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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the gravy, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place two slices of toasted sourdough bread on each plate. Generously spoon the roast beef and gravy mixture over the top of the bread.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your open-faced roast beef sandwich!
