How to Cook a Beef Boy

Thank y'all, Justin Kennedy. In our quest to recreate archetype New Orleans dishes, the manager of Parkway Bakery and Tavern was infinitely helpful. Months ago, he shared what he said was 90 percent of the Parkway recipe for its famous po-boys. After I fabricated it, I called him and said, "Chef Justin, when I brand that gravy from the recipe you lot gave me, what tin can I add together to it to make it gustation ameliorate?"

To his infinite credit, he helped me, and all those who want to make roast beefiness into po-boys -- or but a neat pot roast. Kennedy gave me the home-style version of the beef that the restaurant cooks every day, in hundreds of pounds. They don't use the vegetables, only the hugger-mugger ingredients in the sauce are beef broth, Kitchen Bouquet and (a get-go for In Judy's Kitchen) canned foam of mushroom soup.

In our video debuting today, immature New Orleanian Diya Chacko notes that she hasn't eaten meat for several years. She dutifully prepared to take a seize with teeth of the sandwich, but when she heard where the recipe came from, she was happy to eat the whole thing! The sandwich was a big favorite in the past.

The beef is a archetype braise, a tougher cutting of meat long-cooked over depression heat until perfectly tender. To develop more season, the beef is seared later on a massage with seasonings.

To piece the beef very thinly for po-boys, information technology is cooked a day ahead of fourth dimension, which too gives the cook the opportunity to remove fat from the sauce. French bread is toasted, to help the bread stand up to the sauce.

Real New Orleans French staff of life loaves greatly heighten the finished dish, but information technology will still be good even if yous are outside the region and can't go the bread. The yield of the recipe depends on how lavishly you add the beefiness to each sandwich.

To serve this equally a pot roast, add vegetables, including some peeled potatoes cut in chunks, 90 minutes or so into the cooking time. Exist sure they are tender when you examination the meat after three hours.

Iii things are a must: A very heavy pot; fourth dimension in the kitchen, and lots and lots of napkins when you lot serve the poor boys.

Thank you again, Justin Kennedy.
