My first encounter with the leftover prime rib sandwich was one of delightful surprise, born from the simplicity of a family tradition.

Ingredients

  • One loaf of crusty bread (choose from baguette, French bread, or ciabatta)
  • ½ cup horseradish sauce or mayonnaise
  • 1 pound of cooked prime rib
  • 4 slices of provolone cheese
  • 2 cups of arugula, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup of caramelized onions or sliced red onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the bread: Slice a fresh baguette lengthwise, toasting it lightly to preserve its crusty texture, perfect for absorbing juices.
  • Mix the spread: Blend horseradish sauce and mayonnaise for a smooth, tangy mixture that excites your palate.
  • Slice the prime rib: Cut leftover prime rib thinly, keeping slices even to ensure tenderness and highlight the marbling for juicy bites.
  • Caramelize the onions: Sauté onions until golden brown in a skillet, rendering them soft and sweet with a nuanced flavor.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Spread horseradish mixture on the bread, add arugula for crunch, then layer with prime rib, allowing flavors to blend richly.
  • Include the cheese: Top with provolone slices over the meat, letting it melt slightly, binding ingredients with its nutty flavor.
  • Topping and broiling: Finish with caramelized onions atop the cheese, then broil until cheese bubbles and bread edges are golden.
  • Final touch: Sprinkle with salt and fresh-grated black pepper, cover with the top half of the baguette, slice, and serve!
