Method
Preparation
The “brisket”:
- Remove the defrosted Redefine Beef Flank from the package.
- Slice the Redefine Beef Flank, against the grain, into three medallions, 3cm (1.18 inches) wide.
- Rub generously with oil.
- Pan sear the medallions over medium to high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side (until, an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of each medallion, reaches a temp of 72°C (160°F).
- Remove the medallions from the pan and slice along the grain into 30 small ½ -1cm (1/5-2/5 inch) thick, slices.
- Season with flaky salt, crushed black pepper and olive oil.
- When the Redefine Beef Flank has been prepared, gently chop the slices to give them a “shredded” look.
- Place the shredded Redefine Beef in a medium size pan over moderate heat, add the BBQ sauce and water.
- Mix well and cook slowly, for a few minutes, until all the Redefine Beef is hot and dressed evenly in sauce.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Set aside and keep warm until ready for assembly.
Assembly:
- Slice the buns in half and gently toast.
- Slice the pickles into long 0.3mm (1/10 of an inch) slices.
- Spread each toasted bun, top and bottom, with BBQ sauce.
- Build your sandwich.
- Place 2 pickle slices on the toasted bottom of a bun.
- Cover the bun bottom with the prepared coleslaw and mound with the reserved, hot, Redefine Beef.
- If you choose, add the thinly sliced onions on top of the Redefine Beef.
- Cap your sandwich with the reserved toasted bun top.
- Serve
