home made roast beef sandwich meat

I don’t understand store bought roast beef sandwich meat. It’s expensive. It has a funny texture. It’s not very good at all. I’m just not a fan. If you’re looking for a better roast beef sandwich, have an oven, an instant read thermometer and a sharp knife you can do better. Home made roast beef sandwich meat. Like you’d get from an awesome sandwich food truck.

There’s absolutely nothing to making home made roast beef sandwich meat. It’s only slightly harder than boiling water. Or making ice. Take a nice hunk of top sirloin. Roast it in a 275F oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 125F. Have some for dinner. Refrigerate the rest. Slice against the grain. Pile on bread. Eat.

  1. Hi Romain
    I’ve only recently discovered your website and I am very impressed with everything…and by that I mean…the recipes itself…as well as the set-up of the site.
    We went to a restaurant in Cape Town where my wife and I had Chicken Jalfrezi. It was absolutely delicious. So, of course, I had to try to make it at home. That’s how I came to your site while searching for authentic Indian Chicken Jalfrezi.
    However, the reason for this comment is, to ask about that delicious looking bread roll in the picture above?
    Thanks again sir

    • Thank you for the kind words! I’m afraid I didn’t bake the bread in the pictures. Sorry to disappoint. Those are ciabatta rolls from my local grocery store believe it or not. Ace brand bakery. Likely not available in South Africa I am afraid…

  2. You are so right! Deli meat is not good, or cheap. This is a total no-brainer, with a recipe this easy, why not make it at home yourself?? The roast beef looks absolutely delicious, thanks for an awesome and easy recipe!

  3. Oh. My. Meat. This roast beef is spectacular, Romain! I’m practically drooling just looking at it. I know what I’ll be making this weekend! 😉

  4. That piece of beef looks divine!! :O and the pickled onions!!! The contrast of sweet, sour and beef on bread (or even a crostini!) sounds like such a fantastic flavour combo too! Time to pick me up a roast!! 😀

  5. My husband loves roast beef but I never let him buy it in the deli because of how expensive the good stuff is…and the not so good stuff is gross! I’ll have to keep my eye out for a sale on a nice roast and give this a try – I’m sure he’ll be very pleased at lunch time! And it’s all good with me because this is pretty easy to cook up!
