Description

This sandwich is a decadent mashup of classic BBQ and a Philly cheesesteak, utilizing tender, flavorful smoked brisket instead of traditional steak. The reheated, chopped brisket, caramelized onions and peppers, and melted provolone cheese are piled high onto a toasted roll. It's a rich, intensely savory, and deeply comforting sandwich that elevates a classic with a deep, smoky barbecue flavor.

Ingredients
  • 1 lbs. 1.5 leftover smoked brisket chunks or slices, chopped
  • 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 large green bell peppers, sliced thin
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap brisket in foil with 2 tbsp butter and Worcestershire sauce. Place in oven to warm for 15 minutes while you prep vegetables.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized. Add mushrooms if using, cook 3 more minutes. Remove to bowl.
  3. 3
    Remove brisket from oven and chop into bite-sized pieces if not already done. Increase oven to broil.
  4. 4
    Split hoagie rolls and butter the cut sides. Place cut-side up under broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Watch closely!
  5. 5
    Return skillet to medium heat. Add chopped brisket and sprinkle with garlic powder. Toss 2-3 minutes until edges get slightly crispy.
  6. 6
    Divide brisket into 4 portions in the skillet. Top each portion with pepper-onion mixture, then 2 slices provolone. Cover skillet 1-2 minutes until cheese melts completely.
  7. 7
    Use a spatula to transfer each cheesy brisket pile into the toasted rolls. Serve immediately while hot and melty!
