Hot Beef Sandwiches

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a slow cooker, place the beef roast, sliced onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the beef broth to cover the meat. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    While the beef is cooking, boil the quartered potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add milk and 4 tablespoons of butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Gravy

    Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside. Strain the liquid into a saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix flour and cornstarch with a bit of cold water to make a slurry. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then whisk in the slurry. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the beef thinly and place it on the bread rolls. Drizzle with gravy and top with any additional toppings you desire, such as sautéed onions or pickles.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the hot beef sandwiches with a generous helping of mashed potatoes and extra gravy on the side.
