Step-by-step
- Sprinkle 1 to 2 pounds of top round beef roast with meat tenderizer or salt. Use your hands to pat the seasoning into the meat.
- Place the meat in a slow cooker for about 6 to 8 hours, depending on the size of your roast.
- If the roast beef appears to be done, you may turn off the slow cooker and let the roast sit in its juices, until you are ready to prepare your sandwiches.
- About 1 hour before you prepare your sandwiches, start making your whipped potatoes.
- When ready to make sandwiches, remove the cooked top round roast from the slow cooker and place it on a platter.
- Slice it into thin (about 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch) slices.
- Use the juices left in the slow cooker to make rich roast beef gravy.
- When you have your gravy made, your potatoes whipped, and your roast beef sliced, toast 2 slices of whole grain bread for each sandwich.
- On a serving plate, place one slice of toast.
- Put a few thin slices of roast beef on top of the toast.
- Cover with the second piece of toast, forming a sandwich.
- Use a bread knife to slice the sandwich down the middle into two halves.
- Spread the halves apart, and place a generous serving of whipped potatoes between the two halves.
- Now, drizzle a generous amount of gravy over the two sandwich halves and the whipped potatoes.
- Serve immediately.
