Description
A hearty roast beef sandwich layered with tender beef, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, melty cheese, and a sweet and tangy honey mustard mayonnaise on a toasted bun.
Ingredients
1 sturdy sandwich bun (ciabatta, brioche, or hoagie roll)
Butter (optional, for toasting)
4–6 slices roast beef
2 lettuce leaves
2–4 tomato slices
3–5 tablespoons caramelized onions or thinly sliced onions
2–3 slices cheese (cheddar, provolone, or Swiss)
Honey Mustard Mayonnaise:
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Split the bun in half and butter lightly if desired. Toast until golden for extra texture.
- Layer the roast beef evenly over the bottom half of the bun.
- Add the lettuce leaves on top of the beef, followed by tomato slices.
- Spoon caramelized or sliced onions over the tomatoes.
- Place the cheese slices over the onions.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Spread the honey mustard mayonnaise over the cheese or top bun.
- Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
Toast the bun to prevent sogginess.
Keep the sauce separate if preparing ahead of time.
Broil briefly to melt the cheese for a warm sandwich option.
Add pickles or banana peppers for extra tang.
Use high-quality deli roast beef for best flavor.
