For making the sauce take a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, zest and 2 teaspoons salt.
Season the mixture with black pepper and hot sauce as per your taste. Refrigerate the horseradish sauce for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the broiler.
Slice the rolls in half lengthwise.
Using your hands, shallowly scoop out the inside of each half.
Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and arrange scooped-side up.
Now slightly toast the buns for about a minute.
Spread the horseradish sauce inside the buns.
On each of the roll bottoms, put 2 tomato slices.
Now place the roasted beef on top of the tomatoes.

Top the sandwich with some of the onions and watercress and cover with the tops of the roll and broil until the cheese gets melted.
