New Year’s Eve we enjoyed a big prime rib roast for dinner. Today, I knew I needed to use the extra prime rib and couldn’t think of anything better than a hot prime rib sandwich as we watched football this afternoon! Don’t you love it when one great meal becomes two?

OPEN-FACE PRIME RIB SANDWICHES

with Black Peppercorn Aioli

1 1/2 cups of sliced onion

1 Tbsp of Montreal Seasoning

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1 cup of mayonnaise

3 Tbsp of freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp of lemon juice

1 Tbsp of minced garlic

4 ciabatta rolls

2 lbs of cooked prime rib, sliced thin

8 slices of Provolone Cheese

4 sprigs of thyme

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Slice the onion and cook over medium heat in a skillet with melted butter and hot oil. Add Montreal Seasoning and cook until tender. Remove from heat. Set aside.

Slice Ciabatta Rolls in half. Place on a baking sheet. Spread 1 Tbsp of aioli on each slice. Top with prime rib, sautéed onion, cheese and a pinch of fresh thyme.

Bake in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble. Allow to cool and serve.

It’s always a good thing to have extra brisket. Make this hash with a few pantry ingredients and top it off with a fried egg. Yum.

BRISKET HASH

4 Tbsp. vegetable oil

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

2 cups dice potatoes

1 cups diced onions

1 red bell pepper

1 minced jalapeno

4 cups shredded smoked brisket

1 cup beef stock

1½ Tbsp. yellow mustard

1 Tbsp ketchup

1/4 cup of soy sauce

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Salt to taste

Dice the pepper, onion, potato and jalepeno pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter. When butter is melted, add chopped ingredients and sauce over medium heat until potatoes have begun to soften. (About 10 minutes)

Add beef brisket. (Make sure that the brisket is pulled into small pieces.) Mix in ketchup, mustard and soy sauce. Add beef broth and cover. Cook for about 10 more minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed, while stirring every few minutes.

Meanwhile, fry an egg to your liking. When hash is ready, place a large spoonful on a plate and top with the fried egg. Serve.
