Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For best results, choose a lean cut of beef such as sirloin or top round. Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Barbecue sauce — Feel free to use your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce or make your own for a personalized touch.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, add a handful of soaked wood chips to the grill while cooking the beef.
- If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Don't skip the resting step after grilling the beef. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
- Customize your sandwich by adding sliced onions, lettuce, or cheese.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the beef on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler.
Serving advice
Serve the Pit Beef Sandwiches with a side of coleslaw and some crispy french fries for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, serve the sandwiches on a wooden cutting board or a rustic platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
