Open-faced Hot Roast Beef Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   In a pot, boil water and add the peeled and cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes with butter, salt, and black pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Toast the Texas Bread

   While the potatoes are cooking, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter each slice of Texas toast on one side and place buttered side down in the skillet. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3. 3

   Heat the Roast Beef

   In a separate pan, heat the sliced roast beef over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. If desired, add a splash of beef broth to keep it moist.

4. 4

   Prepare the Gravy

   In a saucepan, heat the brown gravy over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water or broth to reach the desired consistency.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   On each slice of toasted Texas bread, layer the warmed roast beef. Serve each open-faced sandwich with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on the side, and smother everything in hot brown gravy.
