Step-by-Step Instructions for Cajun Roast Beef Po Boy
  1. Brown the beef by heating oil in a pan, season with Cajun seasoning, and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Build the flavor base by sautéing sliced onions for 2-3 minutes, then add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Choose your cooking method: stovetop (2-4 hours), oven at 275°F for 2-4 hours, or slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.
  4. Shred the beef once fork-tender, letting it rest first.
  5. Prepare the gravy by boiling the cooking liquid, mix cornstarch with water, and add to the liquid to thicken.
  6. Combine the shredded beef with the thickened gravy and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Assemble the Po Boys by slicing hoagie buns, spreading mayo, adding beef mixture, and topping with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
