Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (about 226 g) roast beef, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (about 113 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk (or 2% for a lighter sauce)

- 2 sandwich buns (soft brioche or classic hamburger rolls)

Instructions
- Lightly toast the sandwich buns until golden; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 2–3 minutes).

- Warm the sliced roast beef in a skillet over low heat for 1–2 minutes.
