Cajun Pit Beef Sandwiches

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

I made a great sandwich today that was rocking with flavor. These would be a great Superbowl party tray if you quartered them.
I made my normal Cajun Roast Beef on the Egg. I seared it at 600f for about 90 seconds a side and then put it back in indirect at 275f.

I pulled it off at 145f internal temp, double wrapped it in foil, and put it directly into the fridge for a few hours. Even after being in the fridge, it was still juicy when I cut it in half to place on the meat slicer.

Meanwhile I made some Cajun Horseradish Sauce from a recipe I found on BigOven. It has a nice heat and sweet to it, I'll definitely make it again.
I also made a roux by whisking 2 T of flour into 2 T of butter. Just as it was starting to turn golden, I added the au jus, whisking it into a smooth "roux jus".
So the final sandwich is a sliced onion roll with sliced cajun roast beef, "roux jus", and horseradish sauce.

I love the double bite that you get from the cajun rub and the horseradish.

Your Roast Beef looks great.....but honestly what I need to make mine look like yours is a slicer... :laugh: -
I got mine about 2 years ago from my parents for Christmas. It's a Waring Pro and I love having it for this, pork loin, and turkey breasts. My kids are disappointed when we buy lunch meat instead of making our own;)Knoxville, TN

Hey Chris looks real good, I like the way the roast came out with your sear and rare on the inside. Good Job

That looks soooo good!! I love anything cajun. If you could send the recipe for the roast beef it would be greatly appreciated. Great idea for Superbowl Sunday.
