Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the beef brisket with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Ensure an even coating.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the brisket in a slow cooker or a large pot. Pour in the beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the yellow onions thinly. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, cooking slowly until they are golden brown and caramelized (about 20-30 minutes). Stir occasionally.

Cherry Pepper Aioli

  1. 4

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, cherry peppers, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Melt

    Shred the cooked brisket and mix it with the caramelized onions. On each pretzel bun, layer the brisket and onion mixture, top with chihuahua cheese, and add a generous dollop of cherry pepper aioli.

  2. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a pan or grill over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the grill and press down slightly. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the bun is crispy.
