Equipment

  • Charcoal grill: The smokier, the better.
  • Meat thermometer: Ensures your beef is cooked to perfection.
  • Tongs: For that expert grill-master finesse.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds of top-round beef (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons of prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly baked Kaiser rolls

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Begin by patting the top-round beef slices dry with paper towels.
  • Marinade Mix: In a bowl, combine vegetable oil, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Coating the Beef: Thoroughly coat each beef slice with the marinade, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. Allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
  • Preheat the Grill: Fire up your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cooking the Beef: Place the marinated beef slices on the grill, allowing them to cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare doneness.
  • Resting Period: Once done, let the beef rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Creamy Blend: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisking Magic: Whisk the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Slicing and Stacking: Slice the grilled beef thinly and stack it generously on freshly baked Kaiser rolls.
  • Horseradish Cream Magic: Spread a dollop of the horseradish cream on the beef.
