Open Faced Beef Sandwich

For dinner tonight I made open faced beef sandwiches with one of the leftover steaks from when my folks were here. It was easy and delicious.

Open Faced Beef Sandwich
Serves 2

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
2 cups beef broth (I used Better Than Bouillon)
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
¼ tsp black pepper
Leftover steak, about 10 oz cooked, sliced thinly
Bread of your choice (I used pita since that’s what I had 😛 )

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. When it just starts to foam, add the flour and whisk to coat completely, making a roux. Add the beef broth, thyme, and pepper, and whisk again to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the steak slices. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the steak is warmed through. Serve over bread.
