BBQ Poutine with Smoked Brisket
Description
BBQ Poutine with Smoked Brisket starts with freshly cooked or store-bought French fries as the base. Warm, soft cheese curds are scattered on top, followed by chopped smoked brisket or burnt ends that add smoky, tender meatiness. The dish is finished with a peppercorn gravy made by thickening brisket au jus or beef broth with cornstarch slurry and seasoning it with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and cracked black peppercorns. The gravy adds moisture and robust flavor to the fries and cheese curds, binding the components together.
The combination of textures is vital: crispy fries, slightly melted curds, tender meat chunks, and creamy, peppered gravy create a satisfying mouthfeel and diverse flavor profile. The addition of sliced chives on top adds a fresh, herbal note balancing the richness.
This poutine variation works well as a hearty snack or main course and is especially rewarding for those who enjoy smoky barbecue flavors combined with classic Canadian comfort food elements.
Ingredients
- 1 Pound brisket or burnt ends, chopped and cooked
- 1 Pound potato French fries, cooked
- 2 Tablespoons chives Sliced
- 8 Ounces cheese curds
Peppercorn Gravy
- 2 Cups brisket au jus or beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns coarse ground
- ⅓ Cup water
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Cook your fries per package instructions, or better yet make them fresh.
- If using leftover brisket, reheat it and keep warm.
- In a small bowl make the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and the water.
- In a saucepan, heat the brisket au jus or beef broth to a gentle boil then add in the peppercorns, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
- Slowly add in the cornstarch slurry a couple tablespoons at a time, whisking continuously, until you reach your desired thickness. You will likely not need to use all of the slurry. Reduce heat to keep warm.
- Place the cooked fries in a pan or a large plate. Top with the cheese curds and the brisket. Pour the desired amount of gravy on the poutine then top with the chives.
