Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (1 lb) roast beef, thinly sliced
Bread:
- 8 slices hoagie rolls or bread of choice
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Sauteed onions
- Bell peppers
- Pickles
Instructions
- Craft a savory sauce by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to harmonize flavors, then remove from heat.
- Activate the oven’s broiler. Generously spread butter on one side of each bread slice or hoagie roll. Position buttered sides facing upward and toast under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until achieving a golden, crispy texture.
- Layer roasted beef slices atop the toasted bread. Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the meat, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese across the beef-covered bread. Return to the broiler for 2-3 minutes, monitoring until the cheese melts completely and develops a bubbly, appetizing appearance.
- Enhance the sandwich with optional embellishments like caramelized onions or roasted bell peppers. Plate alongside complementary sides such as crispy fries, crunchy chips, or a fresh, vibrant salad.
Notes
- Customize sauce intensity by adjusting Worcestershire and mustard quantities for bolder or milder flavor profiles.
- Use different cheese varieties like provolone or Swiss for unique taste experiences.
- Transform recipe into gluten-free version by selecting gluten-free bread or using lettuce wraps instead of traditional rolls.
- Reduce sodium content by choosing low-sodium beef broth and controlling salt measurements during sauce preparation.
