Time 4h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

One 4-pound brisket
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 packed tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried shallots
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Buttered toasted buns or Buttermilk Cheddar Corn Cakes (recipe follows)
Crunchy Ranch Slaw (recipe follows), for serving
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small crown broccoli
1/4 green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1 bulb fennel, fronds reserved and bulb thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Allow the brisket to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the salt, sugar, shallots, garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne in a small bowl to make a dry rub. Massage the rub into all sides of the meat, being sure to use it all. Lay the brisket on a sheet pan.
  • Light a grill on low heat on one side, keeping the other side turned off; you should maintain a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees F the whole time you are grilling. Place the hickory chips in a foil pan. Cover with foil and cut slits in the top to release the smoke. Place the foil pan on the lit side of the grill. Place the brisket fat-side up on the turned-off side of the grill and close the cover. Cook, flipping a few times, until very tender but not falling apart and the center reaches about 200 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice the brisket into thin slices across the grain. Serve over buttered toasted buns or with Corn Cakes and Crunchy Slaw.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
  • Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.
  • Whisk together the mayo, dill, granulated sugar, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
  • Remove the stem from the broccoli and slice thinly, then add to the bowl. Cut the crown of the broccoli into small florets and add to the bowl, along with the cabbage and fennel. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing. Garnish with the fennel fronds.
  • Serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container. This recipe tastes even better the next day!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h5m

Yield 12-18 sandwiches, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs top round roast
3 medium yellow onions, quartered and sliced
3 cups cattlemens smoky barbecue sauce, preferred (or other smoky sauce)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the roast with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and minced garlic.
  • In a dutch oven on your stove top heat the oil on medium-high heat. Add the roast and lightly brown each side. This takes about one minute on each side.
  • Pour in half of the bottle of beer.Put the cap back on you will use the rest later. Top the roast with the brown sugar. Add the sliced onions.( These will cook down and the kids won't even see them.) Put the lid on and cook on medium for 1 1/2 hours.Make sure the juices are at a low simmer.
  • Take off the lid and pour in the other half of the beer, turn the roast over, mix everything around real good and put the lid back on. Cook on medium-low for another 1 1/2 hours.The juices should be at a lower simmer now.
  • When the time is up check tenderness. The meat should pull apart with a fork easily.
  • Remove the roast from the pan to a plate if it is done.
  • The onions should be cooked down to practically nothing and there should be no more than a cup of juices left in the pan. Add the bbq sauce to the onions and juice in the pan.
  • On the plate cut the roast across the grain at about every 3 inches. This will make the roast pull apart into smaller pieces. Pull the meat apart with a large fork into shreds.
  • Add the meat to the sauce mixture and mix very well. The meat will absorb all of the sauce quickly.Let it sit on very low heat for about 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: The best cuts of beef for BBQ sandwiches are those that are well-marbled and have a good amount of connective tissue. This will help to ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful after it is cooked.
  • Use a good quality BBQ sauce: The BBQ sauce is what will give your sandwiches their signature flavor. Be sure to choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of and that is appropriate for the type of beef you are using.
  • Cook the beef slowly and low: The best way to cook BBQ beef is to cook it slowly and low. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors of the BBQ sauce to penetrate deep into the meat.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Be sure to cook the beef until it is just tender, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately: BBQ beef sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the meat is hot and juicy and that the flavors are at their peak.

Conclusion:

Sweet smoky BBQ beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your sandwiches turn out perfect every time. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
