Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread slices preferably hearty bread like sourdough or ciabatta
  • 4-6 ounces prime rib thinly sliced leftover prime rib
  • 1 tablespoon butter for searing and toasting
  • 1 clove garlic roasted or fresh, minced

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Toaster or oven for toasting bread

Method
 

  1. Slice the leftover prime rib into thin, even pieces, ensuring each slice is tender and easy to bite through.
  2. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or under a broiler, then set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, letting it foam gently and develop a faint nutty aroma.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring to avoid burning.
  5. Place the sliced prime rib in the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes, just until the edges brown slightly and the aroma intensifies.
  6. Layer the warm prime rib onto one slice of toasted bread, then top with the second slice to form a sandwich.
  7. Optional: Press the sandwich lightly with a spatula to help it meld together and ensure a crispy crust.
  8. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally to reveal the tender meat and crispy bread, then serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
