Ingredients
- 1 pound deli-style roast beef (sliced thin)
- 4 pieces soft sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional, sliced)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, prepared horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of water and heat until it begins to steam. Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced roast beef, separating the slices gently with tongs to ensure even heating. Cover and let warm for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook to avoid toughening the meat.
Step 3
While the roast beef is warming, slice the sandwich buns in half, and butter the cut sides. Toast the buttered sides on a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until golden and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
If using cheese, place a slice on each bun's bottom half while still warm to allow it to melt slightly.
Step 5
Once heated, divide the roast beef evenly among the bottom halves of the sandwich buns. Pile the beef high for a classic gourmet presentation.
Step 6
Top the roast beef with a generous dollop of the prepared sauce.
Step 7
Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches and serve immediately while warm. Pair with chips, fries, or your favorite side dish.
