Ingredients
- 1 small white onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup smoky barbecue sauce
- 1/3 cup chili sauce such as Heinz
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 lb very thinly sliced deli roast beef cut into strips or steak, again cut into very thin strips
- sandwich buns
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and then add in the onion and saute until tender and they're beginning to turn golden.
- Next, add in the barbecue sauce, chili sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and Worcerstershire sauce and whisk them all together until they've fully incorporated into a smooth sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat.
- Add the beef to the skillet and gently toss it to evenly coat the strips with sauce. Remove the skillet from heat once the beef mixture is heated through. Serve it, piled high, on your favorite sandwich buns.
Notes
Like this, but want a little *more* on your sandwich, like toppings? We recommend a slice of cheddar and a squeeze of creamy horseradish sauce.
