Time 11h30m

Yield beef for about 10 po'boys

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces peeled California garlic
5 pounds choice rump roast
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 quart water
Serving suggestion: Leidenheimer French Bread (or any French bread), cut into 6-inch or 10-inch rolls, split and toasted; mayonnaise, lettuce, dill pickle and tomato slices for dressing the sandwiches

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Stuff half of the garlic into the roast. Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper. Put the remaining garlic in the bottom of a roasting pan. Set roast fat-side up on top of garlic and add water to the bottom of the pan.
Bake, uncovered, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F. Refrigerate the roast and liquid overnight.
The next day, skim off any fat from the top of the liquid. Heat the liquid on the stove until it reaches the desired consistency for a gravy. Thinly slice the roast and add to the gravy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If you like, serve the beef in French bread with mayonnaise, lettuce, dill pickle slices and tomato slices.

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds beef eye of round roast
5 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups hot water
2 bay leaves
1/2 bell pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 loaf crusty French bread
Mayonnaise, for serving
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
Sliced tomatoes, for serving
Sliced dill pickles, for serving

Steps:

Cut 5 slits in the roast and stuff with the garlic cloves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear the roast on all sides until a rich brown color. Add the hot water, bay leaves and bell pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer until the roast is very tender, about 3 hours. During cooking, you want to make sure you keep the level of liquid that you started with. You may have to add up to another 1 1/2 cups water. Do not let the liquid cook out.
Transfer the roast to a cutting board to rest. Discard the bay leaves and bell pepper from the pot. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking, until thickened. You may need to add more flour until you reach the desired thickness of gravy. Be careful not to add too much, since it will thicken faster than you may expect. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the bread down the center and warm slightly in the oven. Thinly slice the roast. Spoon the gravy over the cut sides of the bread and spread with some mayonnaise. Load the bottom half with sliced beef and top with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bread. Cut into 6 pieces and wrap with butcher paper or parchment paper.
