Roast Beef & Golden Beet Tea Sandwiches
Serves: 9
 
Resist the urge to cook the beet before using it, and you will be amazed at the refreshing flavor and texture the root vegetable will add to this teatime offering.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 slices brioche sandwich bread
  • Walnut-Basil Pesto (recipe follows)
  • 1 medium golden beet, peeled
  • 9 thin slices deli-style roast beef
Instructions
  1. Spread a thin, even layer of butter onto bread slices. Spread a layer of Walnut-Basil Pesto over butter on all bread slices.
  2. Place beet on a cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, cut beet into enough very thin slices to cover pesto layer of 3 bread slices.
  3. Ruffle 3 roast beef slices and place over each beet layer. Top with remaining bread slices, pesto side down, to make 3 sandwiches.
  4. Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 3 equal rectangles.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Sandwiches can be assembled a few hours before serving, covered with a damp paper towel, placed in a covered container, and refrigerated.
