Oven-Grilled Roast Beef and Cheddar Sandwiches

Oven grilling is an easy method that saves time, trouble and dishes because you can make a few sandwiches at a time without needing multiple pans. As long as you keep an eye on them you’ll end up with perfect, evenly toasted sandwiches every time.

Ingredients 

• 1/2 lb rare deli roast beef, thinly sliced
• 4 slices sweet onion, 1/4-inch thick
• 8 thin slices sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
• 8 slices sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1-1/2 tablespoon prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the center.
• To make the horseradish spread, heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and sauté just until the shallot is soft and translucent. Transfer to a small bowl and add the sour cream, horseradish and mayonnaise. Mix well.
• Place a baking sheet (avoid nonstick) in the oven to preheat while you prepare the sandwiches.
• Lay 4 slices of bread on a flat surface and spread each piece with about 2 teaspoons of the horseradish mixture. Add a slice of cheese, a slice of onion and several slices of roast beef. Top with the remaining slices of cheese.
• Spread the rest of the horseradish mixture on the remaining 4 slices of bread and finish the sandwiches. Press down on each lightly, then brush the tops with half of the melted butter.
• Remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Place the sandwiches, buttered side down on the hot sheet. Brush the other side with the remaining butter.
• Bake for about 8 minutes, until the sandwiches are toasted and golden brown, turning once.
