast beef sandwich recipe easily made at home, and one the whole family will love. Please, enjoy.
