Beef Roast Sandwich

There is nothing like walking into the kitchen after a busy day and smelling the roast beef simmering away in your slow cooker. While it’s often served with vegetables as a full meal, this recipe is intended for sandwiches.

A roast beef sandwich is one that you will always look back on as a favorite comfort food meal.

You can serve it with veggies, a salad, or your favorite sweet potato fries or regular fries. It can be served hot or cold, in a wrap, in a bun, or even open-faced on toast.

What type of beef is best for a beef roast sandwich?

There are many different cuts of beef you can use for a roast beef sandwich. If you want perfect slices, a beef ribeye is excellent but very expensive.

For a shredded tender option, chuck roast is the best choice.

If you have a very low budget, then you can even grab a few pieces of top round beef.

The secret to this recipe isn’t just about the beef cut, but about the slow cooking that imparts so much extra flavor.

What is the best cheese for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich?

A classic Philly cheesesteak is often served with white American cheese, Provolone slices, or in some cases a bit of Cheez Whiz.

While these are traditional, they are not the only options.

I prefer pepper jack cheese to add a bit of extra flavor, but there are lots of options you can add if you prefer.

Cheddar, swiss, Colby – there really is no bad choice for cheese on a beef roast sandwich.

What bread should I use for this sandwich?

In the printable recipe below, I mention using sourdough or French bread for this recipe. Both are crusty bread that holds up well for the moisture of this beef roast recipe.

You can use any bread that you want including hamburger or hot dog buns, but a toasted or crusty bread is going to be the best for not getting soggy or falling apart for this Philly cheesesteak recipe.
