Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz sliced roast beef
- 2 cups beef gravy
- 4 slices white or whole wheat bread
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (optional, for serving)
- 1 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, creating a roux.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the gravy. Lower the heat to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
In a medium skillet or microwave, gently heat the sliced roast beef until warm. Do not overcook, as you want the meat to stay tender.
Toast the slices of bread until lightly golden, either in a toaster or on a pan over medium heat.
Place two slices of bread on each plate. Layer the warm roast beef evenly over the bread slices.
Pour the hot beef gravy generously over the top, ensuring both the bread and meat are well-coated.
If serving with mashed potatoes, arrange an additional scoop of mashed potatoes on the plate alongside the sandwich and drizzle with gravy.
Garnish with chopped parsley for added color, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this classic comfort food!
