Leftover Prime Rib Sandwiches!
Did you, or ARE you making a standing prime rib roast for the holidays this year? If so, you WILL have leftovers. I can almost guarantee it. As you recall, we made a HUGE prime rib roast recently - see my Spice Rubbed Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream Sauce Post - and yeah, we had leftovers. I sliced and froze the leftover meat for later use. Glad I did! You certainly don’t want any of that prime rib to go to waste. The flavor is sensational and you know what, it makes for an OUTSTANDING sandwich with prime rib leftovers. LIKE SO. Prime Rib Sandwiches with Horseradish Cream Sauce. Let’s talk about how we make the recipe, shall we?

How to Make Prime Rib Sandwiches with Horseradish Cream Sauce - The Recipe Steps
Assemble the Sandwiches. Divide the thinly sliced prime rib onto the Italian rolls. If you want a warmer sandwich, you can heat the prime rib in a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil for a minute or so beforehand. Cheese It Up. Top with shredded cheese. I’ve used Colby cheese here, but any melty cheese will work. Use your favorite. I love it with pepperjack or a nice spicy ghost pepper cheddar. Yes! Toast the Prime Rib Sandwiches. Set into a toaster oven or onto a baking sheet in the oven and toast until the cheese is nicely melted, about 4 minutes or so. You can also use your oven set to broil. Remove from heat. Make the Creamy Horseradish Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, horseradish, mustard and vinegar. Adjust with salt and pepper. Dress It Up! Pour over the melted cheese, then top with sliced roasted jalapeno peppers. Serve them up! Boom! Good to go! I got your leftover prime rib sandwich right here, my friends. Perfect for leftover prime rib. Or maybe you’ll make one just for this recipe. I know I would! Steak sandwiches rule! Maybe serve it with some au jus. YUM. Seriously. We loved the first recipe so much, I whipped together the same sauce to drizzle - OK, drench! - over the top of the sandwich. Just look at it. Sure, it’s a messy sammich, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s super easy to make, of course. I like easy. Just take your slices of prime rib and drape them over some toasted rolls. I heated mine in a pan with a bit of oil for about a minute first, but you can start with cold roast beef. Either way. Top them with shredded cheese - I used Colby - then pop them into the hot oven until the cheese melts. I have to file this one under Quick and Easy recipes. Give it a go! I hope you enjoy it! Comfort food at it’s finest, my friends.
Patty’s Perspective
I really love the combination of horseradish with prime rib. There is no better combination. Since it’s leftovers, why not make it fun? I always love it cheesy. Most definitely do not let that prime rib go to waste.
