The Braised Beef & Cheddar is one of Panera's most indulgent and savory sandwich offerings. We use premium beef that has been slow-braised until it is incredibly tender and succulent, then pair it with aged white cheddar that melts into every crevice of the meat. To cut through the richness, we add pickled red onions for a bright, acidic pop.
The flavor profile is rounded out by a bold horseradish sauce, providing a sophisticated zing that lingers on the palate. Served on toasted Ciabatta, this sandwich is a robust choice for a satisfying dinner or a heavy lunch.

We use high-quality beef that is slow-braised with savory aromatics to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor.
Our horseradish sauce provides a distinct 'zing' and clear-headed heat, but it is well-balanced by the creamy cheddar and hearty beef.
It is served on our artisan Ciabatta, which is toasted to provide a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
Yes, it features sharp white cheddar and a creamy horseradish sauce. However, you can request it without cheese.
