Best Roast Beef Sandwich
This sandwich is a perfect balance of rich, savory flavors and fresh, peppery notes. The crusty baguette or French bread serves as the ideal base, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. Inside, tender roast beef brings a hearty, protein-packed layer, while baby arugula (also known as rocket) adds a peppery bite and freshness that lightens up the richness of the meat. The shaved Parmesan brings a nutty, salty note, elevating the sandwich with a touch of indulgence. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh cracked pepper, this sandwich offers a delicious combination of flavors and textures, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. I pack it along some veggies and fruit to make it a meal. It’s also a great way to use up leftover roast beef. If you like your sandwiches hot, I also love this Hot Roast Beef Sandwich with Melted Cheese and Caramelized Onions.
An Easy Tip For Making A Lighter Sandwich
When I make a sandwich, I like using good crusty bread like a baguette or French bread. A trick I like to do when I make a sandwich is to scoop out some of the inside of the bread, which allows me to make a larger sandwich, and it leaves room for the meat and lettuce. So for this sandwich I started with a 3 ounce piece and I scooped 1/2 ounce out. I personally enjoy most of my sandwiches dry but if you prefer adding mayo or dressing, feel free. Horseradish mayo would be lovely on this!
I’ve been getting lots of emails from working folks who need help preparing quick and easy lunches on the go that don’t require heating up the kitchen.
If you have a sandwich you would like to share with everyone feel free to comment and maybe I’ll post your recipe!
