Sriracha adds a little spicy kick to this low and slow Aussie grassfed roast beef sandwich (or as we like to say in Australia, “sanger”).

Ingredients

Roast and Jus:

  •  1 to 1 ½ pounds Australian grassfed beef round, cut into a roast
  • ½ tsp garlic powder 
  • ½ tsp fine kosher salt 
  • ½ tsp dried oregano 
  • ¼ tsp black pepper 
  • 1 ½ tsp sriracha sauce 
  • 1 bay leaf each 
  • ¼ cup beef broth or stock, low sodium

Bread: 

  • Two 12- to 14 inch baguettes, each cut crosswise in two pieces 
  • ¼ tsp fine kosher salt 
  • 4 grinds of black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

For the garnish:

  •  1 medium julienned red bell pepper
  • TT fine kosher salt 
  • TT black pepper
  • ½ tsp olive oil

Toppings (optional):

  •  Oven-roasted tomatoes as needed
  • Roasted garlic cloves as needed

Method

For the roast:

  1. Rub the meat with garlic powder, salt, oregano, and pepper.

  2. Place it in a Crock-Pot with the bay leaf, Sriracha, and stock. Set on low for about 8 hours, or until the meat is tender.

  3. Remove the roast from the pot. Strain the juices through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth and keep them warm for dipping.

For the bread:

  1. Slice each bread piece lengthwise.

  2. Spread the cut sides with butter and grill or toast the bread.

  3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

For the garnish:

  1. Preheat a grill to medium heat.

  2. Toss the red bell pepper in oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Grill the peppers in a grill basket or sauté them over medium heat until soft.

To serve: Cut the roast into slices. Divide evenly between rolls. Layer the red peppers on the bottom pieces of bread, then top each with about 5 ounces of meat, and the top grilled bread pieces. Serve with the hot jus on the side for dipping.
