[@i7887]

Brian you always throw your baking sheets on your pizza steel. Doesnt this either 1) scorch the bottom of the buns if the steel is up to temp, or 2) Undercook the bottom if the steel is coldish?

[@richbennett6577]

Should have put some horsey sauce on it Bri!

[@TurdFergusen]

Is that a pizza steel in your oven?

[@olivierguinard3350]

Technical comment from a former Arby's employee: the Beef and Cheddar does not have Arby's sauce in it, but rather Arby's Ranch Sauce, which is also red, but unavailable in sachet form. The Ranch sauce is fruitier and sweeter than Arby's sauce.

[@wes3764]

You also forgot to mention that Arby's strictly uses gray beef

[@graefx]

You've somehow answered a question my friends and I have had for ages about why the sandwich Arby's sauce and the packet sauce seem different. I salute you

[@firstdown1565]

Interesting. I never knew this. Thanks for sharing

[@ilovecokeslurpees]

No one seems to have a recipe for the Red Ranch I can find. I tried Josh Weissman's version and it is not great.

[@djmccathran]

⁠@@ilovecokeslurpees Former Arby’s manager here, an acceptable substitute for the Red Ranch sauce is Catalina French dressing. A couple of times when we ran out of the red ranch because of delivery issues, we used that and no one noticed. 😊

[@jamst5913]

I also worked at Arbys. I can't speak for states outside of the midwest but here the buns are made locally by Pan-O-Gold. If you want to skip the breadmaking look for "Country Hearth" brand onion rolls. Exact same thing (literally)

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Copy that thanks J

[@jamst5913]

@@BrianLagerstrom Oh! And the cheese sauce is also literally Gehls brand cheese sauce kept warm at around 130 degrees

[@ryananderson2346]

Yes bri we do get in that mood to take a whole day to make a Sandwhich. Thanks for understanding

[@genevievehodginslaity8824]

I made this today and everyone loved it, the sauce and the cheese balance each other perfectly and the buns are amazing, thanks for the recipe!

[@amandasargent8387]

I make all of your recipes and I LOVE THEM ALL. This one was delicious and indulgent

[@heimidal]

This has always been my favorite fast food sandwich. Thanks for the recipe!

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

These were my favorites as a kid and I am definitely trying this recipe when I visit my family next month, thanks!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Give it a rip, let me know how it goes.

[@kathleenroszak8576]

I love a delicious project recipe! I think these end up being my favorite.

[@johncrone5465]

OH MY GOODNESS Bri...This is my absolute favorite sandwich. I am printing the recipe right now! Another incredible video! Keep 'em coming

[@angrytwizzlers4039]

Ok, Im gonna try this.... and many appreciations for picking one method of measurement and sticking to it. Love your work!

[@user-sc8is2xj6z]

thanks so much the recipe was so good the cheese worked well with the beef

[@lrepko2]

Definitely have to try this one....nice vid

[@SDCCTBA]

Prato simplesmente espetacular... De fácil preparação e finalização irresistível. Não deixe de fazer essa receita!

[@droxxx3583]

Always good quality... Always home cook friendly... Nice one Bri, again!

[@colinmilky]

Just made this! Absolute banger mate!!

[@seanszarkowicz2910]

Thanks!

[@katieg410]

My family declared this a recipe we need to make again! Thanks!! I didn't have time to make the rolls, so I bought Kaiser Rolls, egg-washed them, and sprinkled poppy seeds and Maldon salt on top. Worked perfectly!

[@thevenin2]

WOW, that looks absolutely amazing!! Good job, nice proficient cooking technique and sound straightforward presentation.

[@richg0404]

The largest top round roast I could find at my local store was 4lb so that is what I used. It cooked up just as nicely (Looked great when cut in half). Like you said Bran, the shaving of the beef was the hardest part. I did my best and I'll declare this recipe a winner. The sauce was fantastic. We'll keep that on hand for burgers for now on. And the cheese sauce will be adjusted for nachos and tacos etc. The only adjustment I will make is to dial back on the salt and pepper rubbed on the outside. It was very salty. Another weeknight winner.

[@kevinponce8525]

Not say you are wrong, but maybe it was the difference in salt variety? Larger crystal salt have less salt per volume

[@trevordear2694]

Same, but haven’t started yet. Was timing the same? My roast is longer and flatter… so I’m nervous it will cook too quickly.

[@lucianalessemleme2512]

Adoro esses sanduíches. São maravilhosos

[@filo8582]

Looks mouthwatering amazing!

[@brianheuschkel3391]

Nice. Looks fantastic.

[@infamoussoul2346]

Just made this and it's delicious

[@XanderL]

>grates cheese himself to avoid anti-caking agents >adds 8 grams of anti-caking agent

[@glich86]

Its like not using salted butter for baking. Youre still gonna add salt, but you get to control how much goes in 😊

[@Dctctx]

Cornstarch isn’t an anticaking agent. It’s a thickening agent

[@XanderL]

@@Dctctx It's both.

[@dmmness]

Looks delicious!

[@michaelfrietsch8246]

this looks great! wanna try to make this for the family this weekend!

[@stonerscravings]

I made these with the same cut but sous vide it for 24 hours. Phenomenal and so tender

[@wattpd0]

Dude I am drooling over here! I'm going to make that sauce for cheeseburgers this weekend. Great roast beef recipe as well. Thank you!

[@cloudyview]

Looks freaking amazing 🤤

[@dave6012]

As a former chef I heartily relate to the restaurant kitchen spanish conversation topics 😂

Excellent. What’s better than beef and cheese on an onion bun. Delicious. Can’t wait to try it. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@zencomeseasy602]

The cross section of that beef is the kind of thing that brings a tear to my eye.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I was thrilled when I opened it up. When I rewatched this today I said to my wife “damn that looks so dope”

[@PatWalden]

Gotta try this!

[@spood87839]

Totally nailed the cook on the beef!

[@CaribbeanLife101]

Looks delicious.

[@leonardofink4236]

YES!!!! THANK YOU!!

[@jqmeehan731]

Dude...definitely doing this for my family soon! Looks incredible and pretty simple! Thank you for all the motivation! Keep it up!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I hope you try it! Good luck.

[@letscookwithleigh]

Blimey, that looks incredible.

[@MsGardenbug]

These rolls are exceptional!!! Without a doubt the best! I used bread flour instead of all purpose flour and added a touch more liquid and just happened to have dough conditioner on hand that I was wanting to use. Worked like a charm. I mean, the beef and sauce were excellent as well, but for us the star of the show were the onion rolls. Definitely worth the effort. YUM

[@cl5378]

BRI…I haven’t eaten a beef and cheddar from Arby’s in years. I used to love them. I will definitely have to give this a try. Thanks for the memories!

[@danielleshelbourne220]

I think I’ll make this tomorrow, I can’t resist it. 🤤 I especially love that you’ve given us the recipe for the buns too; it makes it that much more special. Thanks again for sharing your amazing recipes with us. I’m subscribed to a gazillions food KZbinrs but you’re my favourite. 🌟

[@yaannkkeeguy]

I have watched just about all of our bread videos all the way back to the weeds and sardines days....the bun in this video made me audibly gasp at how delicious it looks. I will need to try it soon!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Give it a try. They are good. I can recommend.

[@maryvang4196]

Looks delicious even though I'm not a beef eater... i can definitely do the bun and cheddar sauce though... thanks for the step-by-step clear instructions... plus the do and don't... love your channel

[@laurashelby6842]

thank you thank you!! Years ago (like a few decades lol) Arby's had a bacon cheddar deluxe. No red sauce, mayo (I ordered without), shredded lettuce, tomato, bacon all on top of the beef and cheddar. It was my favorite! I will be making it next week!!

[@yvettegon4403]

Wow amazing

[@brendanh6316]

YES on the bialy’s por favor. Also do an egg custard steam bun ASAP. I just got back from Thailand and those were ubiquitous and I gorged on them daily. I trust no one more than you to nail the recipe.

[@JoeAuerbach]

OMGs. That mood where you want to exchange half a day and 60-70 bucks for a great sandwich?! Holy cow do I EVER know that mood!

[@juliamurta3523]

Adorei o vídeo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Could you do a video on plain sandwich bread? Your pb&j video had one, but I got the impression that it was tailored to the sandwich you were making

[@112Famine]

Could you stick the done beef in the freezer for 15-20 mins & use a meat slicer? And heat it back up in some au jus on the stove? Then again if you had au jus you'd want to also dip your buns :)

[@padders1068]

Hey Bri! Looks delicious & by your reactions when trying it, it tasted even better! Good work! 🙂😋

[@davidrandall4001]

Dinner tomorrow night, grocery shopping list updated.... Thank You Brian.... Looks Fantastic.

[@markriccardelli1646]

Yes! please bialy vid!!! I can't find them here in Cali and would love to make them

[@junglediverscozumel4329]

Magnifique!

[@BeachPeach2010]

Made these buns 2 days ago and used instant mashed potato flakes. It worked perfectly. Use 1/4c + 1Tbs instant potato flakes with the same amount of water will get you to 75g of mashed potato. 👍 Making another batch today. These buns are the Bomb!

[@MichiCommander]

This looks sooo good. I'm jazzed just having a recipe for the Arby's sauce alone.

[@mcomeslast]

Yes! I need a bialy video! I buy them frozen and am moving (so I may not be able to find it). I’ll have to check on that dough conditioner.

[@JjrShabadoo]

Best intro ever. 😂 Yes, I have that silly mood quite often.

[@benjith3hunted]

Another banger! I think you nailed the balance here by not over chefing the beef so it could shine. This kiss is on my list as they say.

[@Moto-Uber]

Ótima receita

so good

[@cwspartan]

So pumped I’ve been telling everybody about this

[@JoelBecker]

Already a big fan, Bri, but this just increases my esteem for you. People love to bag on Arby's, but the Beef N Cheddar is legit the greatest fast food sandwich of all time. Now I just need me a Jamoca shake...

[@ljc3484]

Sixty to seventy bucks 😂 Thanks for taking one for the team- this looks amazing!!

[@crashkg]

Yes! Bialy Video, with a little Lox and Capers. Sometimes better than the bagel version

[@icedogg111]

Great video Bri!. for the folks that want to try this out If you can't find evaporated milk in your area , you can just use regular milk and add powdered milk.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

good tip!

[@icedogg111]

@@BrianLagerstrom Yeah, in the cooking school I attend they had problems finding a steady supply of evaporated milk . They tried evaporating normal milk, adding cream to milk, etc. After trying a myriad of methods they found adding powdered milk was the most easiest and cost effective.

[@garlicgirl3149]

I have family that remembers waaaaaay back when AArby's used to roast the beef...then later started to boil it and now who knows what they do. Sigh... This was great!

Que delícia um belo prato obrigado pela receita chef👏🏻👏🏻

[@frankfagnano3330]

Okay, this is scary! I just ordered that for lunch from Arby's but now I don't even want it after watching your video because yours looks so much more amazing. Fun fact: I live and work like half a mile from the original Arby's (Store 0001) and unfortunately what I got today is the saddest looking roast beef and cheddar I've ever had, I mean in comparison to watching your clip.
