Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut a 3x3" square around core of cabbage at the base. Carefully remove core with knife. Using knife and a spoon, create a 3"-deep cavity in cabbage, big enough to hold beer can. Discard core; reserve leftover cabbage from hollowing out cavity for another use. Using a brush, coat cabbage with oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour out (or drink) half of the beer. Place beer can in cavity of cabbage so cabbage sits upright. Transfer to grill. Using brush, generously coat cabbage with 3 Tbsp. barbecue sauce. Cover grill and cook cabbage, brushing with remaining sauce every 15 minutes, until outer leaves are crispy and dark brown and cabbage is cooked through and tender when pierced with a paring knife, 45-50 minutes total.
- Remove cabbage from grill and discard can. Let cool slightly. Cut grilled cabbage in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into 3/4" strips. Toss in a medium bowl with remaining 1 1/4 cups barbecue sauce (you should have about 6 cups barbecued cabbage). Serve as a side, or make Beer-Can Cabbage Sandwiches.
- Do Ahead
- Barbecued cabbage can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Reheat gently in a covered pot on stovetop or in microwave.

Tips:
- Choose a good quality beer: The type of beer you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cabbage sandwiches. A light beer will give you a milder flavor, while a dark beer will produce a more robust flavor. - Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of crunch. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy and unpleasant. - Use a good quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is another key ingredient in these sandwiches. A good quality mayonnaise will make your sandwiches more flavorful and creamy. - Feel free to add other ingredients: These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat. Feel free to add cooked bacon, ham, or leftover roasted vegetables. - Serve the sandwiches immediately: These sandwiches are best served fresh and hot. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook the cabbage and meat in advance and then assemble the sandwiches just before serving.Conclusion:
Beer can cabbage sandwiches are a fun and easy way to enjoy cabbage. They are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your beer can cabbage sandwiches are delicious and memorable.
