Copycat Classic Roast Beef Sandwich (Arby’s style)
Weeknight-friendly American cooking: Copycat Classic Roast Beef Sandwich (Arby’s style) comes together in 15 minutes with lean deli roast beef, shaved, low-sodium beef broth, and not much else. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 30 grams of protein per serving. Naturally high-protein, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Lean deli roast beef, shaved
- 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
- 2 Sesame buns
- 1/4 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Prepared horseradish
- 1 tbsp Light mayo
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Smoked paprika
Steps
- Whisk the yogurt, horseradish, mayo, and mustard into a light Horsey sauce; it should clear your sinuses politely, not aggressively.
- Stir the ketchup, vinegar, and paprika into a quick red ranch-style sauce.
- Bring the broth to a bare simmer — never a boil, which toughens deli beef on contact.
- Slip the shaved beef in for 60 to 90 seconds, just until it warms through and picks up the broth’s savor.
- Toast the sesame buns until the seeds smell nutty.
- Lift the beef out with tongs, let it drip for a second, and pile it high and loose on the heel — Arby’s stacks in folds, not flat slices.
- Sauce to taste, crown it, and wrap for 1 minute so the bun steams around the meat.
