Ingredients

• 1 pound roast beef, thinly sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 pieces white or whole wheat bread, thick slices
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups mashed potatoes (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 2

Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken into a gravy, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Season the gravy with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the thinly sliced roast beef to the gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat the beef through.

Step 6

While the beef is warming in the gravy, toast or lightly heat the slices of bread, if desired.

Step 7

To assemble, place a slice of bread on a plate. Pile the gravy-coated roast beef on top. Optionally, serve with a scoop of mashed potatoes on the side.

Step 8

Top with the second slice of bread or leave it open-faced if preferred.

Step 9

Drizzle extra gravy over the top of the sandwich and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting hot beef sandwich!
