A po’boy is a traditional sandwich from Louisiana. It typically consists of fried seafood or meat, such as roast beef. This variation uses brisket. The brisket is cooked with onions, to add a little more flavor.

It is the ideal vehicle for using up leftover brisket. The brisket is heated on a griddle before going into the sandwich. The sandwich is kept simple, topped with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and a little mayonnaise.

If you’re looking to spice things up a bit, add a little hot sauce to the mayonnaise. Or, make individual sandwiches using hot dog buns or small rolls.
