Instructions

  • Prepare grill for indirect medium heat (325°F). Preheat grill by turning all burners to high.

  • For the Brisket, mix Spice Blend and sea salt. Place brisket, fat side up, in 13x9-inch disposable foil pan. Rub all over with seasoning mixture. Pour stock around brisket. Cover with foil.

  • Turn burner on 1 side to medium-high. Turn off burner(s) on other side. Place pan on unlit side of grill. Close grill. Grill 3 hours or until brisket is tender. Remove brisket from grill. Let stand 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, for the Fennel Slaw, mix vinegar, orange juice, granulated sugar, oil and sea salt in large bowl until well blended. Add carrots, fennel and red onion; toss to coat well. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • For the BBQ Sauce, mix all ingredients in medium saucepan on high heat. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 20 minutes or until slightly thickened and sauce is reduced to about 2 cups, stirring occasionally.

  • To serve, slice brisket. Serve in rolls with BBQ Sauce and Fennel Slaw.
