💭 FAQs
You sure can! You can use any sliced roast beef leftovers that you might have, or get some deli roast beef to make this cold roast beef sandwich recipe.
This roast beef sandwich is all about the spreads and toppings! I’ve gone with a truffle mayo, but horseradish mayo or sauce works just as well—especially with caramelized or fried onions. Pair it with cheddar or blue cheese for a bold flavor, or add sliced tomatoes and onions for an extra burst of freshness.
To store a roast beef sandwich, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. If you have toppings like lettuce or tomatoes, it's best to store them separately to keep the sandwich fresh. Place the wrapped sandwich in an airtight container or resealable bag and refrigerate it for up to 1-2 days. When ready to eat, you can reheat it in the microwave or enjoy it cold, depending on your preference.
