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.

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.

    Used this recipe and it turned out wonderful! I did the browning and prep in a skillet and then transferred it all to my crock pot to cook on low for 10 hours. All the ingredients were the same except I used a tablespoon of hot sauce plus some creole seasoning. I also doubled the amount of liquid used in the end because I wanted it juicier and then saved the rest in the freezer to use to make soup later, it tasted amazing so I couldnโ€™t bare to throw it away. Great recipe, thank you!

    I am so excited to find this recipe, and can’t wait to try it! My husband and I attended a NOLA wedding a few years ago, and they served Roast Beef Debris over grits at the reception, and we loved it. Went out to eat the next day, and ordered it at the restaurant. I had to ask the groom’s mother what it was called! Thanks so much for the recipe, and while I was on your website, I also printed out several other recipes.

    My recommendation is to get the ole Crock Pot out and Google Mississippi Roast, it’s the only thing I cook in a Crock pot. Make the day before, as the extra day of sitting just makes the flavors that much better. It really couldn’t be easier. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/260697/mississippi-pot-roast/
    I use a packet of dry Italian Salad Dressing instead of Buttermilk dry dressing that’s in the recipe.

    Good luck and enjoy!

    Using the technology hotels can reap greater profits and be cost effective, satisfy customers, provide value in their mind
    and gain value in turn when it comes to revenues – In hospitals
    this technology will likely be useful mainly because it will guve yyou an excellent varoety of programming to patients specially those patints wwho are
    restricted to their beds and also have noo other activity to
    do. As the quantity of subscribers to this form of service increases,
    the things they say expect a greater quantity
    of products (and much better products) to be presented
    to decide on from. The VOD servoce is really
