This roast beef and provolone on toasted pumpernickel is topped with simple slaw and tomatoes, adding loads of flavor to an otherwise simple sandwich. Serve it with a side of fruit or vegetables for a quick meal.
A few months ago, I wrote a post explaining why I say yes to sandwiches and I shared my favorite go-to. While that simple turkey sandwich is a staple in my diet, I love to jazz things up when I have time. Adding different flavors and textures can take a sandwich from dull to delicious in minutes.
Combine Roast Beef With Simple Slaw For Flavor
I added pizzazz to this roast beef and provolone on pumpernickel by topping it with a simple slaw. I made the slaw sparely, then added it before eating. You can get get the recipe here.The tartness of the slaw mixed with the hearty beef and wholesome pumpernickel is one of my favorite flavor combinations. This sandwich is delicious cold, but, if you have more time, this sandwich tastes amazing grilled.
Combine the roast beef and the simple slaw together in a pan and heat. Toast the provolone on the pumpernickel, then add the beef and slaw to make a warm toasted version.

- 1 Deli Slice of Provolone

Notes
- Tip: Use your hand to collect 3 dashes of salt from a shaker. That is the amount recommended to flavor the slaw.
