My sister came up with these quick sandwiches that use minced garlic and other seasonings to bring pizzazz to deli roast beef. Add some carrot sticks or a tomato salad for a fantastic lunch in no time. —Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts

Delicious! The only thing I would change is to put the open sandwich under the broiler for about30 seconds.

Absolutely delicious sandwich. The sauce is really great. I made two sandwiches and used the rest of the sauce for dipping. Fabulous.

What makes the sodium level so high?

My husband LOOOOOVED this. He told me I had to make this again. I personally thought the spices could be a little lowered, especially the salt, but I still enjoyed it a lot as well. Super easy. I didn't have quite 1/2 lb of deli roast beef (I used Oscar Mayer's Natural Slow Roasted Roast Beef) so there was enough "juice" for us to dip in. I'd definitely recommend.Update: I made this again recently and slightly lowered the herbs and salt. I think it tasted a LOT better that way. I also tried swiss this time instead of provolone and it tasted good too!

So easy... next time I'll go heavy on the broth and wine and use as a dipping sauce!
