Arby's rolls out third Angus sandwich

October 2, 2011

Arby's new Ultimate Angus Philly rolls out today, featuring oven-roasted USDA Choice Top Round Angus beef, thinly sliced in-store daily and served with Italian seasoning.

The new sandwich is topped with melted Swiss cheese, green bell peppers and onions, and a tangy garlic aioli served on a toasted Italian-style roll.

"This is a tried and true favorite done Arby's style, and we think it's the best Philly outside of Philly, said Brian Kolodziej, Arby's executive chef. "Made with premium, thinly sliced and oven-roasted Angus beef, this sandwich is a cut above your garden variety Philly sandwich."

Arby's first introduced Angus beef to its menu nationwide in March 2011 with the Ultimate Angus Three Cheese & Bacon Sandwich, followed by the Ultimate Cool Angus Deli Sandwich and Wrap in June 2011.

Arby's Angus beef is 94-percent lean, lightly seasoned with a blend of cracked black pepper, garlic, salt and onion, then slowly roasted to medium rare and sliced thin.

The sandwich is featured in a new national commercial that was filmed in Philadelphia, starring Philly locals, Arby's spokesperson, R.B., and Andy Johnson, the winner of Arby's National Casting Call Video Contest.
