Open-Face Hot Roast Beef Sandwich

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 lb cooked medium roast beef thinly sliced
  • 4 thick slices white sandwich bread

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly browned.
  2. Whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes until the gravy coats a spoon.
  3. Lower the heat, add the sliced roast beef and warm it gently to 165°F without boiling.
  4. Toast the bread until firm enough to hold the gravy but not deeply crisp.
  5. Place one toast slice on each plate, pile warm beef on top and spoon gravy over the entire sandwich.
