HOT ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES & GRAVY
This is a copycat version of a dish served by a local diner in central Pennsylvania. My mom & dad used to always go there specifically to order this meal, until my mom finally nailed the recipe.

Steps:
- Prepare the Roast: Adjust the rack to the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees F. Blot any excess moisture from the roast, rub the Worcestershire sauce over the entire roast, and allow to marinate for 30 minutes, turning it twice.
- Combine the powdered garlic, onion powder, paprika, and 1 tablespoon coarse-ground pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, pressing it, and let the roast stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Rub the meat with 2 teaspoons salt, place fat side up in a shallow roasting pan, and roast for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to roast until the meat's internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F -- about 2 hours. Let the roast stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Gravy: Skim any fat from the liquid that remains in the roasting pan. Whisk the flour and 1/2 cup water together to a paste; set aside.
- Scrape the drippings from the bottom of the roasting pan, add the beef broth, and stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer. While continuously whisking, add the flour paste and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. If needed, add a little water to thin the gravy. Add remaining salt and pepper; serve warm. (I thought the gravy was a little to thin and I didn't add the extra salt or pepper.).
Tips:
- To ensure the roast beef is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C); for medium, 145°F (63°C); and for well-done, 160°F (71°C).
- For a more flavorful gravy, use the drippings from the roast beef to make the roux. This will add depth and richness to the sauce.
- If you don't have time to make the gravy from scratch, you can use a store-bought gravy mix. Just be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
- For a classic roast beef sandwich, serve it on a toasted hoagie roll with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Roast beef sandwiches are also great for leftovers. Simply reheat the roast beef and gravy and serve on your favorite bread.
Conclusion:
The home-style roast beef sandwich with gravy is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender roast beef, flavorful gravy, and toasted bread, it's a sandwich that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
