Beef Preparation

Sourdough Preparation

Optional Toppings

Method

Roasting the Beef

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef

    Rub the beef roast with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Season the Beef

    Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme over the beef roast. Press the seasonings into the meat.

  4. 4

    Roast the Beef

    Place the seasoned beef roast in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  5. 5

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Preparing the Sourdough

  1. 6

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 7

    Toast the Bread

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the buttered side of each slice until golden brown and crispy.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 8

    Slice the Beef

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rested roast beef thinly against the grain.

  2. 9

    Build the Sandwich

    Layer the sliced roast beef on the toasted sourdough bread. Add optional toppings such as horseradish sauce, mustard, and arugula or lettuce as desired.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the roast beef sandwiches immediately while warm.
