Instructions

To make the Jalapeno Slaw

  1. To make the dressing combine mayonnaise, jalapeno juice, diced jalapenos, and sugar. Mix until combined.
  2. Toss coleslaw mixture with dressing and set aside.

To assemble the sandwich

  1. Place sub rolls cut side up in the oven and broil foe 2-3 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Chop brisket into small bite sized pieces. Heat the brisket in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove top.
  3. Spread BBQ sauce over the cut side of the roll. Pile on chopped brisket, sliced onion and jalapeno slaw. Place the top on the sub roll.
  4. Use the leftover juices from cooking the BBQ brisket as a dipping sauce. If you don't have any juices from cooking you can thin BBQ sauce with beef broth for an au jus to dip the brisket sandwich in.

Notes

  • Substitutions: 
  • How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
  • How to Freeze: This dish can be made ahead of time and makes great for meal prep. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months. *I do not suggest freezing the corn salsa. The texture will degrade while freezing.*
  • How to Reheat: This can be reheated in the microwave in 30 second increments, or cover with tin foil and place into the oven to reheat. 
  • How to Scale: This recipe makes two large sandwiches, but you can make anything from a small sandwich to many sandwiches easily by scaling the recipe up or down. 
  • Sub rolls cut in half– I like to grab a nice white sub roll from the bakery section of my local grocery store. You can also find pre-packaged sub rolls in the bread section.
  • Red onion– Red is my favorite on sandwiches, but you can sub yellow, white, or sweet onions.
  • in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in the freezer up to a month
  • in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
  • in the freezer up to a month
  • After your brisket has cooled, place into an airtight container and freeze. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Reheat.
