Cold Roast Beef Sandwich Recipes

ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the onion and 1 tablespoon of the salt. Set aside for 20 minutes. Rinse the onions with cold running water. Drain and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Combine the onions and the vinegar and marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, zest, and 2 teaspoons salt. Season generously with pepper and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate the horseradish sauce for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Using your hands, shallowly scoop out the inside of each half. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and arrange scooped-side up. Toast the rolls under the broiler for about 1 minute. Slather the inside of the rolls with the horseradish sauce. On each of the roll bottoms, layer 2 tomato slices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top the tomatoes with some of the roast beef overlapped into "ruffles" and season with salt and pepper. Top the meat with some of the onions and watercress and cover with the tops of the roll. Serve immediately.

COLD ROAST BEEF SANDWICH WITH HORSERADISH CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, horseradish, worcestershire sauce, chives, kosher salt and pepper. Use the back of a fork to mash the ingredients together into a creamy paste. Set aside.
• Slice the boule in into two halves (top and bottom). Divide the cream cheese spread evenly over both halves.
• Add the arugula to the bottom half of the bread and top with roast beef, onions and tomatoes.
• Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich. Use a very sharp knife to slice the sandwich into 8 wedges and serve.
• Assemble the sandwich and wrap it tightly in foil. Place a flat cutting board (or other flat surface) on top of the sandwich and weight it down with a cast iron pan or other heavy object to press the sandwich together. Let the sandwich rest with the weight on it for 20-30 minutes.
• Pack the well wrapped (and flattened) sandwich in a cooler. When you're ready to serve, use a very sharp knife to cut the sandwich into 8 wedges. Serve.
