I swear the thing is the size of my head.

My favorite roast beef sandwich is a prime rib french dip made with extra (as in excess that wasn't cooked) prime rib. Cook on a stove top, collect the drippings and serve on a french roll with au jus.

We used to have this local owned place around here called Pasquale's. Pizza and sandwichs. They had a roast beef sandwich that still gets my mouth to watering when I think about it. Their pizza was ok but I hardly ever had it because all I ever wanted when I went there was the RB sandwich. They closed down(again) a couple of years ago:(

They served it on baked, buttered bread they made themselves that had a hint of garlic in it. The meat was hot and covered in gravy. It was usually a big mess to eat but oh Lord...it was so good.

Fresh Ciabatta bread with slow roasted medium rare beef, seasoned with sea salt, cracked black pepper and a bit of red pepper. Slather bread with mayo on one side, and brown mustard on the other. Add Red onions, roma tomatoes, romaine lettuce and thick slices of creamy havarti.

EZPZ.

1 Side with Coarse Ground Brown Mustard
1 tbsp spoon shredded fresh horseradish

You have an inch and a half of pumpernickel surrounding all of that delicious roast beef and stuff?

So you start off with two thin slices of white bread. Good white bread. I get mine from a local bakery called Breadworks and it is tasty.

Drop a tablespoon or so of butter in a skillet and melt it over medium heat. Place the bread slices down in the skillet and brown them, then flip one of them over to start browning the other side. Now you stack your roast beef on this slice. It should obviously be good quality, rare roast beef. I'd go with 3/4" - 1" thick... a bit on the thinner side in my opinion, but that's how it has to work with this sandwich.

Then you add a slice of muenster on top of it (just one, don't need to overdo it with cheese) and flip the other piece of bread on top (browned side down). Add a pat of butter on the top slice and then place a hot, heavy cast iron skillet on it (or use a sandwich press if you have one).

Once everything is all nice and browned and delicious, slice into triangles and serve with a side of Inglehoffer sweet hot mustard (or whatever your favorite mustard is) for dipping. I suppose if you went all out and made your own roast beef, serving it with a jus would be even better.

You lost me at "pumpernickel". After that, the rest was wasted effort. Put that thing on Italian or Rye and you might have a winner.

Mayo is the sammich killer. Don't like it, won't eat it.

Indeed. Mayo is an ingrediant, not a topping. I wipe it off if it's been put on a sandwich or hamburger, and have been known to throw out the top piece of bread and even once or twice the entire sandwich if its on there - even if that means not eating.

I forgot to mention that - lose the mayo. As long as that's on there, the rest of that masterpiece is a failwich.

These submissions are all fail.

Not a single one of you mentioned preparing your own steamship of beef, cooked more rare than an honest politician.

Don't you own an oven? More importantly, aren't you the master of your own domain?

Actually my oven is broken and due for replacement tomorrow. As for being master of my own domain, I'm married. Nevertheless, I leave most non-grill cooking to hirelings, as befits a master of his own domain.
