Instructions
Slice your cold roast beef thinly on the cross grain.
8 Lrg Sliced Roast Beef
Separate any vegetables from the jus left and add the jus to a hot fry pan.
Any Vegetables
Heat the jus thoroughly. Add the beef stock to the jus and mix thoroughly.
All Jus, 1 cup Beef Broth
While the stock/jus blend is heating up mix the cornstarch into the water. Blend well.
2 tbsp Cornstarch, 1/4 cup Water
Add the cornstarch blend to the pan slowly. You will note the cornstarch blend is cooking/thickening the just blend. Use only as much as needed to thicken your gravy.
Turn the heat in the pan down and lay the beef slices onto the gravy to heat through.
Optional: While the beef is heating use another fry pan to heat the remaining cold vegetables.
Once the vegetables are heated assemble the beef sandwiches.
One piece of bread on the bottom, lay beef on top of the bread, top with another slice of bread.
8 slices Bread
Spoon the gravy from the pan of beef on top of the sandwich.
Add a scoop of heated vegetables on the side and serve.
Special Notes:
For the bread to hold up to the gravy stale bread or a drier sourdough, rye, pumpkernickle bread would be suitable. For the traditional soft diner style hot gravy sandwich a simple white bread will suffice.
