Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 4 pieces Keto-friendly sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Sliced pickles
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the olive oil all over the brisket, then coat it with the spice mixture, ensuring it is well covered on all sides.
Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Ensure you maintain the smoker temperature and add wood chips as needed according to your smoker's instructions.
Once the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker, wrap it in foil, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
While the brisket is resting, cut the keto-friendly sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them in the oven or on a grill.
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain. If desired, warm the slices in a pan with the sugar-free BBQ sauce.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted keto sandwich roll, followed by a generous portion of sliced brisket.
Add a leaf of lettuce, two slices of pickles, and drizzle more sugar-free BBQ sauce over the top.
Place the top half of the sandwich roll on the fillings and serve immediately.
