Roast Beef Sandwich with Horseradish Cream

Two keys to a great roast beef sandwich are rare roast beef and good, crunchy, warm sourdough bread. We added some spicy horseradish cream to give it a kick.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

For the Horseradish Cream

1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt to taste

For the Sandwiches

1 fresh sourdough baguette, cut into 4 pieces, split lengthwise
1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced roast beef
12 slices ripe tomato (from 3 tomatoes)
4 romaine lettuce leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the horseradish cream: Using a mixer set on high speed, beat the heavy cream so it holds its shape, about 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in the sour cream, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Step 3

    Make the sandwiches: Warm the baguette in the oven for about 2 minutes.

    Step 4

    Put 1 tablespoon of the horseradish cream on each bottom half of bread. Fold one-quarter of the sliced roast beef over the horseradish, then put another 1 tablespoon horseradish cream on top of the beef for each sandwich. Over this, arrange 3 tomato slices and a leaf of romaine on each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread halves.

    Step 5

    Cut each sandwich in half, secure each half with a toothpick, and serve.
