Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 pounds eye of round beef roast
- salt and black pepper
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 Bavarian pretzel rolls
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 450. Place a rack over a baking sheet. Season the roast all over with salt, pepper and the caraway seeds.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and sear the beef until it's browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the roast on a rack over a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. When the meat registers 115 on a digital thermometer, take it out of the oven. As the beef rests it will continue to cook to 125 for perfect rare to medium-rare. Cover the roast with cling film and let it chill overnight in the fridge.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish sauce and caraway seeds and stir to combine.
Step 4
Heat the broiler. Thinly slice the roast beef. Spoon some of the mayonnaise sauce on the bottom of a bun. Pile some of the roast beef on top of the bottom bun.
Step 5
Add sliced Swiss cheese on top of the roast beef and run under the broiler for just a few seconds to melt the cheese. Add the top bun and serve with chips and dill pickles.
Step 6
We make homemade pretzel rolls, but fresh brioche rolls or artisan hamburger rolls from the bakery as just as good.
