Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 garlic clove, I use at least 6, peeled & mashed .
  • 1 tsp dried oregano .
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes .
  • 1 loaf Italian bread or French bread or crusty bread .
  • 1 tsp dried thyme .
  • 2 c boiling water .
  • 1 tsp hot pepper sauce (or more) .
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram .
  • 2 tbsps worcestershire sauce .
  • 1 sliced green pepper .
  • 1 rump roast .
  • salt & pepper, go easy on the salt because the bouillon is salty

Directions
  • Step #1 Place roast on a rack, in an open roasting pan, I use an 9" X 13" (230mm x 330mm) baking pan with the rack in it.
  • Step #2 Pre-heat oven to 325F degrees (165 C), allowing 25 mins per lb (55 min per kilo) , roast will be rare.
  • Step #3 Cool, & slice very thin, I use an electric slicer to do this.
  • Step #4 To the drippings in the pan, bouillon cubes or granules, add the boiling water, (1 bouillon cube for each c of boiling water used).
  • Step #5 Add marjoram, salt, thyme, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, pepper, garlic cloves, & sliced green pepper.
  • Step #6 Simmer for 15 mins.
  • Step #7 Add the thinly sliced beef & cover.
  • Step #8 Marinate in gravy in refrigerator overnight.
  • Step #9 Next day, along with a crisp, & serve warm on the French bread, heat thoroughly, green salad & plenty of napkins! Note: Our family loves the gravy so much that I usually double the gravy recipe so there is plenty to dip the beef sandwich into.
  • Step #10 We also like to put a lot of gravy on the bread before adding the meat.
  • Step #11 Sometimes we add barbecue sauce to the sandwich before eating it, just a touch, not a lot, for a different flavor, about 1 Tablespoon or less to taste.
