'Better Than Arby's' Beef And Cheddar Sandwich Recipe - Tasting Table

"Making the Arby's Beef and Cheddar sandwich at home is easier than it sounds: Most of the recipe happens in the oven, and once roasted, the beef is sliced and served with a quick and easy cheese sauce and a ketchup-based sauce that comes together while the beef cooks. The Red Ranch, which is less like a ranch and more like a salad dressing or barbecue sauce, adds a tangy flavor that complements the beef and ties together the rich elements of the stacked sandwich."

"You'll use a lot of spices for this recipe, so first, check your spice drawer for salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. From there, you'll also need basic ingredients like granulated sugar, butter, flour, and milk, which you likely already have on hand. You'll need around 3 pounds of beef to roast - we recommend an eye of round, but there are many cuts you can try for roast beef."

Beef and Cheddar combines shaved roast beef, gooey cheddar, and a tangy Red Ranch sauce on an onion roll. The sandwich is simple, unique, and uncommon on other fast-food menus. Most of the home cooking occurs in the oven: roast the beef, then slice it and serve with a quick cheese sauce and a ketchup-based Red Ranch that comes together while the beef cooks. The Red Ranch functions like a tangy dressing or barbecue-style sauce that balances the rich sandwich elements. The recipe calls for common spices and pantry staples and recommends about 3 pounds of beef, such as an eye of round. Without a commercial slicer, plan to slice the beef very thin for proper sandwich texture.
