The Ultimate Roast Beef Sandwich

December 7, 2020 by zimmysnook Leave a Comment

Roast beef Sichuan sandwich with red peppers, arugula, onions, sautéed mushrooms, horseradish sauce with a side of chips.

The Ultimate Roast Beef Sandwich – Reverse seared & Sichuan marinated!

An overnight marinade, combined with low and slow cooking will turn any roast into rave worthy meal. Although suggested cooking time is a helpful guide, a high-quality digital or instant-read thermometer is the best way to monitor for doneness. Every roast is a slightly different weight and thickness and as such will require a different cooking time. I reverse seared this roast on the grill, but it could easily be done in the oven as well.

This roast is delicious served as a traditional dinner with roast potatoes & vegetables, but even better assembled into these mouth-watering sandwiches!

Marinade Ingredients
  • 3.5 lbs Ontario Beef Top Sirloin Roast (Sirloin Tip, Inside or Outside Round work too)
  • ⅔ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3-4 cloves local garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
  • ½ tsp five-spice powder
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
Raw ingredients used for a Sichuan marinade for a beef top sirloin roast.
Sandwich Ingredients
  • Fresh Ciabatta buns or Ciabatta loaf cut into 4-5” portions.
  • Fire-roasted red pepper (store bought in a jar)
  • Marinated red onions (recipe link here)
  • Sautéed sliced cremini mushrooms (sautéed in butter, seasoned with thyme)
  • Horseradish cream sauce (recipe below)
  • Baby arugula
  • Quality blue cheese (optional but recommended)
Preparation

Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, green onions, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns and five-spice powder in a resealable storage bag or bowl.

Place roast in the bag or bowl, turning to coat. Seal bag or cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or for up to 24 hours, turning occasionally if it’s in a bowl.

Preheat the grill to 225°F with a portion of the grill off for indirect cooking.

Remove roast from marinade, reserving marinade. Wipe excess marinade off roast and season all over with salt & pepper.

If use a digital thermometer probe, insert through one end directly in the middle of the roast. Place the roast on the top rack over the portion of the grill that is not on. Place a drip pan on grill under roast. Close lid and cook for 30 minutes.

Baste with some of the reserved marinade. Close lid and cook for 30 minutes more. Baste again and check temperature (should be approaching 80°F). Close the lid and cook for another 20-30 minutes. Baste again and check temperature.

For rare beef (like the one pictured here), remove roast at 100°F (for med-rare, remove roast at 110°F) and transfer to a plate or pan and cover with foil.

Heat entire grill on high until temperature reaches about 500°F.
Return beef to hot grill and sear on each side with the lid closed for 2.5-3 minutes per side (assuming 4 ‘sides’). Temperature should be around 108°-110°F (118°-120°F for med-rare).

Remove roast from grill, wrap completely in foil and let rest 10-15 minutes. Finished internal temperature should be 120°-125°F (130°-135°F med-rare)

Transfer roast to a cutting board, cut off strings and slice roast thinly across the grain.

Once beef is sliced, toast ciabatta, then layer with a healthy dollop of horseradish cream sauce, a slice of roasted red pepper, a handful of arugula, mushrooms, onions, beef and blue cheese (if using), finish with a little salt and enjoy!

Roast can be made ahead and used later for sandwiches. If making ahead, let whole roast cool, wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Serve sliced at room temperature.

Horseradish Cream Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh hot horseradish

  • 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar (champagne or white wine vinegar)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to combine.

Make ahead and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

After dropping off the chicken pot pie at my mother-in-law’s, we stopped by the fish market to get some wild shrimp, wild squid & organic mussels. I had made lobster stock 2 weeks ago and pulled it out of the freezer for tonight’s dinner.
I used the recipe from my blog: zimmysnook.ca changing out the clams for mussels.

Quiet lockdown Saturday dinner. If you want to up Quiet lockdown Saturday dinner.
If you want to up your charcuterie/cheese/mezze board offering, try warming a selection of olives in evoo with orange (or clementine) peel, fresh rosemary, pepper flakes and s&p. Mix everything in an 8.5” skillet and heat over medium heat until the oil begins to sizzle. Lower the heat and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the olives are fragrant and heated through. Serve warm right from the skillet or transfer to a serving bowl.

A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotiss A very large roaster chicken, cooked on the rotisserie.
I’ve been wanting to test out the rotisserie on my new @HestanHome grill, so I picked up this very large, local chicken, dry rubbed it and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Then simply cooked it on low and let nature take its course.

The rotisserie system is an ultra quiet, concealed, motorized chain driven system, which can hold up to 50 pounds, and always stays perfectly balanced. Incredible design! 👍👍
