# Ingredient List:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound smoked beef brisket, sliced
02 - 8 slices sourdough bread
03 - 4 ounces Colby Jack cheese, shredded
04 - 4 ounces Provolone cheese, sliced
05 - 1 cup fried crispy onions
06 - 1 cup caramelized onions
07 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

→ Brisket Preparation

08 - 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
09 - 2 tablespoons barbecue dry rub

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Coat the brisket evenly with yellow mustard and barbecue rub, then refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
02 - Preheat smoker to 210°F. Smoke brisket over hickory pellets for 9 to 10 hours. Wrap brisket in butcher paper and return to smoke until fork-tender, then allow to rest before slicing.
03 - Dice onions and sauté in a skillet over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
04 - Layer sliced brisket, Colby Jack cheese, Provolone cheese, fried onions, caramelized onions, and barbecue sauce evenly between sourdough bread slices.
05 - Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Toast each sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 4 minutes per side.
06 - Slice sandwiches in half and serve hot.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Chilling the seasoned brisket before smoking enhances flavor penetration and tenderness.
