THE BEST ROAST BEEF FOR SANDWICHES



The Best Roast Beef for Sandwiches image

The best cut of roast beef for sandwiches isn't necessarily the same as what you'd want hot from the oven. A hot roast demands plenty of marbling so that the rich fat can melt and baste the meat with its goodness. Roast beef sandwiches work better made from a leaner cut, preferably one with a mineral, earthy taste and a nice chew. A top loin roast is ideal. It's got plenty of brawny flavor, and all of the fat is on the surface, which you can easily trim off after the meat is cooked. Here, the beef is roasted low and slow to ensure rare, juicy meat. This said, if you want a more economical cut, use bottom, top or eye round here instead. Just adjust the roasting time if the cut is larger or smaller. As long as you pull the meat out of the oven when it reaches between 125 and 130 degrees, you'll get nicely rare meat. More sandwich recipes.

Time 6h45m

Yield 6 to 10 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small garlic cloves, grated
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons rosemary leaves
2 1/2 pounds boneless beef top loin roast (leave the fat on top)
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary. Spread the paste all over the meat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to prepare the meat, remove it from the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Coat the roast lightly with olive oil. Transfer to the wire rack and roast for 75 to 95 minutes, until an instant thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let cool completely before carving (trim off the fat cap if you plan to serve it cold). The meat can be roasted three days ahead; cool completely before refrigerating.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons jarred grated horseradish (with liquid)
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce
6 Kaiser rolls
12 slices vine-ripened tomatoes
24 ounces freshly sliced rare roast beef
3 loosely packed cups watercress or arugula, or a combination of both

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.

  • 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.

MAKE-AHEAD SANDWICHES

"I developed these 'fun buns' about 20 years ago when our four children were preteens," explains Marie Hass from Madison, Wisconsin. "Once they started high school, I kept some in the freezer for quick suppers when after-school activities kept them from eating with the rest of the family."

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Look for a lean cut with good marbling, such as top sirloin, tenderloin, or eye of round. These cuts will remain tender even after being cooked for a long time.
  • Season the beef well: Before cooking, season the beef liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the beef low and slow: The key to tender, juicy roast beef is to cook it low and slow. Roast the beef in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Let the beef rest before slicing: Once the beef is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast beef.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the beef: When slicing the beef, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices. A dull knife will tear the meat and make it less appealing.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead roast beef sandwiches are a delicious and convenient meal option for busy weeknights. By following these tips, you can create a tender, flavorful roast beef that can be enjoyed on sandwiches, salads, or as part of a larger meal. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal ready to go in no time.
