Beef Manhattan | Traditional Beef Dish From Indianapolis, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Beef Manhattan

Beef Manhattan is an American dish consisting of roast beef served with gravy and mashed potatoes, which can be placed on top of the meat or on the side. The dish is especially popular in the American South and Midwest. The first iteration of this dish was served in an Indianapolis deli in the 1940s.


In Indiana today, the dish is traditionally served on bread, just like a sandwich. There is also a variety of beef Manhattan where turkey replaced beef, in which case the dish is called turkey Manhattan.
