Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use different types of bread?
Absolutely! While Poboy bread or French bread is traditional, you can use a baguette, hoagie roll, or any other crusty bread you prefer.
How do I make the roast beef and gravy?
For the best results, use a homemade roast beef recipe or store-bought deli-style roast beef. Warm it up in a rich gravy before adding it to the sandwich.
Is there a substitute for jalapeño in the mayo?
If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute the jalapeño with diced pickles or pepperoncini for a tangy kick without the heat.
Can I make this sandwich in advance?
This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prep the jalapeño mayo and have all ingredients ready to assemble quickly.
What sides go well with this Poboy?
Classic sides like French fries, potato chips, or a simple salad pair perfectly with this hearty sandwich.
