Smoky Brisket Hoagies Recipes

Steps:

• Cook onions in hot oil until caramelized. Add jalapeño. Add brisket and BBQ sauce, stirring, until incorporated and warm. Gather onions, jalapeños and brisket into a mound, then place Gouda on top and cover until cheese melts. Toast hoagie roll on hot griddle until crisp. Place all of the filling on hoagie roll.
• For the Smokehouse brisket rub: Combine the mesquite powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, au jus powder, granulated sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly incorporated.
• For the brisket: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a good layer for flavor. Spread a thick layer of rub over entire brisket in a heavy-duty baking pan, and work rub into the layer of fat. Add liquid smoke and 1/2 cup water, then cover tightly with aluminum foil. Braise in oven until tender, about 4 hours.
• To a large heavy-duty cooking pot over low heat, add, in order and whisking vigorously until incorporated, the coffee, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, ketchup, liquid smoke, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chili powder, mustard flour and black pepper. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the onions and green bell pepper in a 4 quart slow cooker.
• Cut the brisket across the grain into 3 pieces.
• Put the brisket on top of the vegetables (overlap to fit if needed).
• Mix together the barbecue sauce, chili sauce, and garlic in a bowl.
• Pour sauce over the brisket.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.
• Remove brisket from slow cooker to a cutting board.
• Using 2 forks, shred the beef.
• Return beef to the slow cooker; stir into the sauce.
• Using a slotted spoon, spoon the beef onto the hoagie buns.
• Have lots of napkins handy.

Steps:

• Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Rub the entire brisket with the spice mixture, place on a baking sheet, cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
• Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side down, and smoke for 4 to 5 hours or until extremely tender. Baste with the mop every 30 minutes.
• Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Steps:

• Rub the brisket with the sugar and 1 tbsp sea salt and let sit for 5 mins. Mix the spices and 1 tbsp pepper, then rub all over the brisket. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or preferably more.
• Take the meat out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking. Rehydrate the chipotle in hot water. Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Heat a heavy-bottomed flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat and add the dripping or oil. Brown the meat on all sides, then transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion, carrot, garlic, thyme and bay leaf to the casserole and fry over a medium-high heat for 6-8 mins until aromatic, softened and starting to char and colour. Drain and chop the chipotle and add to the pot along with the brisket, star anise, lemon zest and stock. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer, then cover with a lid and put in the oven for 3 hrs or until tender.
• Remove the brisket from the casserole and wrap in foil to keep warm while you finish making the spicy gravy. Put the casserole on the hob over a high heat and reduce for about 20 mins until beginning to thicken. Stir the flour and butter into a paste and add to the casserole. Stir until the paste has dissolved and the sauce is smooth and pourable. Season with salt and honey until you're happy with the flavour.
• Mix the chives and soured cream with a squeeze of lemon juice. Unwrap and slice the brisket and reheat the slices briefly in the warm gravy, then serve with crispy, salt-roasted jacket potatoes, buttered kale and the soured cream.
