brisket-reuben

TOP TIER SANDWICH RIGHT HERE. This thing is nuts. I’ve always wondered what a Texas style brisket Reuben would taste like, and let me tell you: it did not disappoint. You see, a traditional reuben consists of pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and rye bread. Pastrami is typically brisket that has been cured, seasoned with a special blend of spices, and then smoked, then sometimes even steamed afterwards. Either way, it’s a LONG process, sometimes taking up to like 2 weeks to make. So I settled for the easier, 24 hour version, haha. Figured I’d just replace the pastrami with its simpler, and totally unrelated cousin- Texas style brisket. While it doesn’t scratch the pastrami itch, it DEFINITELY scratches the reuben itch.
