Favorite Seasonings  
French Bread  
Lettuce  
Tomatoes  
Instructions:  
Season your roast with salt and pepper. You can also use meat tenderizer, a type of  
season all, onion and garlic powder, or whatever seasonings you like. Once the  
seasonings are rubbed in well, roll the roast in flour. Heat about ½ inch of oil in a large  
pot, then brown the roast on all sides. When the roast is very well browned, add enough  
water to the pot to just cover the meat. Add a coupleof beef bouillon cubes. Add salt,  
pepper, and other favorite seasonings to the water, then cover, lower the fire and simmer  
for a couple of hours.  
After 2 hours, remove the roast and place it on a cutting board to cool some. Next slice  
and cut the roast up into thin bite-size pieces. Return meat to liquid in pot, stir in a couple  
of packs of brown gray mix—can be the kind that comes with onion bits or mushrooms.  
Let the mixture and the meat simmer for another hour on low, stirring occasionally to  
make sure the gravy doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.  
To serve, slice off a piece of French bread about 5 inches long. Slice it in half, so you  
have a top and bottom for your sandwich. Spoon meat and gravy over the bottom slice,  
then place sliced lettuce and tomatoes on top of the roast. Take the top piece of French  
bread and coat it with plenty of mayonnaise, then place it on top of the lettuce and  
tomatoes. Now you have a real southern dressed roast beef po-boy. (Note. All good roast  
beef po-boys are really messy, so plenty of paper towels should be at hand.)  
Author's Bio:  
Charlotte Dillon was born in Louisiana. As a child she feared bedtime, when the  
lights were turned out and her room settled into darkness. There was a way not to notice  
the slow movement that she could swear was near her closet, or the soft breaths that she  
could almost hear under her bed—make up a story. Each night, while she waited for sleep  
to come, she invented characters, designed worlds, and slipped away from the darkness  
and her childish fears.  
As an adult, Charlotte still makes up bedtime tales, but now she has a perfect  
place to share those adventures, in her books. She spends her days as a freelance writer,  
and evenings and weekends working on her tales of heroes, horses, and the kind of  
romance that dreams are made of.
