Makes 8 servings (it depends on how much you put in each sandwich, you may
get 10)
Oven 325 degrees Fahrenheit at 25 minutes per pound of meat (That's about
165 degrees Celsius at 55 minutes per kilogram for you metric speakers)
INGREDIENTS
1 5 to 7 pound (2.3 - 3.2 kg) rump roast
2 cups (473 ml) of boiling water
2 bouillon cubes (beef flavor)
1 teaspoon each: dried marjoram, thyme and oregano
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or more if you like it hot, or use less if
you like it more mild
salt and pepper to taste, go easy on the salt because the bouillon is salty!
2 Tablespoons (30ml) Worcestershire Sauce
1 or more garlic cloves, I use at least 6, peeled and mashed
1/2 (120 ml) cup, chopped green pepper
Italian or Vienna bread, French or any hard, crusty bread, you will need at
least 2 loaves, slice down the center, lengthwise, but not all the way
through to the other side, then cut in serving size pieces.
DIRECTIONS
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. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees (165 C),
allowing 25 minutes per pound (55 min per kilo) , roast will be rare. Cool,
and slice very thin, I use an electric slicer to do this. To the drippings
in the pan, add the boiling water, bouillon cubes or granules, (1 bouillon
cube for each cup of boiling water used). Add marjoram, thyme, oregano, hot
pepper sauce, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, and chopped
green pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the thinly sliced beef and cover.
Marinate in gravy in refrigerator overnight. Next day, heat thoroughly, and
serve warm on the French bread, along with a
crisp, green salad and 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. We also like to put a lot of gravy on the bread before
adding the meat. Sometimes we add barbecue sauce to the sandwich before
eating it, for a different flavor, not a lot, just a touch, about 1 Tablespoon
or less to taste.
