THE BIG EASY BEEF PO' BOYS
Tradition says that the Po' Boy was created as a free meal for the striking transportation workers during the labor strike of 1929 in New Orleans. It can be filled with anything from potatoes to shrimp or oysters, ham, and beef. All tucked inside a nice loaf of freshly baked French bread. My research indicates that a lettuce...

Steps:
- 1. Chef's Note: This beef Po' Boy sandwich is based on some research I did over the weekend, and my interpretation of what an original Po' Boy might have tasted like way back in 1929, when it was first conceived. The Po' Boy of 1929 was a simple sandwich of beef, bread, and gravy. It came "dressed" (lettuce and tomato) or "plain." The one thing that I did discover is that the Po' Boy sandwich of today, has been elevated to the status of Sainthood. And after making this version... I agree. One of the essential parts of the Po' Boy is the bread... you must have long sticks of French bread (I found that baguettes or batards works best).
- 2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, place the onion, mushrooms, garlic, and parsley. Blend until smooth, and set aside.
- 3. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- 4. Add the vegetable oil to a large pot, and heat over medium high, until shimmering.
- 5. Add the beef roast, and sear on all sides, and then transfer to a plate.
- 6. Add the onion mixture to the pot and then simmer over medium heat until most of the liquid evaporates.
- 7. Add the beef stock, and stir; scraping up any brown bits (fonds) that are on the bottom of the pot.
- 8. Add the liquid to your slow cooker, and then add the beef roast, and any accumulated juices.
- 9. Cook until it's fall-apart tender.
- 10. Chef's Note: The temperatures on slow cookers are determined by the manufacture, and they do vary between models. My model, on high, took about 7 hours to get to the tenderness I wanted.
- 11. Tradition dictates that the roast should be so tender that it will fall apart with a hard stare.
- 12. Take a French roll (freshly baked would be excellent), and cut in half lengthwise.
- 13. Spread the mayonnaise on the bottom of the rolls, and then add a generous portion of the shredded beef.
- 14. Use a ladle to add some of the au jus to the beef.
- 15. Chef's Note: The more au just you add the soggier the bread will be... I like mine REALLY soggy.
- 16. Lay some sliced pickles on top.
- 17. If you're dressing your Po' Boy, add some shredded iceberg lettuce, and some thinly sliced tomatoes. Maybe a slice or two of provolone cheese (optional).
- 18. Serve them immediately, with the hot sauce on the side.
- 19. Chef's Tip: Some people like a bit more body to the au jus, and you can accomplish by the addition of a blond rue. But you will need to do this before adding the shredded beef back into the liquid. I like mine thin; like a French Dip.
- 20. Chef's Note: I like so much of the au jus that when I'm eating the sandwich, it's falling apart in my hands, and the juice is running down my arms... but I don't care.
- 21. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
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.

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.
MAHONY'S BEEF PO' BOYS
Benjamin Wicks, proprietor of Mahony's Po-Boy Shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans, which opened in the summer of 2008, is a raver and ranter with the heart of an old-timer. "Why don't people care about making great po' boys?" he asked The Times, rhetorically, a year later. And then he gave us a terrific recipe that will take a little time to pull off, but results in a beef Po' Boy sandwich of uncommon excellence. Think of it as project food for a festive weekend lunch, and your guests will thank you. Add cheese and French fries for added pow.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour in a large, wide bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add beef, dust well on all sides and shake off excess.
- Place a large, heavy Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add beef and sear well on all sides. Transfer beef to a platter and set aside.
- Add celery, onions, peppers, carrots and garlic to pan; if necessary, add more oil. Sauté until vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add wine and 3 cups water. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add rosemary, thyme, bay leaf and parsley. Stir well, add beef, and stir again to mix well.
- Cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is very tender, about three hours. Transfer beef to a deep platter and keep warm. Remove and discard bay leaf. Using a hand-held immersion blender or stand blender, purée vegetables and any remaining bits of meat in pan juices to make sauce. Cut beef into slices. Slice each bread loaf in half lengthwise and crosswise, spread one side with mayonnaise, thickly layer in meat, wet with gravy, and top with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.
