Yum…a simple roast beef sandwich…or is it?

I was teaching an appetizer cooking class recently and as a bonus, I brought in homemade roast beef sandwiches.  The whole class loved the salad and asked me to make a post on how I created the sandwich, so here is what I did.

First I like to hollow out my bread as I like to balance out the bread to meat ratio, to do this, slice your bread in half, remove the dough from the bread, creating wells.

add the roast beef to one side of the bread (for my homemade recipe of roast beef click here)

add “cream style horseradish” to the other side of the bread (or add mayonnaise if you prefer that)

add tomatoes to the top of the roast beef

swiss cheese on top of the horseradish side

top with watercress, or lettuce if that’s easier to find

put the bread together and you have your sandwich

So simple…now I have learned through cooking and teaching that presentation is important, it’s why I was specific in sharing where I placed the roast beef, tomatoes, cheese, watercress, and horseradish.  If you want your sandwich to look different, that’s fine, just think about how you are stacking them on the sandwich so your outcome looks as appealing as you desire.ubstitution Ideas:

Substitution Ideas:

• Replace the horseradish with mayonnaise
• If you can’t find watercress use lettuce
• If you prefer a different cheese, use it
• You can add red onions or mustard
