BBQ BRISKET SANDWICH WITH CARAWAY COLESLAW



BBQ Brisket Sandwich with Caraway Coleslaw image

This barbecue brisket is inspired by my mom's brisket, which is a classic Jewish-style red-wine-braised situation. The sauce combines flavors from my favorite barbecue sauce (heavy on the sweetness!) and my mom's braise, whose acidity balances the sweetness for a next-level sandwich. The caraway in the coleslaw is a nod to the caraway-flecked rye bread that's a staple at Jewish delis and I just love the woodsy depth that it lends.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

1 cup ketchup
1 cup red wine
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 pounds brisket
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pretzel Challah Buns, homemade or store-bought, recipe follows
1/2 green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Freshly ground black pepper
4 carrots, cut into matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
3 1/2 cups (448 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) instant yeast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (178 grams) warm water, 105 to 110 degrees F
1/3 cup (66 grams) flavorless oil, plus more for the bowl
3 large eggs
1 cup (230 grams) baking soda
Coarse pretzel salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the BBQ sauce: Add the ketchup, wine, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne to the pot of a multi-cooker or slow cooker.
  • For the brisket: Season the brisket with the salt and some pepper and add to the pot with the BBQ sauce, coating the brisket in the sauce. Cook until tender, on high for 4 to 5 hours or on slow cook for 8 to 10 hours.
  • While the brisket is cooking, prepare the coleslaw.
  • For the caraway coleslaw: Toss together the green and red cabbage with 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and massage to soften; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, mustard, caraway, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Pour over the cabbage mixture, add the carrots and onions and toss to combine. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • When the brisket is tender, remove it from the pot and rest the meat for 10 minutes. Cut slices against the grain.
  • While the meat is resting, reduce the sauce. If you are using a multi-cooker, set to simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken. If you are using a slow cooker, remove the sauce to a small saucepot and reduce until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Slice the buns, toast them and spread some of the BBQ sauce on each slice. Top with the sliced brisket and coleslaw.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt. Whisk to combine. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, oil and 2 of the eggs. Beat to mix and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir to form a dough. Knead either in the stand mixer or by hand on a floured surface, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking, until smooth and just slightly sticky, 7 to 10 minutes. Grease the inside of a large clean bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with a towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
  • While the dough is rising, bake the baking soda. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Spread the baking soda out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Let it cool and set it aside (even though the baked baking soda isn't as strong as lye, it could potentially irritate your skin, so avoid touching it once it's out of the oven).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Split the dough into 8 equal portions and keep it covered when you're not working with it. Working with one piece of dough at a time, stretch it into a ball by tucking the top surface under and pinching to seal, then place it on a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough pieces, placing them 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 more minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the baked baking soda in a large bowl or casserole dish and add 2 cups (472 grams) of water. Stir it to dissolve the baking soda. (I've never been able to get all of it to dissolve, so a few baking soda chunks are totally ok as long as they don't stick to the dough.)
  • Whisk together the remaining egg with a splash of water for the egg wash; set aside. Using gloved hands or tongs and working in batches, immerse the rolls in the baking soda bath for about 2 minutes on both sides. Pat them dry with a paper towel and place them back on the baking sheet. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse pretzel salt. Cut 2 shallow slits in an X shape on top and bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 16 minutes.

CARAWAY COLESLAW



Caraway Coleslaw image

This recipe is a recreation of the coleslaw my Executive Chef made for his pulled pork sandwich we had on the menu way back when. Now I make it for my Recipe #209351. I find the caraway seeds gives it a nice little extra bit of flavor. I often use a mix of vinegars. Cider, white wine, and malt are all good vinegars to use. You can mix them up and play around to find the flavor you like best. I used to add thin sliced red onion to this, but alas, nobody in my house like onion enough to let me put them in the slaw. As far as the cabbage goes, you can shred your own, but I'm a firm believer in the store bought 1 pound bag of already shredded with the carrots added, but no dressing. The main reason is that the pre-processed stuff doesn't sweat out as much juice and turn your slaw into a big bowl of cream o cabbage soup. Oh, on last thing, when I make the pulled pork and this slaw, I try to make my rolls or buns using Tante B's Recipe #90765 I can't think of a better bread to serve pulled pork and slaw on.

The combination of caraway and orange keeps this slaw from being anything but run-of-the-mill. I always get requests to bring a big batch to potlucks; proof positive that it's a keeper! I also like to make it a day ahead so the flavors can truly blend. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the traditional choice for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you're using green cabbage, be sure to shred it finely so that it's easy to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you get thin, even slices of cabbage and carrots.
  • Don't overdress the coleslaw: The dressing should just coat the vegetables, not drown them.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish with grilled or fried meats, fish, or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Caraway coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give caraway coleslaw a try!
