Roast Beef Sandwich Chips and a Pickle
No cooking here! Sometimes a sandwich is the perfect Friday night (or any night, for that matter) dinner. I took a drive over to Charlies Butcher Block and Deli in Elkhart for the specific purpose of getting their sliced roast beef for sandwiches. It is the best roast beef around and I think they roast it right there. Its not pressed meat, or lunch meat, it is actual roasted beef, to perfect rareness and sliced thin. They also have fantastic rolls!
So, thats it. Charlies rare roasted beef on a Charlies roll with Provolone cheese, crispy shredded lettuce, sweet onion, mayonnaise, a drizzle of olive oil and red wine vinegar and salt and pepper. Not particularly gourmet, but still an example of how fresh and delicious ingredients make the best final product.
