SOUTHWESTERN PULLED BRISKET SANDWICHES

A great alternative to hamburgers, hot dogs, or pork barbeque. Please note that the recipe calls for two whole chipotle chiles; not two cans of chipotle chiles. We actually removed the meat from our slow cooker to pull and chop it and served the sauce on the side (strained of all the onion, bay leaves and garlic). This way each person can decide how much sauce to use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature to become tender. The best cuts of brisket for barbecue are the flat cut and the point cut. The flat cut is leaner, while the point cut has more fat, which gives it a more flavorful and tender texture.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is an important part of any barbecue recipe, so it's important to use a good quality sauce that has a good balance of sweetness, smokiness, and spice. You can either make your own barbecue sauce or use a store-bought sauce that you like.
  • Cook the brisket slowly and at a low temperature: The best way to cook brisket is to cook it slowly and at a low temperature. This will allow the meat to become tender and flavorful without drying out. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 200°F and 250°F.
  • Use a smoker or a grill with a smoker box: The best way to achieve a smoky flavor in your brisket is to use a smoker or a grill with a smoker box. A smoker will give your brisket a more intense smoky flavor, but a grill with a smoker box will also work well.
  • Wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper: Once the brisket has cooked for a few hours, you can wrap it in foil or butcher paper to help it cook more evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Southwestern barbecued brisket with ancho chile sauce is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this recipe, you can make a brisket that is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. So fire up your grill or smoker and give this recipe a try!
