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.
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 DEBRIS
Steps:
- Cut open the bread, spread on some butter and toast. Build your debris with desired amount of mayo, mustard, red onion, lettuce and tomato. Don't forget to salt and pepper your tomato. Place the warm Roast Beef on top and top with Gravy. Enjoy!
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Place the beef in large pan or roaster, fat-side up. Salt and pepper liberally. Put 1-inch water in the bottom of the pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 12 hours.
- Remove the beef from the pan and place on a large cutting board. Try to use one with a drip well. Allow the beef to rest at least 30 minutes so that the juices will redistribute. Set aside the juices to cool and reserve for the gravy. The roast will be super tender and all will become debris. Be sure to remove all fat, veins and tendons. All leftovers can be frozen for later use.
- Separate the beef fat from the juices. Place about half of the fat in a heavy-bottomed saucepot and melt with a low heat. Freeze the remainder for later use.
- Use just enough flour to soak up the fat. You are now making a roux. Allow the flour to cook, stirring continually, to brown slightly. Add salt and pepper. Careful, you can always add salt. Add about half of the juice from the beef and stir. This will thicken. Adjust as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Again, freeze the remainder for later use.

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!
