Deadmonton Beef Dip
This sandwich, invented from the city I rotted up in (Edmonton), a city that sees some of the coldest hearts in winter and hottest restaurants in summer. Most of all, would be ground zero Edmonton roast beef with zombie branding and very alive flavour.
What It Is
This sandwich, invented from the city I rotted up in (Edmonton), a city that sees some of the coldest hearts in winter and hottest restaurants in summer. Most of all, would be ground zero Edmonton roast beef with zombie branding and very alive flavour.
Origin
The Dinner by the Minute source lists the origin as: Canada (Edmonton, city of brainless people).
Fun Fact
Real caramelization is a slow Maillard reaction, not the ten-minute rush job most recipes pretend is fine — properly softened, sweetened onions genuinely take 40 minutes or more. Deadmonton disagrees with rushing most things, possibly including winter.
Ingredients
- 3 large red onions, cut into 8 wedges and peeled
- 7 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 1½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2¼ tsp grated lemon peel
- 6 4x3-inch pieces ciabatta, halved horizontally
- 16 oz thinly sliced roast beef
- 2 cups arugula, optional
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Gently toss red onions, 5 tbsp's of oil and vinegar in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange onions in single layer on prepared sheet. Bake onions until brown at edges and just tender, about 40 minutes. Cool. *Don't over bake*
- Mix mayonnaise, basil, lemon juice, lemon peel and 2 tablespoons oil in small bowl. (Onions and mayonnaise can be made 2 days ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
- Spread mayonnaise over cut sides of bread. Place bottom halves on plates. Top with either warm or cold cut roast beef, onions and arugula. Cover with top halves of bread.

Storage
Refrigerate the beef and jus separately for up to 3 days. The jus actually improves after a day, the onions less so.
Freezing
Not stated in the cookbook. Freeze cooked meat or filling separately when practical; assembled sandwiches with lettuce, tomato or creamy sauces are poor freezer citizens.
