Mangia Bene – Smoked Brisket on Cheesy Garlic Bread

Slow wood smoked brisket on a cheesy garlic bread. You are going to fall in love with this sandwich.

Ingredients

For the brisket
• 5 pounds of beef brisket
• 2-3 tbsp mesquite seasoning (see below)
• 2 tbsp Kosher salt

For each sandwich
• 1 small loaf French bread
• butter
• garlic powder
• shredded Provel cheese (you can use Provolone if you are outside the St. Louis area)
• cooked and sliced brisket
• Horseradish sauce (see below)

Instructions

For the brisket
1. Place brisket fat side up, and season with salt and mesquite seasoning.
2. Place your brisket in a smoker or oven that is set to 200F. Let it cook for at least 9 hours (if you can let it go longer, it will be even more tender)
3. Once done, remove brisket, and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
4. Slice the brisket into you desired sized pieces

For the sandwiches
1. If your bread is not cut, cut it open lengthwise
2. Butter both halves of the bread, and sprinkle on garlic powder
3. Cover each half of the bread with your cheese
4. Bake in the oven until bread is toasted on the edges, and all of the cheese has melted
5. Top with brisket and horseradish sauce
6. Enjoy!

Notes

We bought a premade mix from a spice shop. To make your own mesquite seasoning, just combine the following:
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon salt


We used a store bought horseradish sauce. You could make your own by mixing up some mayo and horseradish, making it as strong as you want.
