Open Faced Roast Beef
- 2 lb Rare Deli Roast Beef (cheap is fine!)
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 packages Mushrooms (whatever's on sale but they should be sliced and this is not a required ingredient)
- 4 envelope Low-sodium beef gravy mix
- 1 cup Beef broth, divided
- 1 tbsp Corn starch
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Garlic
- 1 as needed Potatoes (I make my own but instant is fine if you prefer)
- 1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
- 5 lb Potatoes
- 1/2 cup Real butter (seriously, have you SEEN the ingredients in that supposed "healthy" crap?)
- 1 as needed Half-and-half, heavy cream or, I guess, milk
- 10 slice Bread, toasted
- Peel the potatoes as needed.
- If they're red potatoes you only need to remove the eyes.
- Cut into equal sized pieces and put in water to boil for mashed potatoes.
- As a general rule, for medium-sized chunks, it takes about 15 to 20 min for potatoes to be ready to mash.
- Add a little bit of beef broth (maybe a half cup or so) to the bottom of a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Maybe about a half-inch to cover the bottom.
- To the broth add your mushrooms and your onions.
- On top of this add your roast beef which is rare.
- Turn on low.
- As this warms up mixed together Beef broth, cornstarch, cumin, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Stir well.
- Put aside for later.
- Once the beef mushrooms and onions begin to get warm in the skillet or Dutch oven, turn up to a high heat, add the beef broth mixture and stir.
- This will thicken it.
- While this is heating up mix together the four envelopes of gravy mix.
- I use low-sodium because I don't like salt but if you like salt choose one that's just a regular one.
- I don't make my own gravy because I don't like all the fat content in it.
- (Tip: I use a small amount of water to create a paste, first, which eliminates lumps.
- Then I add the rest of the water as indicated on instructions)
- Let this mixture come to a boil and reduce down to low because everything is already cooked.
- Now all you're waiting for is the delicious potatoes to get done see you can mash them.
- The meat, mushrooms, and onions are already done as I said, so just keep them on low so they will stay warm.
- Make sure you don't let them stick to the bottom!
- Meanwhile prepare your mashed potatoes that you can serve with the mushroom gravy or brown gravy or whatever you've chosen to put in with your roast beef.
- Toast two pieces of bread per serving.
- Make sure to put the roast beef mushrooms and onions on top of the toasted bread.
- Seriously saturate that toady with gravy.
- Really.
