Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place it on a baking sheet cut side up.
Toast the baguette in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated to create the lemon basil mayonnaise.
Spread a generous layer of the lemon basil mayonnaise on the cut side of the bottom half of the toasted baguette.
Layer the thinly sliced roast beef evenly over the mayonnaise.
Top the roast beef with fresh arugula and thinly sliced tomatoes.
Place the top half of the baguette on the sandwich. Slice the sandwich into 4 equal portions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roast Beef Sandwiches with Lemon Basil Mayonnaise!
