Ingredients
- 1 lb of thinly sliced top round beef
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat.

- Season the thinly sliced beef with salt and black pepper.
- Place the beef on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- While the beef is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Spread butter on the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous portion of the sliced beef and a spoonful of the caramelized onions. Place the top half of the bun on top and serve immediately.

The Baltimore Pit Beef Sandwich is a beloved Maryland classic, known for its tender, smoky, thinly sliced beef piled high on a Kaiser roll. The addition of caramelized onions and zesty horseradish mayo takes this iconic dish to the next level. This mouthwatering combination of flavors and textures has made it a staple at local BBQ joints and food trucks throughout the Baltimore area. One of the most famous purveyors of this delectable sandwich is Chaps Pit Beef, a legendary establishment that has been serving up pit beef perfection for over 30 years. Their pitmasters expertly season and slow-roast the beef over an open flame, resulting in a succulent, charred exterior and juicy, pink center. The caramelized onions add a sweet, savory element, while the horseradish mayo provides a spicy kick that cuts through the richness of the meat. For those seeking the ultimate Baltimore Pit Beef experience, a trip to Chaps Pit Beef is a must. However, for those unable to make the pilgrimage, recreating this iconic sandwich at home is entirely possible. The key lies in sourcing high-quality, thinly sliced beef and mastering the art of slow-roasting over an open flame or charcoal grill. The caramelized onions should be cooked low and slow until golden brown and intensely flavorful, while the horseradish mayo should be made with freshly grated horseradish for maximum pungency. Whether enjoyed at a local eatery or crafted in the comfort of one's own kitchen, the Baltimore Pit Beef Sandwich with caramelized onions and horseradish mayo is a true celebration of bold flavors and culinary tradition.
