1
Cook the Brisket
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for about 3-4 hours, or until tender. Let it rest before slicing.

2
Prepare the BBQ Thousand Island Sauce
In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and Thousand Island dressing. Mix well and set aside.
3
Layer the Ingredients
On one slice of sourdough bread, spread a layer of the BBQ Thousand Island sauce. Add a layer of sliced brisket, followed by sauerkraut and a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of sourdough bread.

4
Grill the Sandwich
Spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure the cheese is melted.

5
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, and then slice it in half. Serve warm with extra BBQ Thousand Island sauce on the side.
