Ingredients

• Rolls:
• 8 kaiser rolls or hard rolls
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons caraway Seeds
• Roast Beef:
• 3 to 4 pounds top round roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix kosher salt and caraway seeds in a small bowl.

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each roll with egg whites and sprinkle the tops with salt and caraway seed mixture. Set each roll on cookie sheet. Bake rolls for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush roast with vinegar and rub roast with salt and pepper and set on rack in a roasting pan. Cook roast for 20 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let cook for an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1½ hours, basting occasionally. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature of roast. Cook until roast is 130 degrees Fahrenheit for rare, 140-150 degrees for medium, 155 degrees for medium well, and 160 degrees for well done.

Let roast sit for 10 minutes. Strain pan drippings in to bowl. Serve as au jus or add flour and water to make gravy. Thinly carve meat and toss in au jus. Add desired amount of meat to rolls and serve. Serve with optional horseradish and a pickle on the side.
