Course: Appetizer, lunch
Cuisine: American
Keyword: au jus sandwich, prime rib sandwich
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 pounds thinly sliced cooked prime rib meat
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup beef stock
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • leftover au jus or two cups of beef stock simmered with two tbsp flour

Horseradish Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup horseradish
  • 2 tbsp sour creram
  • 1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Mix all of the horseradish sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
  • If you are using leftover au jus, heat it in a small pot over medium heat until warm. Reduce heat to low.
  • Place a saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and saute until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup of beef stock to the pan and simmer for an additional 4 minutes before removing from the heat.
  • Place the hoagie buns with the cut side facing up on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven broiler to high. When warm, place the baking sheet on the middle rack and toast the buns until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Remove the buns from the oven, turn off the broiler, then preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Assemble the sandwich – Split about 1/3 of a pound of leftover prime rib between the top and bottom bun. Top one side with a spoonfull of sauteed onions. Top each side with a slice of cheddar cheese and bake open-faced until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the sandwich on a plate and top with the horseradish sauce on each side. Press the top and bottoms together and serve immediately with the au jus in a small side cup for dipping.
