My mate Jimmy shares his easy recipe for an epic roast beef sarnie that uses up leftover meat, paired with soft onions and loads of oozy melted cheese. This one is pure indulgence – a perfect weekend treat.

Ingredients

3 parsnips

6 carrots

olive oil

2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

3 onions

1 knob of unsalted butter

180g Cheddar cheese

3 teaspoons English mustard

12 slices of bread

400g sliced leftover roast beef

Top Tip

You can use any cut of beef, or go for pork or chicken instead, or even go veggie and try cooked sliced courgettes or aubergine in place of the meat.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Wash the parsnips and carrots, trim and chop into even-sized chips. Place in a large roasting dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Strip in the rosemary and mix well, then roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  2. Peel and finely slice the onions. Place in a non-stick frying pan on a medium-low heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft and sweet, stirring occasionally. Stir in the butter for added richness, then tip into a bowl, returning the pan to the heat.
  3. Grate the cheese into the pan, add the mustard and let it all melt together.
  4. Toast the bread, then line up 6 slices and divide the onions between them. Lay the beef over the top, then pour over the bubbling oozy cheese. Put the other slices of toast on top and the sandwiches are done.
  5. Slice the sandwiches in half, and serve with the root veg chips on the side.

  • White or red onions or shallots are all good, or you could use a mixture.
  • Use any good melty cheese.
  • Use whatever root veg you’ve got to make the chips, just cut them all an even size.
