Equipment

  • smoker or slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 low-calorie awesome roll
  • 4 oz smoked brisket
  • 1 slice of aged Gouda cheese
  • 3 crispy onion tanglers
  • Mayonnaise optional, for extra creaminess
  • BBQ sauce your preferred choice
  • 3 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned meat tenderizer
  • 2 tablespoons liquid hickory smoke
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 freezer bag for marinating
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for a tangy twist
  • 1 cup Dinosaur BBQ sauce or your preferred BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor

Instructions
 

  • Start by trimming any excess fat from the brisket. You want it lean, but you also want enough fat to keep it moist during cooking.
  • In a bowl, mix the celery salt, garlic salt, seasoned salt, and meat tenderizer. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the brisket. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours or, if time permits, overnight.
  • Put the seasoned brisket in a freezer bag. Add liquid hickory smoke, Worcestershire sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Seal the bag and massage the mixture into the meat. Refrigerate it again for another few hours.
  • Preheat your smoker or slow cooker. If you're using a smoker, set it to 225°F. Place the marinated brisket directly on the grill and smoke for around 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches about 190°F. If using a slow cooker, let it cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Once your brisket is ready, remove it from heat and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain. Toast your low-calorie roll, layer it with brisket, aged Gouda, and crispy onion tanglers. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the top or add mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier sandwich.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors and textures!

Notes

  • Rest Your Meat: Allowing the brisket to rest after cooking is crucial for juiciness. It locks in flavor and moisture.
  • Slice Against the Grain: Cutting against the grain ensures tender bites. It makes a big difference in texture.
  • Experiment with Sauces: Everyone has their favorite BBQ sauce. Don’t hesitate to explore and find what works best for your palate!
  • Monitor Temperature: Use a meat thermometer. Keeping an eye on temperatures will give you the best results.
  • Stay Patient: Good things come to those who wait. Slow cooking may take a while, but it’s worth every minute!
