Beef Gravy

Made for the first time 4/12/05... Got an A++ from Jan for hot roast beef sandwiches. (Used chuck roast cooked on the egg and sliced at #3 on the slicer. Could be thicker if you want. Was very tender. I heated the beef in the microwave first, kept it hot in the oven with pilot.

I also added mushrooms to the gravy... See optional instruction.
