  • 1/4 c mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp sun-dried tomatoes, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp ketchup
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 c red onions, slivered
  • 1/3 c pickled sweet peppers
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 4 slices sourdough bread, 1/2 inch thick
  • butter, softened
  • 1/2 c white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz deli roast beef, thinly sliced 

Mix mayonnaise, tomatoes, garlic, horseradish, ketchup, and cayenne in small bowl.
 
Toss onion, peppers, pepper flakes, and some juice from the peppers in another bowl. Let it stand for at least 5 minutes for flavors to blend.
 
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, and spread mayo mixture on the other side. Sprinkle cheese on two slices, top with roast beef, then some of the salad mixture, then the other slice of bread, butter side up.
 
Toast sandwiches in a skillet using another heavy skillet or foil-wrapped brick as a weight. Cook over medium heat. When first side is browned, flip over and cook the other side, weighting again.
