Chef's tip

🥪 For an even more indulgent sandwich, add a thin slice of the cheese of your choice! 🧀

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Cooked roast beef freezes very well, up to 3 months vacuum-sealed or in zip bags. The assembled sandwich is not recommended for freezing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The assembled sandwich does not keep well. Prepare the parts separately: sliced beef, cucumber, arugula, sauces. Beef and cucumber keep 2 to 3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

For the separate ingredients. Slice the beef, cut the cucumber, wash the arugula, prepare the sauces. Assemble right before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

The assembled sandwich is not reheated. The baguette would turn soft and the arugula would wilt. Eat cold.

Variations

Use whole grain or country bread instead of the baguette.
Add sliced tomatoes or red onions.
Replace the mayonnaise with cream cheese.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the baguette all the way through: cut it lengthwise without separating the two halves.
Slicing the cucumber too thick: cut it into thin slices.
Preparing too far ahead: serve immediately to keep the arugula fresh.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a roast beef sandwich?

Cut the half baguette lengthwise without separating the halves, spread with mayonnaise and mustard, and fill with roast beef, thinly sliced cucumber and arugula.

Which bread should you choose for this sandwich?

The recipe uses a half whole wheat baguette, which adds flavor and structure. Spread the inside with mayonnaise or Dijon mustard to your liking before filling.

How do you use leftover roast beef?

This cold sandwich is ideal for using up leftover cold meat: 100 g of thinly sliced roast beef is enough for one sandwich, with cucumber and arugula.

Can you replace the mayonnaise with mustard?

Yes, the recipe suggests spreading the inside of the baguette with mayonnaise and/or Dijon mustard, to your taste. Then season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
