Main Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

Brown Gravy

Method

Preparation of Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Preparation of Brown Gravy

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add the Beef Broth

    Gradually add the beef broth to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt and pepper to the gravy, stirring well. Remove from heat once the desired thickness is reached.

Assembling the Open Face Roast

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortilla

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 1 minute on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a slice of white bread, place a tortilla. Pile the thinly sliced roast beef on top of the tortilla.

  3. 8

    Add Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

    Spoon a generous amount of mashed potatoes over the roast beef, then drizzle hot brown gravy over the top.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Repeat the assembly for each serving. Serve hot and enjoy your open face roast!
