Having just got home a couple days ago I am still feeling a bit off I think because of the time change. With that said, bare with me as I get back into the kitchen. Today I was going for a quick lunch that I could throw together really quickly. This worked out perfectly for me and the kiddos.
One of my favorite good diner foods is open faced sandwiches. Thankfully its something that can be put together rather easily and quickly. I'm a fan of Boars Head cold cuts, they actually taste like what they are supposed to be. So we've got the help on the meat but the gravy we can make and its so much better then that stuff in a jar full of sodium and god knows what else.
With just a handful of ingredients you've got yourself a quick & hearty lunch or dinner. I served mine with some peas & carrots (frozen), and cheesy potatoes (boxed). Yeah, yeah I know I cheated a whole lot on this one!
You'll likely have some extra gravy which can be frozen for a later date.
Quick Open Faced Roast Beef Sandwich
serves 3
1/2 lb thin sliced roast beef
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp gravy master (found near jarred gravy)
2 cups vegetable broth
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
sliced bread
chopped parsley
In a small sauté, over medium low heat, melt the butter and add the shallot and garlic. Cook until softened. Whisk in the flour until well combined and smooth.
Stir in the gravy master. Next, add in the vegetable broth and whisk until incorporated. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes until it has slightly thickened. Stir in some chopped parsley and taste for salt and pepper.
Take a few slices of roast beef and dip into the hot gravy. Leave in for a couple minutes to warm through. Place over top a slice of bread.
HAPPY EATS!!!
