Ingredients

For the rub

2 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

for the sandwich

3 pound piece top round

8 kaiser rolls or 16 slices rye bread

1 sweet white onion, sliced thin

2 ripe tomatoes, sliced thin (optional)

Iceburg lettuce (optional).

HORSERADISH SAUCE

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup prepared white horseradish, or to taste

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Salt and black pepper to taste.

Directions

Combine ingredients for the rub in a bowl, and mix. Sprinkle 3 to 4 tablespoons all over the beef, patting it in. Place in a baking dish, and cover with plastic wrap. You can cover the beef with the rub for a few hours, but for maximum flavor, leave it for 3 days in the refrigerator, turning once a day.

Prepare a hot grill. Grill beef 30 to 40 minutes, or until outside is crusty and dark brown and internal temperature is about 120 degrees (for rare). Turn beef often. Transfer to a cutting board; let it rest 10 minutes.

(This pit beef recipe yields rare doneness for a 3 lb. piece of top round. Cook longer for a larger piece of beef or for more well done temperature. A whole top round weighing 15-20 lbs. should take about and hour and a half total on a flat-top grill for rare-medium rare. )

Slice beef thinly across grain. Pile beef high on a roll or bread slathered with horseradish sauce. Garnish with onions, tomatoes and sliced lettuce.

Thank you my friend, this will definitely be served at this years superbowl party. I absolutely fell in love with these when were in Baltimore, it was hard to decide steamed blue crabs and beer or pit beef and beer. thanks again for the great recipe. I couldn't find the 10 so I had to give you a 5.
