Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 8 slices gluten-free sandwich bread
• 1 cup gluten-free beef broth
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup gluten-free barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices smoked cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 cups gluten-free coleslaw (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming any excess fat from the brisket to ensure even cooking and a more pleasant sandwich texture.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar to create the dry rub for the brisket.

Step 3

Rub the dry mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring that all surfaces are coated. Let the meat sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate it overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Set up your smoker to 225°F (about 107°C). Add wood chips of your choice for flavor; hickory or mesquite works well with beef.

Step 5

Place the brisket on the smoker, fat side up, and cook it for about 4-5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 180°F (82°C).

Step 6

Combine the gluten-free beef broth and apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. Periodically spritz the brisket with the mixture to maintain moisture.

Step 7

Remove the brisket from the smoker and wrap it in aluminum foil or butcher paper. Return it to the smoker and continue cooking until the brisket reaches 200°F (93°C) internally.

Step 8

Once done, allow the brisket to rest for at least 30 minutes in its foil or butcher wrap to reabsorb its juices.

Step 9

Slice the brisket thinly against the grain to prepare it for sandwiches.

Step 10

Toast the gluten-free bread slices lightly with olive oil in a pan or oven to enhance flavor and texture.

Step 11

Assemble the sandwiches by layering slices of smoked brisket onto the gluten-free bread, adding a slice of smoked cheddar cheese, a generous drizzle of gluten-free barbecue sauce, and a portion of gluten-free coleslaw if desired.

Step 12

Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
