Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke.

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the brisket. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Brisket

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 12-14 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

Candied Jalapenos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Slice the jalapenos into rings, removing the seeds if desired for less heat.

  2. 5

    Make the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil, then add the jalapeno rings. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let the jalapenos cool in the syrup. Store in a jar in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Beer Battered Onion Rings

  1. 7

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick rings.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, beer, and salt until smooth.

  3. 9

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Dip onion rings in the batter and fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Zesty Sauce

  1. 10

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on a grill or in a toaster.

  2. 12

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer the smoked brisket on the bottom half of the bun, top with a slice of pepperjack cheese, add a generous amount of candied jalapenos, and finish with beer battered onion rings. Spread zesty sauce on the top half of the bun and place it on top to complete the sandwich.
