    Homemade Roast Beef Sandwich Spread: Easy Leftover Ideas

    February 12, 2019 Filed Under: Beef and Lamb, Dips and Salsas, Main Courses with Meat, Sandwiches

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    This easy Roast Beef Sandwich Spread takes leftover roast beef and turns it into a spreadable pate, perfect for sandwiches and appetizers.

    Roast Beef Sandwich Spread is a simple way to turn leftover roast beef into something completely different, but equally delicious.

    Just three simple ingredients and two minutes in the food processor, can it be any easier?

    Sliced leftover roast beef makes wonderful sandwiches the next day, especially a nice French Dip. YUM!

    But, my son wanted something "different" in his lunch. So, I threw together this easy spread and made a simple sandwich for him on sourdough bread. It is delightful on sandwiches and makes a tasty appetizer too.

    Roast Beef Sandwich Spread Variations

    The store bought version contains ingredients like: MSG, sugar, yeast extract, onion powder and turmeric.

    The recipe below uses nothing but mayo, horseradish, salt and pepper.

    You can add your favorite spice blends in place of or in addition to the horseradish to vary the final product. A few ideas:

    • cajun seasoning
    • bbq rub
    • garlic herb blend
    • Dijon mustard
    • rosemary
    • tarragon
    • sage

    Ways to Use Roast Beef Sandwich Spread

    Besides smearing it on bread or crackers as is, there a variety of other ways to use roast beef sandwich spread.

    Beef and Blue Cheese Vegetable Dip - serve with vegetables or chips

    Roast Beef Salad - (like tuna or chicken salad) add a little chopped red onion and some pickle relish and more mayonnaise.

    Nachos - mix in some Mexican spices like chipotle powder, garlic, cumin, coriander. Sprinkle on tortilla chips with melted cheese.

    Pinwheel appetizers - Use tortillas (like this recipe) or bread rolled flat (like this recipe).
