SMOKED BRISKET SANDWICH
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat smoker or charcoal grill (using indirect setup) to 250°F.
- Wipe down brisket flat with a paper towel and then rub yellow mustard all over to coat. This will act as a binder for the rub to adhere to.
- Season brisket with kosher salt followed by black pepper. Meat should be completely covered.
- Allow to sit for 20 minutes and up to overnight in the fridge.
- Place brisket and allow to smoke undisturbed for 2-3 hours and then check for bark development. If too dry spritz with apple cider vinegar.
- Continue to smoke for another 2 hours and then wrap with butcher paper and spritz with apple cider vinegar.
- Continue smoking until very tender; when inserting a probe there should be zero resistance. Internal temperature should be around 180°F.
- Allow to rest 45-60min before slicing.
- To make the crispy fried onions, cut a large white onion into 1/8” rings.
- Soak in buttermilk for 1 hour.
- While onions are soaking, combine 1 cup each of flour and cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons of black pepper to a mixing bowl.
- Mix to combine.
- In a tabletop deep fryer or large pot, heat 8 cups of vegetable oil to 350°.
- Drain onions from buttermilk and toss in flour mixture to thoroughly coat.
- Fry in batches for 45-60 seconds or until golden brown.
- Drain on a wire rack or paper towels and immediately season with kosher salt.
- Set aside.
- Toast brioche bun in a little bit of butter and set aside.
- Slice rested brisket against the grain 1/8” thick and stack 7oz or so on the bottom of toasted brioche bun.
- Drizzle a good 2 oz of FLAVORTOWN HICKORY BBQ SAUCE over the brisket and top with a good handful of crispy fried onions.
- Top sandwich with top bun and serve with your favorite Cole slaw, pickles, and more sauce for dipping.
