Slow Cooker Roast Beef Poboys With Debris Gravy Food

LITTLE JEWEL "IRISH CHANNEL" ROAST BEEF PO'BOY WITH DEBRIS GRAVY

Steps:

• For the roast beef: Preheat the oven to 270 degrees F or to 250 degrees F on a convection setting.
• Combine the cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, basil and thyme in a bowl and incorporate. Completely cover the roast with the dry rub ingredients.
• Combine the beef broth, beer and Worcestershire in a large roasting pan, then add the bay leaves, carrots, onions and celery all around the edges. Put the roast in the center. Cover pot tightly with 2 layers of aluminum foil. Bake "slow and low" until it is soft, 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove the roast and shred with a fork. Save all the meat juices in the pan for the gravy.
• For the debris gravy: Melt the butter, then add the flour a little at a time, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking, until a blonde roux forms, about 10 minutes.
• Put roast beef drippings in a pot with 2 cups shredded beef and bring to a boil, then reduce heat. (Add canned beef stock if you want it thinner.) Slowly whisk in the blonde roux and cook, whisking, until it achieves desired gravy thickness.
• New Orleans-style po'boy sandwiches are traditionally served "dressed". That means lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mayonnaise (the eggier the better!).
• You will need toasted and split French baguettes (hollow them out to make more room for the beef). Fully dress those suckers! (Add onions if you like.)
• Also, a good Louisiana-style hot sauce is recommended. Put lots of hot shredded roast beef on the sandwich and top it generously with piping hot "debris gravy". Eat it with an ice-cold beer for the authentic experience. Bon appetit!

SLOPPY ROAST BEEF PO' BOY

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.

ROAST BEEF PO' BOY WITH DEBRIS GRAVY RECIPE

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!
