Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups ketchup; 1/3 cup steak sauce; 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; 1 Tbs. chili powder; 2 tsp. onion powder; 2 tsp. mustard powder; 1/2 tsp. salt; 1 (3 lb.) beef brisket; 2 medium red onions, sliced; 16 slices sourdough bread, toasted; 3/4 cup mayonnaise; 8 slices Gouda cheese; 4 leaves romaine lettuce, torn

It’s not a backyard BBQ without some tangy tender brisket, and we took it up a notch by making ‘em into sandwiches! These sandwiches have smoky grilled brisket nestled between toasty sourdough bread, with crisp red onions, Gouda cheese, torn romaine and a smear of creamy mayo. Talk about deliciousness in every bite!

Intimidated by brisket? Don’t be! Believe it or not, the grill can actually act as an outdoor slow cooker if you simply transfer the meat from direct heat to indirect heat, close the lid and let it cook low and slow for several hours. The immediate switch from direct to indirect heat ensures you get a nice sear on the outside while cooking the interior patiently so that it maintains moisture.

If you happen to have any leftover brisket and want to reheat it, try this trick to ensure it stays tender and juicy. Want to take your sandwich game up a notch? Try out these Mac ‘n’ Cheese Brisket Sandwiches.
