Pioneer Woman Roast Beef Sandwich Recipe Ingredients
- 4 kaiser buns, sliced in half widthwise
- 1 cup arugula leaves
- 4 slices aged cheddar cheese
- ½ cup creamy horseradish sauce
- 1 pound of thinly sliced roast beef
- ½ cup micro greens
- 4 thinly sliced radishes
- ½ peeled and thinly sliced red onions
- 1 thinly sliced tomato
How To Make Pioneer Woman Roast Beef Sandwiches
- Prepare the Buns: Slice the Kaiser buns in half horizontally.
- Layer the Bottoms: On the bottom half of each bun, place a layer of arugula leaves, followed by a slice of aged cheddar cheese.
- Add the Sauce: Spread the creamy horseradish sauce over the cheese. The arugula and cheese will help create a barrier to keep the bun from getting soggy.
- Pile on the Beef: Generously stack the thinly sliced roast beef on top of the sauce.
- Add Toppings: Top the beef with a layer of microgreens, followed by the thinly sliced radishes, red onions, and tomato slices.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- How to slice roast beef thinly? For the best results, use a very sharp knife, a mandoline slicer, or a meat slicer. Thinly sliced deli-style roast beef is ideal for this sandwich.
- How do I prevent a soggy sandwich? The key is in the layering. By placing the arugula and a slice of cheese on the bottom bun first, you create a moisture barrier that protects the bread from the horseradish sauce and tomato juices.
- What’s the best cheese for a roast beef sandwich? Aged cheddar provides a great sharp flavor, but other excellent choices include blue cheese, provolone, Gouda, Fontina, or Swiss cheese.
- Can I make this sandwich ahead of time? It’s best to assemble the sandwich right before serving. However, you can prepare all the ingredients (slice the vegetables, mix the sauce) up to 2 days ahead and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for a quick assembly.
What To Serve With Roast Beef Sandwiches
This hearty deli-style sandwich is a meal in itself, but it pairs wonderfully with classic sides:
- Kettle-cooked potato chips
- A cup of tomato soup or French onion soup
- A crisp dill pickle spear
- Creamy potato salad or coleslaw
How To Store Roast Beef Sandwiches
Store: An assembled sandwich does not store well. To save ingredients for later, store the toppings, bread, horseradish sauce, and beef separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
