Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) sliced roast beef
- 4 large slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cheddar cheese, shredded
Sauce and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) caramelized onions
- 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-heat skillet and gently coat one surface of each bread slice with butter.
- Apply a generous layer of zesty horseradish sauce on the non-buttered side of two bread slices.
- Carefully arrange succulent roast beef, richly caramelized onions, and sharp cheddar cheese atop the horseradish sauce.
- Crown the sandwich with remaining bread slices, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
- Carefully place sandwiches into the heated skillet, grilling for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until bread achieves a golden-brown crispness and cheese melts completely into a gooey, luxurious texture.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of horseradish sauce for those who love spice or prefer milder flavors.
- Swap roast beef with shredded chicken or turkey for a lighter protein option that keeps the sandwich exciting.
- Caramelize onions low and slow to develop a rich, sweet flavor that elevates the entire sandwich’s taste profile.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread and double-check that all ingredients are celiac-friendly.
