# Ingredients:
→ Bread
01 -
6 slices frozen garlic Texas Toast
→ Sauce
02 -
1 packet au jus gravy mix
03 -
240 ml cold filtered water
→ Meat and Cheese
04 -
300 g thinly sliced deli roast beef
05 -
150 g sliced provolone cheese
→ Garnish
06 -
1 teaspoon dried parsley
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
Place the frozen garlic Texas Toast slices on the prepared tray and bake for 8 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even crispness.
03 -
In a saucepan, whisk the au jus gravy mix with cold filtered water and simmer over medium heat, stirring until smooth and glossy.
04 -
Add the sliced roast beef to the simmering au jus just until heated through to maintain juiciness.
05 -
Place half a slice of provolone cheese on each cooked toast, layer warm roast beef over the cheese, then top with remaining provolone slices to cover fully.
06 -
Return the assembled toasts to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles; finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley.
07 -
Transfer the toasts to plates and serve alongside small bowls of warm au jus for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Warm the roast beef gently in the au jus to avoid drying out the meat.
02 -
Cook Texas Toast on the middle rack for crisp edges and a soft center.
03 -
Layer cheese beneath and above the roast beef for optimal melt and flavor.
04 -
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to two days; reheat toast under the broiler and au jus separately.
