Directions

For thinner, easier slices, cut the brisket while cold. Aim for even, manageable sandwich slices.
In a bowl, combine mayo, crema, horseradish, and wasabi. Mix well and taste—adjust heat as needed.
Set your griddle to a two-zone setup—250°F on one side for warming, 350°F on the other for toasting and searing.
Place brisket slices on the warm side of the griddle. Splash with a bit of au jus to rehydrate. Season lightly with BPS Competition Brisket & Steak Rub.
Slice rolls and brush insides with butter. Toast buttered sides directly on the hot zone of the griddle until golden.
Spread mayo on the bottom roll and a generous dollop of the horseradish-wasabi cream on the top bun. Layer on the hot brisket and close it up.
Plate with any remaining au jus for dipping, or just devour as is. Prepare for happy tears and requests for seconds.
