directions

For the homemade dry rub:
- On a parchment paper-lined baking tray, put the garlic, ginger, shallots, and onions and bake in the oven 4 hours, or until dried. Using a food processor, reduce into a powder with the brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Coat the brisket with the spice mixture. Cover and keep in the refrigerator overnight to marinate and flavor the meat.
-
For the apple barbecue sauce:
- In a large bowl, mix together the onion, chipotle pepper, garlic, ketchup, honey, molasses, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the brisket, fat-side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 4 hours or until fork-tender.
- Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and keep warm.
- Strain and pour the sauce in a stockpot and let reduce for about 10 minutes on medium high heat until thick. Remove excess fat.
- Cut the meat with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness.
-
To assemble:
- Garnish onion buns with the meat, sauce, tomatoes, lettuce and top with deep-fried onion rings.

Cook's Notes:
- You can buy dried onions and garlic from grocery stores instead of preparing it. The apple barbecue sauce is a recipe on its own and very versatile. It can be used as a dip, as a sauce or as a glaze for other meats like chicken, pork, etc.
- The brisket can be served on its own and served with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
- Brisket can also be sliced and frozen for later use.
- Make the brisket the day before and reheat for best flavor.
