Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sliced roast beef
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices white sandwich bread or French bread
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Cook until the mixture turns light golden, but avoid letting it brown too much.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook and stir for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Add the sliced roast beef to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the beef in the gravy and heat through for 3-5 minutes.
Toast the bread slices (optional) to add texture or leave them as is for a softer sandwich experience.
Place each slice of bread on a plate. Pile the warm roast beef on top of the bread, and generously ladle the gravy over the sandwich.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with a side of mashed potatoes or vegetables for a complete meal.
