Yield Makes 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large purple cabbage (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 (12-ounce) can pale lager
2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce (preferably Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce), divided
1/2 large white onion, cut into 1/2" rings
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon honey
1 medium carrot (about 6 ounces), coarsely grated using the grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
6 seeded Kaiser rolls or sturdy hamburger buns
12 slices cheddar cheese
Sliced pickled jalapeños (for serving)

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 a beer can. Discard core but reserve leftover cabbage from hollowing out cavity. Using a brush, coat cabbage with oil, then season generously 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 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. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, grill white onion rings until charred.
  • Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Thinly slice reserved cabbage. Add to bowl with dressing along with carrot and red onion; toss to combine.
  • 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. Coarsely chop white onion rings and toss with cabbage in a medium bowl with remaining 1 1/4 cups barbecue sauce (you should have about 6 cups barbecued cabbage).
  • Halve rolls and grill until toasted, about 30 seconds. Arrange 1 cup barbecued cabbage on each bottom bun. Top each with 2 slices cheese, 1/4 cup cabbage slaw, and pickled jalapeños, if using. Top with top buns.
  • Do Ahead
  • Barbecued cabbage and coleslaw can be made 3 days ahead; cover separately and chill. Reheat gently in a covered pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Yield Serves 8-12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large purple cabbage (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (12-ounce) can pale lager
2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce (preferably Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce), divided

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:

  • Choosing the right cabbage is crucial; look for firm, compact heads with tightly packed leaves. Napa cabbage is an excellent choice due to its tender texture and mild flavor.
  • Slicing the cabbage thinly ensures even cooking and better absorption of the marinade. Aim for 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Combining mayonnaise, shredded carrots, and celery adds a creamy, crunchy texture and freshness to the cabbage slaw.
  • For a tangy and flavorful marinade, mix apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. The acidity of the vinegar helps tenderize the cabbage.
  • Marinate the cabbage for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse it with flavor.
  • Grilling the cabbage over medium-high heat allows for caramelization and a smoky flavor. Keep an eye on the cabbage to prevent burning.
  • Toasting the buns enhances their flavor and adds a crispy texture. Butter the buns before toasting for extra richness.
  • Layering the sandwich with grilled cabbage, slaw, and your favorite BBQ sauce creates a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

Conclusion:

These grilled BBQ cabbage sandwiches offer a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The tender, smoky cabbage, creamy slaw, and tangy BBQ sauce come together perfectly, creating a sandwich that is both satisfying and refreshing. Experiment with different types of cabbage and BBQ sauces to find your ideal combination. Whether you're grilling in your backyard or enjoying a picnic in the park, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit!
