Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds Brisket Cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of the cow.
  • 2 medium Onions Sliced thinly.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 2 cups Beef broth Provides moisture and enhances flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 8 rolls Sandwich rolls or brioche buns Sturdy bread to hold the ingredients.
  • 8 ounces Provolone or cheddar cheese Sliced.

Condiments

  • Barbecue sauce Optional.
  • Horseradish Optional.
  • Mayonnaise Optional.

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or scallions For garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing the brisket. Rinse the meat under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Season the brisket generously with the spice mixture of smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the brisket from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until translucent and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer the caramelized onions and garlic to a slow cooker. Place the seared brisket on top and pour the beef broth over the meat.
  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Allow the brisket to cook for 8-10 hours, or until fork-tender.
  • When done, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the brisket against the grain into thick pieces.
  • Assemble the sandwich by placing sliced brisket onto the bottom half of each roll, topping with cheese and your favorite condiment.
  • Cover with the top half of the roll and press down gently.
  • Optionally, toast the assembled sandwiches in a pan or oven until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

Consider customizing your sandwich with different toppings or types of bread for a unique twist.
