The North Shore 3-Way: A Massachusetts Sandwich Most People Have Never Heard Of
A classic Massachusetts sandwich made with shaved rare roast beef, a soft onion roll, and exactly three toppings. Messy, simple, and best eaten right away.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds shaved rare roast beef from the deli or homemade
- 4 soft onion rolls
- 4 slices white American cheese
- ½ to ¾ cup sweet tangy barbecue sauce (James River–style)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Warm the roast beef gently just until heated through. You’re not cooking it — just taking the chill off so it stays tender and juicy.
- Split the onion rolls and place a slice of white American cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
- Pile the warm roast beef generously on top of the cheese.
- Spoon barbecue sauce over the beef, letting it drip and run a little, then add a light spread of mayonnaise.
- Close the sandwiches and serve immediately while everything is warm and soft.
