Shaved Prime Rib Sandwiches with Texas Beef BBQ Rub and Au Jus
Prime rib is often treated as a one-night centerpiece, carved thick and served formally, with leftovers handled as an afterthought. This sandwich was created to give leftover prime rib the same level of intention as the original roast. By shaving the beef thin and warming it gently, the meat stays tender and rich rather than drying out or tightening up.
The inspiration comes from classic French dip and deli-style beef sandwiches, but adapted specifically for already cooked prime rib. The flavor profile stays beef-forward, supported by salt, pepper, and garlic instead of heavy sauces or cheese. Toasted baguette provides structure and crunch, while horseradish brings sharpness to balance the richness of the meat.
A light seasoning with Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub reinforces the natural character of the prime rib without overpowering it. Served with au jus on the side, this sandwich transforms leftovers into something deliberate, balanced, and worthy of the cut.
