Sammich Saturday: Roast Beef & Provolone with Horseradish Mayo
Happy last Saturday of July! Can you believe that in a few short days it will be August?!?! That means my birthday is fast approaching as well…I’m not sure how I feel about that just yet. I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks.
In the mean time, let me introduce to you this delicious and way-too-simple-to-warrant-a-“recipe” sammich. Yeah, I realize that the concept of roast beef and horseradish is not new, but it’s new to my kitchen and I am in love. I adore horseradish. It’s spicy and delicious…um helloooo wasabi?!?!? Mmm now I want sushi.
But I digress. I originally had my eye on a recipe that had roast beef, arugula, and shaved parmesan, but I didn’t buy arugula and I wasn’t feeling in the mood to stand at the deli counter and ask for shaved parm. Yes, I was lazy. So, instead I started thinking of other ways to make a delicious roast beef sammich that would be worthy of sharing with my fabulous readers. And thus, this sammich was born.
It took me all of 5 minutes to put it together, and less than 2 to devour it. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit, but I did enjoy every savory bite. I served mine with a side of chipotle sweet potato fries, and it was the perfect lunch. Easy to throw together and full of flavor…what more could you want from a sammich??
