1
Prepare the Roast Beef
Thinly slice the roast beef against the grain into even pieces.
2
Make the Mashed Potatoes
If using fresh potatoes, peel and cut them into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, then drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3
Heat the Gravy
In a saucepan, heat the brown gravy over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally.

4
Toast the Bread
Lightly toast the slices of white bread until golden brown.
5
Layer the Ingredients
On each slice of toasted bread, pile a generous amount of sliced roast beef.
6
Add Mashed Potatoes
Spoon the mashed potatoes over the roast beef, creating a high mound.
7
Pour Gravy
Drizzle hot brown gravy over the mashed potatoes and roast beef.

8
Prepare the Side Item
If desired, steam or sauté the green beans as a side item.
9
Serve
Serve the open-faced roast beef hot with your choice of side item.
