Homemade Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   **Prepare Brisket:** If using a skillet, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced brisket and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through. If the brisket appears dry, add a splash of beef broth or water to keep it moist. Alternatively, heat brisket in the microwave in small batches until hot.

2. 2

   **Toast Buns:** While the brisket is heating, butter the cut sides of the sandwich buns. Place them cut-side down in a separate dry skillet over medium heat, or under a broiler, and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   **Melt Cheese:** Once the brisket is hot, arrange the slices into four even portions in the skillet (or transfer to a baking sheet if using an oven to melt cheese). Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each brisket portion. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil, or place under a broiler, for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

4. 4

   **Assemble Sandwiches:** Spread a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Carefully transfer a portion of the cheesy brisket onto the sauced bun.

5. 5

   **Finish and Serve:** Sprinkle a generous handful of crispy fried onions over the brisket on each sandwich. Place the top bun on each sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Arby's replica!
