# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Start by heating olive oil in a pan on high. Brown the beef roast well on every side until it’s got a nice sear.
02 -
Put the browned beef in a Dutch oven. Pour in 237 ml beef broth. Cover and let it gently simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours till it’s super tender.
03 -
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a thick paste. Slowly pour in 474 ml beef broth along with Worcestershire sauce. Keep stirring until it thickens up. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
04 -
Take the beef off the heat and let it chill for a few minutes. Cut thin slices across the grain for the best texture.
05 -
On each plate, put a piece of white bread. Top that with sliced beef and a big spoon of mashed potatoes. Pour hot gravy all over.
06 -
If you want, sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve right away.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
A meat thermometer helps you cook the beef just how you like it.
02 -
If the sauce is too thick, use less flour in the paste — add more to thicken it up.
03 -
Serve with a fresh salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
