Enjoy this smoky and juicy sandwich loaded with tender beef grilled to perfection over a hot charcoal flame. Bursting with flavor, this is the ultimate treat for barbecue lovers!
Ingredients
🥩 1 lb of premium beef (ribeye, brisket, or cut of your choice)
🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🥖 1 large sandwich roll or brioche bun
2 slices cheddar cheese
🥬 Lettuce leaves
🍅 Tomato slices
🧅 Caramelized onions (optional)
🍔 BBQ sauce or smoked mayonnaise, for spreading
Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat:
Season the beef generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Grill the Meat:
Heat a charcoal grill until the coals glow red with a layer of white ash.
Sear the meat over high heat for 4-6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until a deep crust forms. Move it to indirect heat to finish cooking to your desired doneness.
Remove and let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before thinly slicing.
3. Toast the Bun:
Slice the sandwich roll in half and lightly toast on the grill until golden brown and crispy.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread BBQ sauce or smoked mayonnaise on the bottom half of the roll.
Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, and caramelized onions (if using).
Add the grilled beef slices and top with cheddar cheese.
Close with the top half of the roll.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm with fries, pickles, or coleslaw. Pair it with your favorite drink for the ultimate barbecue experience!
Tips:
Add a touch of smoked paprika to your seasoning for an extra smoky flavor.
For a spicy kick, drizzle with hot sauce or add jalapeños.
