Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Seasoning the Beef

    Rub the beef roast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Roasting the Beef

    Place the seasoned beef roast in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) and roast for approximately 3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Baste the beef with beef broth every hour.

  3. 3

    Resting the Beef

    Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Reserve the drippings and any juices for the gravy.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 4

    Making the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 5 minutes until it turns a golden brown color.

  2. 5

    Adding Broth

    Slowly whisk in the reserved beef broth from the roast, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Seasoning the Gravy

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and keep warm.

Poboy Assembly

  1. 7

    Preparing the Bread

    Slice the French bread rolls lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.

  2. 8

    Assembling the Poboy

    Layer the sliced roast beef into the bread, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles.

  3. 9

    Adding Gravy

    Generously ladle hot gravy over the assembled poboys before serving.
