Description

This easy prime rib sandwich recipe transforms everyday meals into a satisfying feast with minimal fuss. It’s perfect for busy families and anyone craving rich flavors without a complicated process, especially when those prime rib leftovers are calling.

Ingredients

Scale

1–2 lbs cooked prime rib, thinly sliced, ideally warmed slightly
4–6 hoagie rolls or crusty baguette, split lengthwise
8–12 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
1–2 cups unsalted beef broth or au jus
Optional: caramelized onions
Optional: horseradish sauce
Optional: thinly sliced red onion

Instructions

Prep and Toast Rolls: Lightly butter or brush rolls with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toast cut-side down in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. This prevents soggy bread.
Warm Prime Rib: Gently warm thinly sliced prime rib in the same skillet with a splash of beef broth over low heat until just heated through. The meat should feel warm, not sizzling, preventing dryness.
Melt Cheese: Arrange warm prime rib on toasted rolls. Top generously with cheese slices. Broil for 1-2 minutes or cover skillet until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble and Serve: Close the sandwiches. Serve immediately with extra warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

For a faster method, use a panini press to toast rolls and warm the meat simultaneously. To prevent soggy bread, toast rolls until golden and crisp. Warm prime rib gently with au jus or broth to avoid dryness. Enhance flavor with au jus, caramelized onions, or horseradish sauce.
