Recreate the iconic Arby's Beef and Cheddar sandwich at home with this delicious copycat recipe, featuring tender roast beef, creamy cheddar sauce, and the signature Arby’s sauce on a toasted bun.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Roast Beef, thinly sliced, preferably deli-style
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded sharp
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Sauce Pre-made or homemade with shredded cheddar and milk
- 1/4 cup Arby's Sauce Mix of ketchup, horseradish, and vinegar for the best flavor
- 4 pieces Buns, soft onion or quality sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter For toasting the buns
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, and place the thinly sliced roast beef into the skillet, allowing it to warm for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Make the Cheddar Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast Your Buns
- Spread butter on the inside of the buns and place face-down in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Layer a generous portion of warm roast beef on the bottom half of the bun. Drizzle your cheddar sauce over the beef, then add a drizzle of Arby’s sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Cut the sandwiches in half for sharing, or keep them whole. Serve alongside your favorite chips, fries, or a simple salad.
Notes
Experiment with cheese by adding pepper jack for a kick, sautéed veggies for crunch, or grill the whole sandwich for a pressed sandwich vibe. Avoid overheating the beef to maintain its juiciness.
