New Orleans Po' Boy

This is a mouth watering sandwich. You can make your own bread which I would assume similar to Cuban bread, french was to hard of crust,or just buy it at your normal supermarket. I know this is a long process, but believe you me it's worth it.
MEAT
1 small roast
1 cup of red wine
1 tbsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
Loaf of Cuban bread
sliced tomatoes
mayo
shredded lettuce


GRAVY
3 TBSP MELTED BUTTER
3 TBSP FLOUR
1/4 TSP SALT



When you go to purchase roast ask butcher or meat counter person to take roast and thinly slice it for you, or if you have a slicer at home just get the roast whole. For this exercise we will focus on you buying sliced meat.
Place meat in a pot and cover with water and other spices and cook for about 25-30 minutes. (don't throw water away) once this done pull out and let cool for 15 minutes. In a medium size bowl place gravy ingredients into bowl an mix until it's nice and pasty. once this done scoop into hot reserved water and turn onto medium heat and cook for 10 minutes or until semi thick gravy is formed.
Once gravy is formed and meat is cooled place meat into baking pan or casserole dish and pour gravy over and place into 300 degree oven for about an hour. You will be able to see that the meat is tender, if you wish you could take a spoon and stir meat so that it breaks into tinier pieces but that's up to you.
Keep oven on, cut loaf into sections that you want for sandwiches and then cut a top and bottom. Now spread mayo on both sides and place tomatoes,and lettuce on bread and place in oven for 2 minutes.Once out of oven place meat onto bread and enjoy. Beware it gets messy!
