smoked brisket sandwich with slaw & provolone
So, what do you do with 10 pounds of brisket? Well, you could portion it off, and freeze it… Brisket freezes quite well. Or you could have a party, and make some awesome smoked brisket sandwiches. I choose the latter. So, Yummy. If you have the brisket, these sandwiches are simple to assemble, and tasty as all get-out. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Step 3Chef’s Note: Everyone, once in a lifetime, should smoke a nice packer-cut brisket. Trust me, it’s a 15-hour labor of love that you’ll fondly remember for the rest of your lives… Or not. I usually start the process around 10p, put a blanket in an outdoor sun chair, get a good book, and get ‘er done. If that’s not your cup of tea, you can always purchase some brisket from your local butcher. Just make sure that it doesn’t come in a package swimming in some arcane BBQ sauce. I just want brisket… I’ll decide what sauce to go with it.

Step 4Chef’s Note: The coleslaw is an important part of this recipe, and it’s fairly easy to make. You want a slaw with simple flavors. I want to taste the slaw, but I also want to taste the brisket. Here’s an example of the type of coleslaw that works well with this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html

Step 5Take the sliced brisket and brush the BBQ sauce on both sides.
-
Step 6Add the brisket to a pan over a low warming heat.
-
Step 7Cover, and allow it to warm for 10 minutes.
-
Step 8Chef’s Note: I don’t want to cook the brisket; just heat it up. Plus I don’t want it drowned in BBQ sauce, I just want a hint of flavor. If people want more sauce they can add it at the table.

Step 9While the brisket is warming, slice the buns in half, and toast.
-
Step 10Add the mayo, horseradish, and lemon juice, to a small bowl, and then whisk them together to make a spread for the buns.
