Amazing Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, made with tender roast beef from my leftover roast, topped with homemade onion rings, slathered in a rich gravy.
This recipe starts with leftovers from my Slow Cooker Roast Beef . My recipe makes the perfect roast beef with an amazing tasting au jus, so I usually make a big roast just to have leftovers for Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches. You can use any leftover roast beef and even packaged au jus or beef gravy mix, but it won't taste as good.
This hearty sandwich comes together with fresh french bread and homemade onion rings. The onion rings are so light and crispy and make the perfect topping for a hot roast beef sandwich.

- If your au jus is too thin, thicken with a bit of gravy thickener, before adding beef.

- Prepare onion rings while the beef warms up.
- Heat the oil in a deep pot (you can also use a deep fryer)
- Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside.

- Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture to coat; set aside.
- Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork.
- Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat.Then dip into the bread crumbs
- Fry in oil until golden brown 2-3 minutes

I love onion rings and steer away from making them for the exact same reason. The clean up. I'll have to try this on the stove top.
Laureen says
Yes worked great, just small batches at a time, I might actually try some recipes that require deep frying using this method.

This is a fantastic sandwich! I love those onion rings. I do mine exactly the same way except I use beer instead of milk. There are never any left. 🙂
