Roast Beef Debris- this savory braised meat is perfect for making a New Orleans Po Boy Sandwich. It has tons of juicy, garlicky flavor.

To make Roast Beef Debris , a chuck roast is braised and slow cooked in a garlic-flavored liquid until it gets fall-apart tender. A portion of the cooking liquid is boiled down until it thickens and its flavor intensifies and then it serves as a gravy for the meat.

A Roast Beef Debris Po Boy is ideal for a Mardi gras party. The meat can be made a day or two in advance and then reheated. My favorite way to eat it is as a sandwich in French Bread but it is also delicious served over mashed potatoes or rice.

Tips For Making Roast Beef Debris
I use chuck roast, but Eye of Round can also be used.
To make Po Boys, use French bread (or sub rolls), shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, a little mayonnaise, and maybe a few pickles.
You don’t have to serve this Roast Beef Debris as a Po Boy. It’s also good over rice or mashed potatoes.
Storage
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days or they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
