Ingredients
- 2 slices leftover prime rib
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 2 hoagie rolls
- 1 tbsp horseradish sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Remove the leftover prime rib from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to take off the chill.
- Slice the hoagie rolls horizontally, ensuring they are split but not completely separated.
- Spread butter evenly on the inner sides of both hoagie rolls.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly toast the buttered sides of the hoagie rolls until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Thinly slice the leftover prime rib against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Place the sliced prime rib on one side of the toasted roll.
- Layer provolone cheese slices over the warm prime rib to allow slight melting.
- Spread horseradish sauce on the opposite inner side of the roll for a tangy kick.
- Close the sandwich and press gently to combine all ingredients.
- Optional: Return the assembled sandwich to the skillet and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes to further melt the cheese.
- Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always let your leftover prime rib come to room temperature before slicing to ensure even heating and maximum tenderness.
- Slice Against the Grain: When cutting the prime rib, always slice against the grain to guarantee the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Butter is Your Friend: Don't skimp on buttering the rolls - it creates that irresistible golden, crispy exterior that elevates the entire sandwich.
- Cheese Melting Trick: For perfectly melted cheese, cover the sandwich briefly with a lid while it's in the skillet to help the cheese melt more evenly.
- Horseradish Hack: Adjust the amount of horseradish sauce to your heat preference. Start with a thin layer and add more if you want an extra kick.
- Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your preparation to serve right away for the ultimate dining experience.
