A perfectly cooked roast beef sandwich is already a thing of beauty, but the right toppings can take it to the next level. Whether you love the simplicity of a classic sandwich or want to experiment with bold new flavors, there are endless ways to customize your roast beef experience. From traditional favorites to unexpected combinations, one of your favorite roast beef shops is here with some of the best toppings to elevate your next sandwich.
Classic Toppings That Never Disappoint
Sometimes, you just can’t go wrong with the classics. A simple combination of horseradish sauce, au jus, or melted provolone creates a rich and satisfying flavor. Caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness, while lettuce, tomato, and pickles provide crunch and balance. A smear of mayo or Dijon mustard rounds out the sandwich, giving it just the right amount of moisture and tang.
Bold and Savory Twists
For those who love a little extra depth, try adding blue cheese crumbles for a creamy, tangy contrast to the rich beef. Sautéed mushrooms bring an earthy umami flavor, especially when paired with a garlic aioli. If you enjoy a bit of smokiness, crispy bacon or a chipotle mayo can add just the right amount of kick.
Sweet and Spicy Combinations
A little sweetness can enhance the beef’s natural flavor. Fig jam or caramelized apples create a delicious balance, especially when combined with a sharp cheese like Swiss or cheddar. If you like heat, consider a spicy pepper relish, jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot honey to give your sandwich a fiery kick.
International Inspirations
Bringing global flavors into the mix can create an entirely new sandwich experience. A chimichurri sauce adds a fresh, herby brightness, while wasabi mayo introduces a bold, Japanese-inspired heat. Pickled red onions and tzatziki give a Mediterranean twist, while a Korean BBQ sauce can create a rich, tangy bite.
The Ultimate Crunch Factor
Texture matters just as much as flavor. Crispy toppings like fried onions, tortilla strips, or even potato chips can add a satisfying crunch to every bite. Coleslaw not only provides crunch but also a refreshing contrast to the warm, tender beef.
