010: ROAST BEEF HOAGIE

The Iron Meadow — “Herbed Roast & Ancestral Melt”

A hoagie of depth and dignity. Sliced roast beef — rare and layered — topped with rosemary-thyme jus, horseradish aioli, sharp provolone, garlic-spiced arugula, and herb-roasted onions. Cradled in a warm roll kissed by fire. It is strength in surrender. Tenderness in salt.

🪔 What Is The Iron Meadow?

This is a 6-inch hoagie roll lined with rare roast beef, sharp cheeses, fresh and roasted herbs, marinated onions, and herbal aioli. It is the blend of wild field and butcher’s table — sacred iron, softened by spice and heat.

• Symbol Element 1: Roast beef – blood wisdom, embodied clarity
• Symbol Element 2: Melted cheese – warmth, surrender, ancestral comfort
• Visual Cue: Charred edges, molten cheese strands, green fronds against red meat

✍️ How to Create or Use It

• Materials: Thin-sliced roast beef, rosemary, thyme, garlic, horseradish, aioli, provolone + fontina, roasted onions, arugula, crushed black pepper, hoagie roll, olive oil, vinegar, smoked paprika

1. Meadow Jus: Simmer beef drippings or broth with rosemary, thyme, garlic, pepper. Reduce to thickened essence. This is the sandwich’s bloodline.
2. Horseradish Aioli: Mix garlic aioli base with grated horseradish, lemon, salt, smoked paprika. Chill for union.
3. Roll Prep: Slice hoagie roll, brush interior with olive oil and rosemary rub. Toast or sear until just golden.
4. Assembly Order: Aioli on base → roast beef → spoon of herb jus → provolone + fontina slices → charred roasted onions → arugula + cracked pepper → close + press.
5. Optional: Toast closed sandwich for cheese melt. Slice on bias. Serve with dipping jus or fire-pickled veg.
