Roast Beef

For Serving

Method

Preparing the Roast Beef

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef roast with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the entire roast is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the seasoned beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Roast the Beef

    Place the seared roast in a roasting pan. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  5. 5

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the roast from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Adding Toppings

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the roast is resting, grill the ham slices in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through.

  2. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the ham is grilled, place the slices on top of the sliced roast beef. Sprinkle the pepper jack cheese generously over the ham and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

  3. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of the melted cheese for garnish.

Serving

  1. 9

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the roast beef into thin pieces and layer them on the buns or rolls. Top with the grilled ham and melted cheese.

  2. 10

    Add Sauce

    Drizzle horseradish sauce over the meat if desired.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the jacked-up roast beef sandwiches warm, with any remaining horseradish sauce on the side.
