Deli classics tend to satisfy diners who hanker for well-crafted sandwiches with flavor combinations that have stood the test of time. Creative takes can make them even more alluring. The Lambstrami Sandwich, recently added to both the lounge and in-suite dining menus at The Venetian Resort, updates an American standard with lamb pastrami. “It’s a huge hit that has exceeded expectations and is now one of our top sellers,” says Olivier Dubreuil, VP of Culinary Operations at both The Venetian and The Palazzo resorts.

The sandwich is built on a split hoagie roll, filled with shaved lamb pastrami, coleslaw, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, sautéed peppers and onions, and a finish of fresh cilantro. “The Lambstrami is different and intriguing,” says Dubreuil. “It gives our guests another protein option that is leaner, but still very flavorful, while staying true to the classic sandwich idea.” Seasoned with traditional deli flavors, including peppercorns, coriander and brown sugar, the lamb pastrami offers a tender texture and a warm bite. “Our guests love it,” he says. “The new Aussie Select Lamb product is a huge hit for us, so we are going to explore additional options such as lamb ham, lamb salami and more. They’re another great option for guests who would like something other than pork, chicken or beef.”
