Easy Beef on Weck Sandwiches

Easy to make and absolutely delicious, beef on weck sandwiches are a beloved staple of Western New York cuisine.

The combination of shaved roast beef and crispy, salty kaiser rolls make for a perfect lunch or dinner.

This sandwich is high in salt and calories due to the roll and beef, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

The beef in this recipe is a good source of protein and iron, while the horseradish can aid in digestion and the prevention of respiratory illness.

1.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2.	In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth.
3.	Cut a small slit in the top of each kaiser roll and brush with water, then sprinkle with coarse salt and caraway seeds.
4.	Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are lightly toasted and the salt has adhered to the tops of the rolls.
5.	In a separate pot, prepare the au jus sauce according to package instructions.
6.	Add the shaved roast beef and horseradish to the au jus sauce and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the beef is heated through.
7.	Cut the kaiser rolls in half and place a generous helping of beef on the bottom half, then spoon some of the au jus sauce over the beef before topping with the remaining half of the roll.
