As someone who lives outside of the US, I'd like to thank you for making all these recipes, allowing me to recreate these fast foods that I wouldn't be able to access otherwise
As someone who went to the US for 2 months from the UK and went to most of the main fast food places, trust me you're not missing out at all. The only place that actually left a good impression on me was In N Out, and a large part of that was because of how comparatively bad the other places are. The plus of these videos is you can take the concepts from fast food items and actually execute them well w better ingredients.
Okay I did it for y'all... This is gonna take about 60 minutes or so to prep (if you're an amateur and wannabe like me... and honestly I'd probably take even longer), somewhere around 180 minutes to cook, and your inactive time is somewhere around 2.25 to 13.25 hours, meaning this recipe might take a good 17 hours and 15 minutes total... To be fair, the vast majority of that time is doing literally nothing, so... I mean... it's really not that long at all if you think about it. Also, it makes 8 sandwiches, but you're *definitely* gonna have leftovers. Roast Beef: -8 lbs prime rib roast -50g (0.5 cup) finely ground coffee -28g (3 tbsps) kosher salt -Freshly ground black pepper, to taste -Lots of fresh Rosemary -Several shallots, halved -Whole coriander seeds -Any other aromatics you want Caramelized Onions: -2 medium sweet onions, peeled and diced -2 tbsps butter -Salt and sugar to taste (more salt than sugar) Onion Rolls: -295g (1.25 cups) water, 100°F/38°C -12g (1 tbsp) instant yeast -612g (3.25 cups) bread flour -14g (2 tsps) fine sea salt -2 large eggs (room temperature) -42g (3 tbsps) unsalted butter, softened and divided into 3 separate tbsps -The caramelized onions (above), COOLED to room temp Arby's Sauce: -311g (1 cup) ketchup -45g (3 tbsps) hot sauce -16g (1 tbsp) brown sugar -8g (2 tsps) garlic powder -12g (1 tbsp) worcestershire sauce -19g (1.5 tbsps) water Cheese Sauce: -28g (2 tbsps) unsalted butter -23g (2 tbsps) all purpose flour -240ml (1 cup) whole milk -135g (1.5 cups) freshly shredded cheddar cheese -Salt and pepper to taste 1.5 hours before you decide to make these... or, even better, the night before... grind your coffee very finely and mix with the salt and pepper. Rub this on your rib roast... and you want a *thick* layer, here, covering every inch. Place it on a cooling rack set in a baking sheet and let it rest at room temperature for an hour or overnight in the fridge*. About one hour before you're ready to roast, preheat your oven to 450°F/230°C. When ready to cook, line the bottom of a roasting pan with fresh rosemary, shallots, olive oil, coriander seeds, and any other fresh, whole aromatics you want. Place your beef onto that aromatic Garden of Eatin' you created, place in your preheated oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Drop the temp to 325°F/162°C, and roast for 11 minutes per pound of beef (88 minutes for the 8-lb roast called for here), or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F/48°C. Let the meat rest for a minimum of 20 minutes... but probably longer...^ While your oven's cooling down (shouldn't take long at all), take your onions, cut their tops off, slice them in half, and give 'em a medium dice. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions, season with salt and a little sugar, cover, and caramelize for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the onions are caramelizing, mix the yeast into the water and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour and salt and mix until combined. Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer, attach the bowl, and begin mixing on low speed. Add the yeast water and the eggs and let mix for 5 minutes or until everything is nicely incorporated into a smooth little man. Add the softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, then continue to mix on medium low speed until the dough is combined, smooth, and beautiful. Add the COOLED caramelized onions (cooled... don't make Papa angry) and mix until incorporated. Turn out the dough, work it into a ball, grease a bowl (ideally around 1.5 to 2 times the size of the dough), place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temp until chubby, about an hour or so (depending on the temperature of your room). Partway into this rise would be a good time to preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C. Once risen, punch the dough down and divide into 8 even pieces (110g to 130g each). Shape each piece into a ball. Place each ball onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet, cover with another baking sheet, and proof for 25 minutes at room temperature. Then brush each one with an egg wash, "optionally" top with everything bagel seasoning (we all know it's not really optional), and toss them in your preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until beautifully golden brown. Finish them off by brushing them with melted butter. For the Arby's sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, whisk, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and let it reduce for about 5 minutes. For the cheese... sauce... in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour. Cook for 30 seconds while whisking, then very slowly whisk in the milk. Keep heating and whisking until it thickens, then add the shredded cheese. Turn off the heat and keep whisking until velvety smooth. Then season to taste with salt and pepper. To assemble, grab a bun, cut it in half, and toast it. Not toasting it would be... bad. It would be bad. Don't skip toasting it. Don't make Papa cry. Slice the beef as thinly as you possibly can. On the bottom of your TOASTED bun, spread some "Arby's sauce", layer and fold as much beef as you want on there, add a generous spoonful or two of the cheese sauce, and crown your king... with the TOASTED top of your TOASTED bun. (Also... I added some notes of my own:) *You could go crazy with the beef and age it a bit, too... 2 days in the fridge... 3 days... or maybe you got one a' them there fancy dry-aging machines and can throw it in there for a while. ^Look you're gonna wanna let your oven cool, and you need to let the dough rise for an hour and rest for 25 minutes, so... you'll have to coordinate all this so everything is timed optimally. Good luck. And don't forget to toast that damn bun!
@@fleshymammal5332 Everything but the beef is pretty cheap. The prime grade beef can run anywhere from $12 to $20 per pound (or more... depending on the quality and where you get it). Fine sea salt doesn't have to be expensive if you know where to get some. We've got a massive international market that has all kinds of sea salt brands at various prices within a very large range. So just look in the right places. The rest is stuff you likely already have, and if you don't, is cheap to buy. And no, you don't need a stand mixer to make the bread. It's certainly more convenient, but a whisk, spoon, and your hands will do just fine. Just be aware that it's gonna be a work-out if you do use your hands. And if you make this with less meat (2 to 4 pounds, instead), you don't need a roasting pan... a deep 9x13 baking pan will work just fine.
Yeah but IDK that Arby's roast beef sandwich is still good. He can throw all the shade he wants, that Arby's sandwich is still better then most fast-food sandwiches and it's actually delicious. Not saying his isn't better, but Arby's sandwich isn't trash 🗑️.
My mother loves Arby's, the Beef 'N Cheddar is her favorite sandwich, so for mothers day today I made this sandwich following your recipe. HUGE success! I did alter the cheese sauce, making a beer cheese with aged provolone and smoke Gouda. And sautéed Peppers, Mushrooms and onions to make more of a Philly cheese steak variation. But the Buns and meat I followed your recipe to a T, and it was amazing! Thank you very much for this video and making this mothers day a great one. I hope I made Papa proud.
google What is the Arby's logo The cowboy hat is the main element of Arby's logo. It reflects the Wild West nature of the fast food restaurant. The cowboy hat has become a very recognizable logo. However, it's not only their logo but also their overall franchise that helped them have a good old-timey kind of atmosphere.
This video is probably how the first Arby's was, and then they had to scale out and the quality dropped to what it is today. Support your local restaurants, they're vastly superior to chains!
After watching a bunch of these videos I keep telling myself to just skip to the end to see the final product. Yet I watch the whole thing, even him make the freaking bread every time. Probably one of the best personalities and simple well made content on RUclips.
I've already made this recipe several times just for the roast beef (I've been on the carnivore diet for a year) and every time I come back to this video for the coffee rub measurements and Josh says "save it, you'll use it later. You're welcome." And he smiles at the camera, and I just smile back. Yeah, I use it all the time. Thanks 😊
THIS WAS THE BOMB! Couldn’t find a bone in rib roast and accidentally picked up a boneless prime New York strip roast. Turned out beautifully. Arby sauce and cheese sauce was easy and oh so tasty and the rolls were perfect. Instructions were spot on. Anyone can make this. I used my meat slicer and it went through the meat like butter!! Will definitely make this one of my go to meals! Well done Joshua, well done!
It’s so refreshing to hear someone give an accurate time for caramelizing onions. Drives me nutso when recipes pull this “sautéed onions for 5 -10 minutes until caramelized”
Isn't everything at Arby's shitty? I've never been there and my country doesn't have an Arby's but from everyone I've seen or talked to who's been there says it sucks

@@majdzubaidi5701 Your not missing much- Arby's I'd horrible. It's not even my bias or anything, Arby's has a reputation of being just a crap chain in general.
Not all fast food restaurants are the same. I don't get in the mood too often, but when I want a BK Whooper I travel 5 towns away. The roll is always plump, the lettuce, tomato and condiments are always generous and their sandwich looks like the advertising pictures. I pass at least 2 others on the way and there are probably another 6 BK's closer. Over the years I have gone to them all and the place I found is consistently the best.
Just wanted to leave a comment stating how much I enjoy the shows, the cookbook, and all you have done to put yourself out there for people to experience, share, and enjoy. I wish you the very best that this upcoming holiday season has to offer, and I look forward to see what you are going to produce in the next year. Happy Holidays!
Joshua: Where does beef sandwiches correlate with a big hat? Me (not sure if he's joking or not but pedantic anyway): beef sandwiches > beef > cow > cowboy > cowboy hat
“It tastes surprisingly like Arby’s sauce but with flavor” cracks me up every time. I’ve watched this a few times and about to make a fresh batch of the sauce. It’s great on a lot of things.

The ad that came up in the middle of this vid was a Sasko one (a South African bread company) that started all dramatically with "Who knew a sandwich could change my life." Hahaha how perfect
Ughh I can remember all the way back to 2008 when there were no ads at all. Eventually it'll be two whole minutes of unskippable ads like on TV to try and force people to pay for premium with no ads.
I found if u watch the RUclips videos thru the Musi app, u don't get ads when going fullscreen. u can't comment but at least u don't got no ads. and u can go to RUclips later if u really wanna comment.
Hey, Arby's employee here to say that red ranch and Arby's sauce are not the same thing! Red ranch is basically french dressing whereas Arby's sauce is a signature BBQ-ketchup kinda sauce :) Loved the vid!
Hey I work at Arby's too and honestly the amount of times people get that confused is ridiculous. Also can we talk about how bad the roast beef is while being so overpriced, that shit is literally meat paste in a bag.... Love the vids Josh keep it up!!
@@christhegreat8233 Totally agreed, the amount of times people mess up red ranch and Arby's sauce is insane. I've also had some people call red ranch broncolberry sauce, which was very confusing lol
@@samanthabackman1444 Honestly you don't know what they want sometimes then they see what you gave them and get upset. I've also had people call Arby's sauce, bbq sauce... Like what??? Those are 2 totally different things
@@christhegreat8233 Exactly! I've had those people too lol My favorite are the people who don't understand we have different sizes of roast beef sandwiches and get mad at us for not knowing if they mean classic, double, or half-pound when they just say roast beef. That or the people who don't understand we have roast beef, turkey, and Greek gyros and just keep insisting they want "the gyro"
@@samanthabackman1444 Omg yes! The people that say like, Medium and Giant. Like I know they might have used that in the past but update yourself and look at the menu for the first time in 10 years. Also on the gyros they really be out here just repeating themselves when we ask which one. Make a decision or something please I don't got all day for one person. Especially when, Idk if your Arby's is the same, but we're understaffed and it's hard to deal with rushes when there aren't enough people on shift sometimes so I need these people to hurry their asses up!
Worked for Arby's a decade. Food is just ok. BTW the Red Ranch that bottoms a B&C is just Catalina French dressing with a few modifications. Arby's sauce is just a tangier, more ketchup-y bbq sauce. I would totally try to recreate this tho. Looks sooo good lol
@@stephanies9689 yeah it's sad most schools don't seem to have a proper kitchen just reheating facilities. In Japan they have actual kitchens, cook the food, and I hear it's quite good. That should be a national priority for us.
@@francissantora6894 I think the biggest issues are govt dietary restrictions and funds, for paying more cooks and for decent food. Even way up in the Rockies where all the lowlander bread falls flat, they can't make their own bread for school lunch because of regulation and standardization. It's a whole mess and we wonder why kids are getting too chunky for their own good, they get processed junk even in "healthy" meals at school, we aren't teaching them how to eat.
@@JohnDoe-gc1kt their half pound roast beef sandwich is already over $8 of I remember correctly, with the cheap meat they use. Sourcing prime rib and roasting it in house would almost certainly double their food cost. They would have to inflate the price substantially.
@@fishymacaroon6 na you just adjust bro that's the same as a BBQ place selling brisket sandwiches. Most sandwiches call for 4 0z of meat. You could sell a 4 oz sandwich for less than 10 bucks
@Evan Scammell : Nobody who eats at Arby's is even following Josh. He needs to forget about crap & just cater to those of us who are willing to put effort into good food.
Idk what y'all talking bout. I like my sandwiches nice and cute. Then after I give them some sweet loving. I CLENCH THAT SHIT L IKE SATAN SHOVED HIS BIG MEATY COCK DOWN MY RIB HOLE. AND EAT THAT ABOMINATION OF SUBSTINANCE LIKE I JUST FOUND THE HOLY FUCKING GRAIL
What I adore is his commitment to making every steps so chefs of all levels can choose the parts the difficulty level like lol don’t make your own bread if you have no time but the beef and cheese sauce could be cool try the bread another day 😌 love that
@Jesus Hong a third of the family have both parents working, and if they bring in $120 a day (after taxes) about 2/3 of that income goes to car, house, utilities, insurances, etc. A family is lucky to have $10 to $15 a day for food. So $85 is a lot.
For a rib roast? Assuming that was Choice grade (he said "prime rib", but that's also confusingly the name of a trimmed rib roast), and he got a good deal, and it's Texas, so meat is life, maybe $50. But probably more, maybe even $100+. I can get pretty decent quality bone-in rib roasts for under $50 during the time of year when they're popular and on sale everywhere, though I'm usually only buying a 3-bone roast, and his looks like a 4-bone.
You could ask your butcher to cut you a much smaller roast (8 pounds of meat for sandwiches is insane), or buy some ribeye steaks and thin slice them. I just got ribeye for $7 per pound the other day.
I have watched so many of these and its always a slam dunk. Would be interesting if, instead of a fast food joint, the competition could be some high-end restaurant or food from a chef that may at least have a shot at being some kind of real competition.
Thanks for the inspiration! Now I know what I’m putting on the smoker this week. And not to mention making all those sauces in bulk for every meal that comes after.
The fact that I can use this video and Matty’s video to make the same sandwich is honestly incredible. Do I want to learn from Josh’s incredible high production and detailed video, or Matty’s high insanity and hilarious video? Jokes on you I can learn from both bc they are both kings 🔥🔥🔥
You'll be able to slice it thinner if you firm it up in the freezer for an hour or so. Even thinner still if you invest in a deli slicer. Then reheat the thin meat in Au Jus. Perfection!
@@bobataco210 Especially since Arby's sends out coupons for BnC sandwiches like multiple times a week it seems. I seriously get a sheet of Arby's coupons in the mail like every 2-3 days.
Yeah - That was my 1st thought - I mean he spent like $60 bucks here to make what Arby's sells for $4 with the cost of their packaging - of course its gonna be better. BTW - The first time I had an Arby's, like 50 years ago, it was the best fast food experience ever - I was craving another one for weeks - but (sadly) over the years, its become more and more processed. Same thing with Schlotzsky's - their original sandwiches were awesome - now its been turned into an over-processed artificial meal, heavy on the bread and light on the meat..
Keep in mind how much meat you end up cooking! Ideally you could just as well find onion buns that taste good at a local grocery store, and if you aren't making the buns you're only making the meat, which judging from that big slab you'd have enough for a dozen sandwiches or more. So it's sort of comparing 'going back and forth to buy 12+ fast food sandwiches each at different times' to 'cooking a bunch of meat/carmelized onions at once and assembling the rest from ingredients you bought'.
You should try making his stuff sometime! His Brownie recipes and Levain Cookies are amazing and pretty easy to make! Recipes like this are much more complicated of course, but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, well, you can defs see the results.
I do. At least I made this before but not his version, you want to make Roast Beef and Cheddars? All you have to do is go to your local grocery store, go to the deli and ask them to cut about a pound/pound 1/2 of angus roast beef. Get a can of cheddar or you can make your own cheese sauce to your liking (it's not hard), grab some onion buns, make the cheese sauce or warm up a can of cheese sauce in a pot (if you're using can/jar of cheese I suggest adding in some milk by a tablespoon gradually while the cheese is on the pot to get it the consistency you want), take your onion buns a lightly toast both buns on a skillet, warm your roast beef in the microwave for about 20 to 25 seconds (if you want it warmer adjust time), assemble your sandwich, and BOOM!!! You have a roast beef and cheddar without the hassle of making it from scratch, and let me tell ya that sammich was slappin'.
Tried the brownies and they were perfect 2/3 times (not enough cocoa the last time) and I remember doin a but better, since then the sauce always has caramelized onions
I totally agree that josh can make better food than the take out equivalent, however, i would like to see him do it for the cost price of the original food. I doubt Arbys use a fore rib of beef for their burgers.... im not putting him down, it would just be an interesting challenge
I miss Arby's in Mexico... my favorite was the roast beef, every friday I would try to convince my mom to eat at the mall, but she didn't earn a lot so it was pretty rare. whenever I won, those sandwiches tasted like absolute magic to me. they will always hold a special place in my childhood memories.
The fast food version seems depressed while the home cooked version seems a lot livelier and more appetising as well. Joshua's got the capacity to turn any fastfood food into some high-end dish or something like that.
As someone who lives outside of the US, I'd like to thank you for making all these recipes, allowing me to recreate these fast foods that I wouldn't be able to access otherwise

Q: What would such a huge chunk of beef typically cost in the US? Because in Europe it would probably be like 100 € 😳 depending on quality
Still a ton of money depending on the cut 😳
For a rib roast? Assuming that was Choice grade (he said "prime rib", but that's also confusingly the name of a trimmed rib roast), and he got a good deal, and it's Texas, so meat is life, maybe $50. But probably more, maybe even $100+. I can get pretty decent quality bone-in rib roasts for under $50 during the time of year when they're popular and on sale everywhere, though I'm usually only buying a 3-bone roast, and his looks like a 4-bone.
I got one at Kroger in May for $8.99/lb, and i felt like it was a good deal
Where in Europe are you? In the UK you can get great quality cut that size from a good butcher for £30-40.
You could ask your butcher to cut you a much smaller roast (8 pounds of meat for sandwiches is insane), or buy some ribeye steaks and thin slice them. I just got ribeye for $7 per pound the other day.
I have watched so many of these and its always a slam dunk. Would be interesting if, instead of a fast food joint, the competition could be some high-end restaurant or food from a chef that may at least have a shot at being some kind of real competition.

Because its not in your sandwich 😅
My father worked at Arby's in the mid 1980's. They actually roasted their beef daily. It's not like that now.
When I balance in the cost of spending literally the entire day making a sandwich, I'm not sure how much better this really is. 😅
Keep in mind how much meat you end up cooking! Ideally you could just as well find onion buns that taste good at a local grocery store, and if you aren't making the buns you're only making the meat, which judging from that big slab you'd have enough for a dozen sandwiches or more. So it's sort of comparing 'going back and forth to buy 12+ fast food sandwiches each at different times' to 'cooking a bunch of meat/carmelized onions at once and assembling the rest from ingredients you bought'.
I wonder about the cost of the roast

I do. At least I made this before but not his version, you want to make Roast Beef and Cheddars? All you have to do is go to your local grocery store, go to the deli and ask them to cut about a pound/pound 1/2 of angus roast beef. Get a can of cheddar or you can make your own cheese sauce to your liking (it's not hard), grab some onion buns, make the cheese sauce or warm up a can of cheese sauce in a pot (if you're using can/jar of cheese I suggest adding in some milk by a tablespoon gradually while the cheese is on the pot to get it the consistency you want), take your onion buns a lightly toast both buns on a skillet, warm your roast beef in the microwave for about 20 to 25 seconds (if you want it warmer adjust time), assemble your sandwich, and BOOM!!! You have a roast beef and cheddar without the hassle of making it from scratch, and let me tell ya that sammich was slappin'.
Tried the brownies and they were perfect 2/3 times (not enough cocoa the last time) and I remember doin a but better, since then the sauce always has caramelized onions
I totally agree that josh can make better food than the take out equivalent, however, i would like to see him do it for the cost price of the original food. I doubt Arbys use a fore rib of beef for their burgers.... im not putting him down, it would just be an interesting challenge
