Guys!!! I am not even going to lie to you. Although these Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches truly are beyond heavenly tasting, the first set of pictures I took are horrible!

He also became very excited at the prospect of making them again so I can redo the photos.
Despite the fact that these may not be strikingly gorgeous, these Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches are one of those cozy comfort meals that is such a plain ‘good for the soul meal’ to have at the end of a long hard week.

Roast Beef Seasoning For Sandwiches
If you are a lemon lover you will be beyond thrilled with my Italian Roast Beef Rub. It has a mixture of Italian herbs, lemon zest and spices. It’s aromatic, fragrant, zesty and so incredibly delicious.
Garlic Studded Beef
Garlic lovers listen up! This cooking technique is for you. Garlic studded meat creates the most amazing garlic infused flavored meat and it is so easy to do.
- Peel and slice 6 large garlic cloves into larger slivers using a paring knife.
- With the same knife poke holes in the top of the roast with about 1 inch inbewteen. Holes may need to be made larger by poking your pointer finger or pinkie into the hole.
- Push the slivered garlic into the holes. That’s all there is to garlic studded meat.
Roast Beef Sandwich Calories
This sandwich, depending on the type of hoagie roll chosen, if mayo is used and how many slices of provolone cheese are added, will run from 500- 700 calories per sandwich.
Best Beef For Hot Roast Beef Sandwich
I have found that Boneless Chuck Roast to be the best for this Hot Roast Beef Sandwich Recipe. This variation of roast tends to be uniform in thickness, allowing for similar sized slices of meat. It also does extremely well with the low and slow cooking method. Plus combined with my Italian Roast Beef Rub, it is Too Die For Tasty!
Tools Needed For Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches
Reheating Roast Beef
If you have any of the roast beef leftover there is one trick to keep in mind. Save a little bit of the juice from the dutch oven with most of the fat removed and pour it over the meat slices before reheating. To reheat either place on a microwave safe plate in the microwave for 3-4 minutes on power level 8 or in a 350℉ oven on a cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes.
