1
Prepare the Brisket
Trim excess fat from the brisket and apply a generous amount of BBQ rub to all sides. Let it sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for better flavor.
2
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) for tender, juicy meat. Use wood chips of your choice, preferably hickory or mesquite, for the best flavor.
3
Rest the Brisket
Once the brisket is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and wrap it in foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice the brisket against the grain. On a serving plate, layer the sliced brisket, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, drizzle BBQ ranch dressing, and add onion rings. Serve with a regular side of your choice.
