Blue Cheese Beef and Fries image

Top oven fries with the works-tender beef, broccoli, brown gravy, and a bit of blue cheese. You can use leftover roast beef, such as part of the extra Tuscan Braised Beef (page 172), or buy the lowest-fat, lowest-sodium cooked beef you can find.

Yield serves 4, 1 1/4 cups per serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

Olive oil spray
4 medium red potatoes (about 1 1/3 pounds), cut into 1/8- to 1/4-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups thinly sliced cooked beef from Tuscan Braised Beef or other low-sodium cooked roast beef (about 8 ounces), all visible fat discarded
2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed
1 cup bottled fat-free brown gravy
1 1/2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil spray. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • In a cup, stir together the garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Sprinkle over the potatoes.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Arrange the beef and broccoli on the potatoes. Pour the gravy on top. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture is warmed through. Sprinkle with the blue cheese.
  • Make fast work of slicing the potatoes for this dish by using the very fine julienne blade of a mandoline or the french-fry blade of a food processor.
