Horseradish sauce or English mustard cuts through the rich beef; add rocket, watercress or thinly sliced red onion for freshness and crunch. Pickled gherkins are a good side or filling.

Pat wet salad leaves and sliced tomatoes dry, and spread butter or a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bread as a barrier. Add the dressing just before eating, especially if you are packing the sandwich.

Wrap it tightly and refrigerate it promptly, ideally below 5 °C; eat it within a day for the best texture. Keep it chilled in an insulated bag if you are taking it out.

Yes. Chill leftover beef promptly, then slice it thinly across the grain once cold; this makes it easier to bite through. Layer it with mustard or horseradish and crisp salad leaves.

For a similar savoury filling, use thinly sliced roast pork or turkey. For a meat-free version, try thick slices of roasted aubergine with horseradish and rocket.
