Roast Beef Po’ Boy with homemade beef gravy. Lips will be smacking as lightly toasted bread crunches from the hungry eaters that have been pacing around the kitchen in anticipation because the gravy fills the room and your mouth with anticipation. The beef creates a steaming scent of roasted deliciousness as you approach the first bite. If feeling bold, just add some mayonnaise with horseradish to create a filling juicy sandwich that will require a few napkins. I highly recommend using garden fresh tomatoes from local farmers market if you can still find them. They will add juicy bursts to the gravy soaked bread and complete the foodlicious experience.
When you are craving for a homemade Po Boy sandwich and don’t want to be in the kitchen all day, Instant Pot will save you time and money. Preparation and cook time is all under 2 hours.
