Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 300 grams roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the slices of sourdough bread on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour the beef stock into the roux while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens into a smooth gravy (about 5 minutes).
Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the gravy, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced roast beef to the gravy. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the beef is heated through.
Place two slices of toasted sourdough bread on each plate. Generously spoon the roast beef and gravy mixture over the top of the bread.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your open-faced roast beef sandwich!
