Preparation
- Step 1
Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Cook to medium rare in a pan, under a broiler or on a grill, about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Slice thinly on a bias and set aside. Blot extraneous juice with paper towels.
- Step 2
Make horseradish sauce: Put grated horseradish in a small bowl. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and a little sugar. Add sour cream and stir to combine.
- Step 3
Split rolls and lay them cut side up on a work surface. Butter each piece lightly, then spread with 2 teaspoons horseradish sauce.
- Step 4
Divide sliced meat among the 6 bottom roll pieces, then garnish with cornichons, jalapeño and watercress. Replace top pieces of rolls and serve.

This is great thinly slice on a bed of arugula, dressed with the horseradish sauced, served with a salad of summer's tomatoes.
It would be lovely if NYT allowed a bit of time for editing one's notes. I'd put that misplaced 'd' back where it belongs.
I made these with brioche buns for a church potluck lunch and people loved them. I substituted arugula because I couldn't find fresh watercress, added a thin sliver of red onion, and stuck a festive toothpick in each sandwich to hold them together on a platter for serving. Delicious and easy to make.

No worries! Appreciate your thoughts.
