This simple but brilliant creation features thinly sliced, horseradish-covered roast beef piled high on a freshly baked kummelweck roll. When you add a steaming ramekin of fresh beef jus for dunking, you'll understand why this is the pride of Western New York (sorry, chicken wings). Serve with chips or fries and pickles on the side.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds beef top-sirloin roast
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 ½ cups cold beef broth
2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar, or to taste
4 kummelweck dinner rolls, split
¼ cup extra-hot prepared horseradish, or to taste

Steps:

  • Season beef with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef roast in hot oil until browned on all sides on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Transfer beef to a plate to rest.
  • Remove skillet from heat and whisk flour into skillet until flour taste cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour cold beef broth into skillet; place skillet over medium-high heat. Stir balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and any accumulated juices from the roast beef plate into beef broth mixture; cook until jus reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Slice sirloin as thinly as possible against the grain. Pile meat onto the base of each roll. Spread a thick layer of horseradish on the top bun and place top bun over meat. Serve with jus for dipping.

BEEF ON WECK



Beef on Weck image

I first tried this when I went to visit my girlfriend in Buffalo, NY and I loved it so she fixed it again a couple of years later when my husband went with me and he fell in love with it so I made it at home for the first time a couple of months ago and it turned out so good my husband wants me to make it all the time. It is strictly a Buffalo thing and we can't find the kimmelweck buns so I just use Kaiser rolls. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
