In my opinion, a good roast beef sandwich starts with the most amazing beef roast. Use this easy sirloin tip roast beef recipe to make a roast that you can later cut into slices.
Alternately, you can go to the deli counter and ask for their best cut of meat. Have the butcher cut it into thick slices to use in this recipe. The thicker cut of meat adds to the rich flavour of this sandwich.
Next, you’ll want to make a quick sauce to pair with the roast beef. We love this roasted garlic aioli recipe, it’s really what makes this sandwich so delicious and flavourful.
We have some variations and suggestions at the bottom of the post if you don’t have time to make the sauce. But we highly recommend that you do! It’s super easy and totally worth it.
Let’s get started! Here are a few of the things that you’ll need to have in the kitchen…

Tips & Substitutions:
- Try making this creamy horseradish sauce or alabama white sauce to use instead of aioli. Even our homemade bbq sauce would be delicious!

- Change it up by adding mozzarella cheese, pepper jack cheese or cream cheese.
- Use deli meat, like sliced roast beef or prime rib instead of a homemade roast.
