Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beef Brisket — For the best results, choose a well-marbled brisket and trim any excess fat before cooking.
  • BBQ Sauce — Feel free to use your favorite store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own for a personalized touch.
  • Crispy Onion Rings — You can make your own crispy onion rings by dipping thinly sliced onions in a batter and frying them until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra smoky flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the BBQ rub.
  • Letting the brisket rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
  • If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.
  • If you don't have a grill or smoker, you can cook the brisket in the oven at 225°F (107°C) for the same amount of time.
  • Serve the Zesty Z-Man Sandwich with pickles and coleslaw for a complete BBQ experience.

Serving advice

Serve the Zesty Z-Man Sandwiches with a side of crispy french fries and a refreshing coleslaw to complement the flavors and textures of the sandwich.

Presentation advice

To present the Zesty Z-Man Sandwiches, place them on a wooden cutting board or a rustic serving platter. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
