Best Beefy Poboy Bites Recipes
THE ROAST BEEF PO'BOY (AND HOW TO MAKE ANY PO'BOY)
This version is VERY authentic. I'm talking the neighborhood poboy shops, not the fancy restaurants or the tourist traps in the Quarter. If you've ever been to Johnny's on St Louis in the French Quarter (which is NOT a tourist trap, though tourists and locals a like are always packing the place), this will take you back there babe! Whenever I really get home-sick (even though I was raised in MI, NOLA feels more like home)- I like to make these. The bread is KEY tho, you just can't get the same texture as down there anywhere else- but I try to get as close as possible. You want the bread to be crusty on the outside but soft with just a little tiny bit of chewiness when you bite down into it. The lettuce, pickle, mayo and tomato is what is called "dressed". You may add cheese or hot sauce. It's messy, but SO good!! Cook time does not include time it takes to make/cook roast beef.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Cut french loaf in half lengthwise and place in oven for 4-5 minutes or until LIGHTY toasted. Spread butter on both the inside halves of toasted bread. It should melt on hot bread.
- In a sauce pan whisk the vegetable oil with the flour on med-high heat for about 5 minutes or until just lightly browned. Add your beef au jus to your roux and whisk until it thickens slightly- about 1 minute. Should only be thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon, add more stock/au jus to thin out a bit if needed.
- Toss sliced roast beef with thin gravy until evenly coated and heated through.
- Spread mayo on top inside half of buttered and toasted french loaf.
- Place dill pickles on bottom inside half of toasted buttered french loaf.
- Evenly place roasted beef on top of dill pickles with tongs.
- Add lettuce and tomato.
- You may also add american or swiss cheese and or hot sauce.
- Cut into 1/4s. Serve with kettle chips such as Zapps.
- Hint- you can make ANY poboy be it fried oyster, fried shrimp, fried catfish, grilled chicken breast, french fries, chicken parm, meatloaf, hamburger, smoked sausage you name it! Just follow the bread toasting and buttering instructions, and make sure you "dress" it with lettuce, tomato, mayo and dill pickles! You can eat it "undressed" also. It's more about the type of bread and using cajun/creole recipes of fried seafood or meats in the main filling. The traditional cheeses used are swiss, american, and provolone. Hot sauce and cocktail sauce for fried seafood. Ketchup is often used as a condiment also.

ROAST BEEF PO' BOY WITH DEBRIS GRAVY RECIPE
This is a recipe I found on www.nolacuisine.com, which I adapted to make the gravy (as it didn't really have a flour slurry to thicken the gravy). Here is what is stated about the recipe: "There is nothing quite as soul satisfying (or messy) than a good old Roast Beef Po' Boy in New Orleans. The best way to judge a good one is by the number of napkins you used to keep your chin semi-dry (Seriously, make sure you are stocked up on napkins.) My favorite place in New Orleans for a Roast Beef Po' Boy is Parasol's in the Irish Channel." "I've found that I like a mixture of Beef Stock, Chicken Stock, and water for my braising liquid. The reason I don't use straight Beef Stock is that I make an extremely rich one, and I reduce my gravy instead of using a thickening agent. When all is said and done, the gravy was just too much of a good thing, too intense. This way comes out just right. Extremely Beefy and delicious!"

Steps:
- Cut small slits into the roast, about every 3 inches, try not to pierce all the way to the bottom. Stuff the sliced garlic into the slits.
- Season the Roast very liberally on all sides with the Salt & Black Pepper, season with Cayenne to your taste, I don't use much.
- Heat the fat in a heavy bottomed Dutch Oven over high heat, when the oil starts to smoke, wait a few more seconds, then carefully add the Roast cut side down. Brown very well on all sides, without burning it. Remove to a plate.
- Drain off all but 1 Tbsp of the fat in the pan, add the onions and carrots, cook until the onions just start to brown, place the roast back in the pan, then add the stocks. Finish, if necessary, with enough water to bring the cooking liquid 3/4 of the way up the roast. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then back down to a simmer. Simmer covered for 3-4 hours or until the meat falls apart by staring at it.
- For the Debris Gravy:.
- Mix the flour, water/stock and seasoning in a jar or container to thoroughly mix all the ingredients, you don't wants lumps of flour so shake it like crazy.
- Carve the meat into very thin slices, it will be hard to do and will fall apart, that is good. All of the bits and pieces, that fall off are your Debris (pronounced DAY-bree.) Add all of the bits and chunks to you cooking liquid. Heat the liquid/bits until boiling, no slowing add in the flour slurry mixture until you reach the desired thickness, may need to add more stock/water if it gets too thick.
- For the Po' Boy:.
- New Orleans Style French Bread (Po' Boys are generally about 9-10 inches long per sandwich. As you can see I made mine a bit smaller, shame on me.) Cut the bread 3/4 of the way through leaving a hinge (as seen in the background of the pic.) I find the hinge makes for slightly, easier eating.
- Shredded Lettuce (or Cabbage a la Mothers).
- Mayonnaise.
- Roast Beef (see above).
- Debris Gravy.
- Slather the bread with a very generous portion of Mayonnaise on the inside of the upper and lower halves. Place about a cup of Shredded Lettuce on the bottom half. Cover the lettuce with a generous portion of the "sliced" Beef. Drown the beef with Debris Gravy.
- Grab a stack of napkins, a cold beer and enjoy!

NEW ORLEANS STYLE SLOPPY ROAST BEEF POBOY (EASY!!)
If you ever visit New Orleans, at some point in time, you must get a good, sloppy roast beef poboy. The difference between a poboy and a submarine sandwich is the bread. Poboys are made on a very light and crusty french bread. I like my bread heated to where the crust is very crispy, yet the inside is soft. That usually takes about 3-4 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The proper way of eating this is to let the gravy drip onto the fries when you take a bite, then eat the fries and gravy. Mmmmmmm!!! :)
