Roast Beef Spicy Recipe

FROM THE GRILL

1. 1

   Prepare the beef rub

   In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the beef roast all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil and press the spice mix onto the surface to coat evenly.

2. 2

   Roast the beef

   Place the beef roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) until the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium-rare, about 3 to 3.5 hours. Remove and tent loosely with foil.

3. 3

   Rest and slice

   Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain into even slices suitable for the sandwich.

4. 4

   Caramelize red onions

   In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and caramelized, about 20–25 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Flame-soften jalapeño

   In the same skillet, add jalapeño slices and cook 1–2 minutes to soften and release a light heat. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Make mayo-Dijon spread

   In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.

7. 7

   Toast the baguette

   Slice the baguette lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with melted butter and toast on a griddle or under the broiler until lightly golden.

8. 8

   Assemble the sandwich

   Spread the mayo-Dijon spread on the inside of both halves. Layer the sliced beef on the bottom half, then top with Swiss cheese.

9. 9

   Finish with onions and heat

   Pile the caramelized onions and jalapeño slices over the cheese. Close the sandwich and press briefly to melt the cheese.

10. 10

    Serve with au jus

    Cut the sandwich into portions and serve hot with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
