Arby's Classic Roast Beef Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 135 min total

Recreate the iconic Arby's roast beef sandwich at home with thinly shaved, slow-roasted beef, tangy red sauce, and soft onion rolls.

Ingredients

• 2 lb beef eye of round roast
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 cups beef broth
• 6 soft onion rolls (or brioche buns)
• 6 tbsp Arby's sauce (or homemade: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne)
• 6 slices processed American cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Pat beef dry with paper towels. Rub with oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Add beef broth to skillet. Bring to a simmer, then cover tightly with foil or a lid. Transfer to oven and roast for 2-2.5 hours until fork-tender.
4. Remove roast from liquid and let rest 10 minutes. Reserve cooking liquid for au jus if desired.
5. Thinly slice beef against the grain into very thin strips (use a sharp knife or deli slicer).
6. For each sandwich: split a roll and warm in a dry skillet or oven. Pile on sliced beef, add a slice of cheese if using, and drizzle with Arby's sauce. Serve with extra sauce and au jus on the side.

Tips

• For authentic texture, slice beef as thin as possible; chilling the roast for 30 minutes before slicing helps.
• Leftover beef and sauce can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To make Arby's sauce: whisk all sauce ingredients together and let sit 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
