This iconic dish transcends the ordinary, providing not just a meal, but an experience—a chance to savor the rich, deep flavors and varied textures that come from simple, quality ingredients combined with culinary skill.

While the roast beef sandwich might seem straightforward, its true beauty lies in its versatility. From the choice of bread that forms its foundation to the selection of condiments that add layers of flavor, each element can be customized to create a unique eating experience.

Smoking the beef, in particular, introduces an element of sophistication, elevating the sandwich with its distinctive smoky aroma and taste. This technique, when executed well, can transform the sandwich into a gourmet delight, far removed from the everyday.

The roast beef sandwich, in its essence, is a celebration of simplicity and flavor. It’s a reminder that great food doesn’t need to be complicated; sometimes, the most memorable dishes come from a perfect balance of quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. As we explore the many ways to enjoy a roast beef sandwich, from the traditional to the innovative, we appreciate the craft behind creating this beloved dish—a craft that continues to evolve and inspire.

  • Meat Church The Gospel seasoning (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Cooking Instructions

  1. Prep the Roast (Day Before Cooking):

    • Generously coat the round roast with kosher salt. Place it in the refrigerator uncovered for 24 hours. This process helps to dry brine the meat, enhancing its flavor and tenderness.

  2. Season the Roast:

    • Remove the roast from the refrigerator.  Use Worchestershire sauce as a binder and season the round roast lightly with more kosher salt, black pepper, and Meat Church The Gospel seasoning to taste.

  3. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:

    • In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup horseradish, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and the minced garlic cloves. Mix well.

  4. Apply the Seasoning Mix:

    • Use the seasoning mix to cover the entire surface of the round roast. This will help create a flavorful crust as it cooks.

  5. Smoke the Roast:

    • Preheat your Traeger smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit using Louisiana Grill Pellets for the best flavor. Place the seasoned roast on the smoker.
    • Smoke the roast until the internal temperature reaches about 120 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare finish.

  6. Sear the Roast:

    • After reaching the desired internal temperature, remove the roast from the smoker. Crank up the heat on a griddle or a heavy pan to high.
    • Sear the outside of the roast quickly on all sides to create a nice crust.

  7. Rest and Slice:

    • Let the roast rest for about 20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it’s moist and flavorful when sliced.
    • Slice the roast into thin slices against the grain for the best texture.

  8. Assemble the Sandwiches:

    • Spread mayonnaise on the sesame seed buns. Add lettuce and tomato slices to the bottom bun, followed by several slices of the roast beef.
    • Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
