Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb beef sirloin roast
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
• 4 ciabatta rolls
• 2 cups fresh arugula
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rub the beef roast with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place the roast on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to preference.
4. While the beef is roasting, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
5. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and prepared horseradish. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Once the beef is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
7. To assemble the sandwiches, slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each roll.
8. Layer slices of roast beef on top of the mayo, followed by a handful of arugula and caramelized onions.
9. Place the top half of the ciabatta rolls over the fillings, securing the sandwiches.
10. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

For an easier preparation, you can use store-bought roast beef instead of roasting it yourself. If you don’t have ciabatta rolls, any sturdy bread like baguette or sourdough will work. Add a slice of your favorite cheese for extra richness and flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover roast beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The horseradish mayo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Suggested Pairings

This sophisticated roast beef sandwich pairs beautifully with a light side salad or a bowl of warm tomato soup. For a refreshing drink, serve with iced tea or a chilled glass of sparkling water.
