Whitners Bbq Hot Open Faced Brisket Sandwich Recipes

OPEN FACED BBQ BEEF BRISKET AND CHEESE MELTS

Steps:

• 1. IF STARTING FROM SCRATCH, HERE'S HOW TO COOK THE CROCK POT BEEF: Place 3 lbs of beef into crock pot with beef broth, water and Italian seasoning. Cook for 10 hours on low. This beef and it's au jus can be used for a number of recipes, including chimichanga filling, tacos, shredded beef nachos, etc.
• 2. With 1-1 1/2 lbs of shredded tender beef remaining in crock pot, remove enough liquid to keep it totally drenched but not too soupy. Put that liquid aside for another use. Add chopped onion, pepper, cilantro and oregano into the crock pot with remaining beef and au jus. Turn crock pot up to high and cook for 40-60 mins.
• 3. Take mixture out of crock pot and place in bowl. Add your BBQ sauce and combine.
• 4. Place heaps of meat mixture onto the lightly toasted rye bread slices. Top with cheese. Broil until cheese melts and is bubbly brown.

WHITNER'S BBQ HOT OPEN-FACED BRISKET SANDWICH

Steps:

• For Whitner's brisket rub: Combine salt, pepper, Whitner's BBQ Rub and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.
• For Whitner's gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour to make a roux and whisk until butter and flour mixture is smooth and fragrant and begins to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the roux and continue to whisk for 1 to 2 more minutes. Turn heat up to medium-high and add the chicken stock.
• Continue to whisk until the roux is dissolved into chicken stock and the gravy begins to thicken slightly, about 5 more minutes. Strain through a sieve for best results.
• For the brisket sandwiches: Preheat a smoker for cooking at 200 degrees F.
• Liberally rub brisket with 1/2 cup brisket rub. Smoke until tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195 to 200 degrees F. Cooking time will depend on the weight of the brisket; a 10-pound or larger brisket will typically take at least 12 hours.
• Remove it from the smoker, wrap it in foil, and let it rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Slice brisket against the grain (remove excess fat from brisket if desired, leave on for a more intense flavor), place on top of white bread, and smother with hot gravy.
• Place 5 to 6 slices brisket over slices of white bread and spoon gravy on top.
• Combine paprika, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, mustard, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.
