Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups smoked brisket, sliced or shredded
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Bread and Condiments:
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls, toasted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional Toppings:
- pickled jalapenos
- hot sauce
- garlic aioli
- mayo
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet at medium-high heat (375°F). Toss in the thinly sliced green and red bell peppers along with the onions.
- Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds until they soften and develop golden edges.
- Add 2 cups of smoked brisket to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables. Warm the meat for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour 2 tablespoons beef broth over the mixture if your brisket seems dry, helping it stay moist and flavorful.
- Reduce skillet temperature to low (250°F). Layer 8 slices of provolone cheese across the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Cover the skillet with a tight lid for 60-90 seconds, allowing the cheese to melt completely and blanket the ingredients.
- Split 4 hoagie rolls and toast their inner surfaces until golden and crisp.
- Spoon the cheesy brisket mixture evenly into each toasted roll, ensuring each sandwich gets a balanced portion.
- Garnish with optional toppings like pickled jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce if you prefer extra zest.
Notes
- Always slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier eating.
- If your brisket seems dry, a splash of beef broth can restore moisture and enhance the flavor without making the sandwich soggy.
- For a lighter version, swap the hoagie roll for lettuce wraps or use a low-carb tortilla to reduce bread intake.
- Choose a good melting cheese like provolone or white American for the best cheesy texture and smooth coverage over the meat and veggies.
