Description
A delicious copycat version of the classic Arby’s Beef Cheddar sandwich, featuring tender roast beef and a creamy cheddar sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 4 onion hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk together until well blended and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually add milk while whisking. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and mix in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- In a large skillet, heat beef broth over medium heat. Add slices of roast beef to the broth individually, warming each piece for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwich by spreading Arby’s sauce on the bottom bun, adding warm roast beef, followed by cheese sauce, and topping with the other half of the bun. Serve warm.
Notes
Consider prepping the sauce a day ahead to enhance flavors.
