Roast Beef Sandwich on Whole Wheat with Lettuce and Mustard

Ingredients

• sliced roast beef 5 oz
• whole wheat bread 2 slices
• lettuce 1 cup
• mustard 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the Ingredients. Wash the lettuce thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Then, dry it well using a salad spinner or paper towels to avoid soggy bread. Lay out the slices of whole wheat bread on a clean surface.
   Tip: Dry lettuce helps keep the sandwich from becoming soggy.
2. Spread Mustard on Bread. Using a butter knife, spread 1 tablespoon of mustard evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will add tangy flavor and moisture to the sandwich.
   Tip: Spread mustard evenly to avoid overpowering any single bite.
3. Layer Roast Beef. Place the 5 oz (about 141.8 grams) of sliced roast beef evenly over one slice of the mustard-coated bread. Arrange the slices so they cover the bread completely for a balanced bite.
   Tip: If the roast beef slices are large, you can fold them to fit the bread better.
4. Add Lettuce. Top the roast beef with 1 cup (about 240 grams) of fresh, dry lettuce leaves. This adds a crisp texture and freshness to the sandwich.
   Tip: Use tender leaves from the center of the lettuce head for the best texture.
5. Assemble the Sandwich. Place the second slice of bread, mustard side down, on top of the lettuce to complete the sandwich. Press gently to hold everything together.
   Tip: Press gently to avoid squishing the ingredients.
6. Serve. Cut the sandwich diagonally or in half if desired, and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
   Tip: Cutting the sandwich makes it easier to eat and looks appealing.

Pro tips

• Use fresh, high-quality roast beef for the best flavor and texture.
• If you prefer, lightly toast the bread before assembling to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
