Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices rustic sourdough bread
- 200 grams roast beef
- 50 grams blue cheese
- 1 handful arugula
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Crumble the blue cheese into small pieces and distribute it evenly on two slices of the bread on the mayonnaise side.
Layer the slices of roast beef on top of the blue cheese, dividing the meat evenly between the two sandwiches.
Add a handful of fresh arugula over the roast beef, followed by a few slices of red onion. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down, to create two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt evenly.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the contents.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing each into halves or quarters, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Roast Beef and Blue Cheese Sandwich!
