Name: Smoked Corned Beef Sandwiches with Coleslaw
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 4 min
Total time: 14 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: wood chips; 0.5 cup ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon ground paprika; 1 tablespoon garlic powder; 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet; 1 cup mayonnaise; 0.25 cup white sugar; 1 medium lemon, juiced; 2 tablespoons white vinegar; 2 tablespoons ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon salt; 1 medium head red cabbage; 1 medium head green cabbage; 8 (1.5 ounce) hamburger buns

Step 1

Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F (107 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Maintain temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Combine pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl; add the spice packet from the brisket and mix well. Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the brisket.

Step 4

Drain wood chips and place on coals. Place a water pan on the smoker and add water to the depth of the fill line. Place brisket on the lower cooking grate and cover with the smoker lid.

Step 5

Smoke brisket, maintaining the smoker's internal temperature at 225 degrees F (107 degrees C) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 190 to 200 degrees F (88 to 93 degrees C), 4 to 6 hours.

Step 6

While the brisket is cooking, prepare coleslaw. Combine mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until smooth.

Step 7

Cut each cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Thinly slice cabbage quarters and transfer to a large bowl. Pour mayonnaise dressing over top and mix well with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 8

Remove brisket from the smoker and let rest for 40 minutes. Slice corned beef against the grain.

Step 9

Pile beef and coleslaw atop the hamburger buns.
