I am really craving a classic New Orleans debris poboy, but won't be able to find exactly what I'm looking for in Dallas (though there are plenty of good beef sandwiches in town, none of them are a poboy). I figured I could make them at home this weekend. Anyone have a recipe they know and trust.

I was looking at this Emeril recipe as a starting point: LINK

That's how you're gonna have to do it.

Salt and pepper the roast, sear it in cast iron, then place the roast in the crock pot. You can add onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic at this point.

Use a gravy powder and add water if you don't have a good beef stock. Then set it on low and go to work. Come home, shred it up, and let it simmer for a little longer on the high setting.

At this point, cut your leidenheimer, pop in the oven for 45 seconds at 350°, slather with mayo, pickles, tomato, shredded lettuce, and Tabasco. Apply as much debris as you think you can handle. Don't be scared.

Get a stack of napkins, and take pics. Bump this thread later.

I know it may sound stupid to order bread online but if I were him and wanted a good poboy I probably would.

Two day, max
It'd be fine by the time he got it.

Leidenheimer is fine after a day or two when you pop it in the oven for 45 seconds.

Kind of hard to make it taste authentic if all they have is store made French bread from a Dallas grocer.

Then deglaze with water or stock and add the liquid to the crockpot.

i use the pioneer woman's recipe. Comes out nice. The key is to find a nice marbled chuck roast. Add extra garlic then the recipe calls for.


you dont need a crock pot, fwiw.

It's just a lot easier if you can't take the day off to make a poboy.

This. Most chuck roasts in stores are WAAAYYY to lean nowadays. Baking bags in the oven work well and always use extra garlic.

That looks like exactly what I was looking for, thank you!


Are there any advantages to slow cooking in the oven vs. using the crock pot? Crock pot seems way easier/more energy efficient.

I think you'll get a better flav in the cast iron pot.

Heat will be distributed from all directions.

I'm always interested to see what "debris" is at these places.... It's just pot roast.
Real debris (at least in Acadia parish) is a mixture of a bunch shite many people don't want to eat. My great grandmother made it with liver, hearts and usually some roast. Although I'm pretty sure there were sweetbreads or some other shite in there I wouldn't have ate had I known.

Was always a great gravy though.... So the question is why do they call a pot roast po boy a "debris" po boy?

Is debris in NOLA just different?

First of all, why don't y'all like hearts and livers? That's crazy.

Second, debris is what we say it is. Take your Acadia parish slop back to granny's house baw.

Ain't nobody got time fuh dat. Y'all even got Leidenheimer?
