Brisket Po Boy
Brisket Po Boy Sandwiches are a great way to enjoy leftover smoked brisket. Soft French bread rolls topped with bbq brisket, coleslaw and ripe juicy tomatoes. The ultimate sandwich that will satisfy a hungry family.
Leftover smoked brisket is one of the best things to have on hand for getting dinner on the table in a hurry.
We often enjoy leftover brisket tacos, brisket stuffed poblano peppers and even brisket stuffed onions. Most often we add a little homemade bbq sauce and make sandwiches.
Po Boy sandwiches are a Louisiana classic. They are typically made with thin sliced meat or seafood and topped with lettuce and tomato. We love shrimp po boys and we’ve made them with catfish too but I have to say the brisket po boy is definitely my favorite!

How to Make Beef Brisket Sandwich Recipe
- Slice or shred brisket.
- Place meat in a skillet with homemade bbq sauce.
- Place over medium heat and cook, stirring the mixture often until heated through, about 8 -10 minutes.
- Slice French rolls in half lengthwise, not cutting all the way through, to be able to fill the sandwiches.

Smoked brisket is plenty flavorful on it’s own and we don’t always use barbecue sauce but a Memphis style smoked brisket sandwich, topped with creamy coleslaw is just about the best thing you can eat.
Be sure to check out our Smoked Brisket and Brown Sugar Dry Rub Brisket recipes that show you how to make the absolute most tender, smoked brisket right on your own smoker or grill.
If you aren’t into smoking your own brisket, pick some up from your favorite bbq and get a few extra pounds to enjoy throughout the week.
How much barbecue sauce for making barbecue brisket?
