Beef Manhattan Sandwich

Directions

For Gravy:

1. Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet.
2. Sprinkle and whisk in the flour, stirring for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock.
3. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and herbs.
4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes, until thickened.

For Mashed Potatoes:

6. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot.
7. Add the potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain.
8. Heat the butter and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted.
9. Add the milk mixture into the potatoes and blend with a masher or electric beater until smooth and creamy.
10. Season with salt and pepper.

For Assembly:

11. Divide the roast beef into four equal portions, placing each on a slice of bread, and topping it with another slice of bread to form four sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally.
12. Position the sandwich halves in a V-shape on a plate. Place a scoop of mashed potatoes between the sandwich halves.
13. Spoon the gravy over all. Serve immediately.
