Bbq Brisket And Cheddar Sandwiches Recipes

BURNT END MELT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker for cooking at 225 degrees F.
• Trim any excess fat from brisket. Sprinkle the brisket liberally with kosher salt. Stir together the black pepper, granulated garlic and 1/4 cup Cajun spice, then sprinkle all over the brisket. Place brisket fat-side up on a smoking tray and place in smoker. Add soaked and drained hickory wood chips and smoke until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 195 degrees F, about 12 hours.
• Let the brisket rest and cool completely, preferably overnight.
• Preheat the smoker for cooking at 250 degrees F. Cut the brisket into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread these cubes in an even layer on a sheet tray. Sprinkle with brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup Cajun spice and the BBQ Sauce. Mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure every piece is coated. Spread them out in an even layer and put the tray back in the smoker with fresh soaked wood chips to smoke for 2 hours. Remove from smoker.
• Hollow out the ciabatta. Add Mac and Cheese, some brisket burnt ends, green pear, some Cheddar and BBQ Sauce. Close the sandwich and place on a flattop panini press until cheese melts, about 1 minute. (Save the remaining meat for another use.)
• Combine light brown sugar, ketchup, pineapple juice, molasses, liquid smoke, mustard, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, Cajun spice and 1 cup water in a stainless steel saucepan. Heat on low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon so the sugars do not burn on the bottom of the pan, until it comes to a simmer. Simmer until desired consistency has been achieved, for about 1 hour. Allow to cool completely, then transfer to a clean plastic container or mason jar and store in the fridge.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to hot melted butter and whisk constantly for 3 minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk, then continue to cook, whisking, until sauce is thickened and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar, salt, pepper and Cajun spice. Stir until smooth and velvety, then fold in precooked noodles. Return to low heat and stir constantly until noodles are heated through. Serve.

BBQ BRAISED BRISKET SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir to combine the chile flakes, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Rub the spice mix on the brisket to coat. Place in a large resealable bag or dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven set over medium heat. Sear the brisket, fat-side down, until caramelized and browned, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes.
• Pour in the Nancy's Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce, Worcestershire and beer. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until the brisket is tender and the internal temperature of the thickest part reads 185 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Place the brisket on a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes, and reserve the cooking sauce. Slice the brisket thinly against the grain, then return the meat to the Dutch oven and coat in the sauce. Pile the meat onto the sandwich rolls, spread some mayo on one side of the roll and then drizzle some extra sauce over the meat to serve.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute, then whisk in the tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, vinegar, mustard, cayenne and some salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.

CHIPOTLE BRISKET SANDWICH ON A CHEDDAR BISCUIT

Steps:

• For the brisket: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Lay the sliced onions in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the brisket on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper. Top with the garlic cloves and ale. Cover tightly with foil and roast until tender, 5 to 6 hours. Loosen the cover and let cool to room temperature.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno and diced onion and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the pureed chipotle peppers and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Remove any excess fat from the cooled brisket with a spatula. Slice the brisket across the grain into 1 1/2-inch-thick pieces and gently pull the meat apart by hand. Place the meat in a large bowl and season with the granulated garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Add the cooked onion and jalapeno mixture and toss gently to combine.
• For the biscuits: Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the 2 sticks of cold butter until the mixture is crumbly, being careful not to overmix. Add the Cheddar. Add the buttermilk a little at a time, just until the mixture is combined and moist. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll or press the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 4-by-4-inch squares or use a large biscuit cutter, place on the baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Brush with additional melted butter while the biscuits are still warm. Set aside.
• For the chipotle sauce: Combine the guacamole, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers and lemon juice in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt, cover and refrigerate.
• To serve: Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Loosely wrap the biscuits in foil and place in the oven until warm. For each sandwich, place 6 to 8 ounces of the brisket mixture in a small saute pan. Heat until very warm, stirring so the brisket does not brown. Turn off the heat and top with 1 slice of Cheddar and some caramelized onions. Cover the pan until the cheese melts. Cut the warm biscuit in half lengthwise and fill with the brisket mixture. Top with the desired amount of chipotle sauce and serve.

BBQ BRISKET AND CHEDDAR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In 1 tbs. oil, brown beef on both sides. Add onion and cook until they are golden. Combine the next 5 ingredients and pour over meat. In a dutch oven or heavy pan, simmer the meat, covered until tender, about 3 hours. Cool. Slice the meat against the grain. Wrap the meat separately from the sauce. To serve, heat the sauce in a small saucepan. Warm the beef on the grill in aluminum foil. Slice rolls and lightly toast on the grill, inside down. Cover with meat and 1/4 cup cheese. Heat until cheese melts.

WOODROW'S COFFEE BBQ BRISKET SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the BBQ rub: Mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder in a bowl. Set aside.
• For the brisket: Trim excess fat from the outside of the brisket, keeping about 1/2-inch layer of fat on.
• Chop up excess fat and place it in a pot with 1 cup of the vegetable oil. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool, then strain to remove all the fat chunks. Set aside.
• Rub some of the remaining 1/4 vegetable oil all around the outside of the brisket. Rub brisket liberally with 3/4 cup BBQ rub (save remainder for another use). Rub the rest of the vegetable oil on top of the BBQ rub. (When putting rub on meat, just remember, "oil, rub, oil.")
• Let the brisket rest, covered and refrigerated, overnight. (If you are in a hurry, you could let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours and it should turn out okay.)
• Heat an outdoor grill to 350 degrees F. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F.
• Sear the outside of the meat on all sides on the grill. Since we are not using a smoker, it is important to get some open flame action to caramelize the outside of the meat so we get some smoke flavor. Cover the meat with foil or thick butcher paper and place in a hotel pan.
• Transfer to the oven and roast for 12 hours or overnight. Let cool.
• For the coffee BBQ sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepot, then add garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, until they start to caramelize. Add the BBQ sauce, coffee and bay leaf and simmer on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes. Let cool, remove the bay leaf and puree in a blender (optional). Set aside.
• Ready to make the sandwiches! Slice the brisket about 1/4-inch-thick and place in a large enough saute pan that each piece can be flat in the pan in a single layer. Add just enough BBQ sauce to come about halfway up the side of the meat. Heat the pan on medium to high heat. Meanwhile, split the burger buns. Toast the buns and add the melted butter to the insides.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Fry shoestring potatoes until they start to turn golden brown, then add the sliced jalapenos to the fryer and continue frying until the fries are golden and jalapenos are crispy but still bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Let drain, then place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, pay attention to the brisket in the pan. Turn each piece over on the other side with tongs and continue searing.
• Pour about 1/4 cup beef fat into another saute pan. Heat on medium-high heat and add the sliced onions. Cook the onions down until they start to get a dark caramelization-thing going on, then add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, drain excess oil and set aside. At this point the brisket should be looking good. You want there to be a deep-dark crust forming on the outside.
• Time to assemble! Place buns on a tray, lay your Cheddar down on the bottom, add the BBQ brisket on top, beef fat onions on top of the brisket, jalapeno shoestrings on top of the onions, put on your bun lids...DONE!
