Steps:
- For Whitner's brisket rub: Combine salt, pepper, Whitner's BBQ Rub and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.
- For Whitner's gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour to make a roux and whisk until butter and flour mixture is smooth and fragrant and begins to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the roux and continue to whisk for 1 to 2 more minutes. Turn heat up to medium-high and add the chicken stock.
- Continue to whisk until the roux is dissolved into chicken stock and the gravy begins to thicken slightly, about 5 more minutes. Strain through a sieve for best results.
- For the brisket sandwiches: Preheat a smoker for cooking at 200 degrees F.
- Liberally rub brisket with 1/2 cup brisket rub. Smoke until tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195 to 200 degrees F. Cooking time will depend on the weight of the brisket; a 10-pound or larger brisket will typically take at least 12 hours.
- Remove it from the smoker, wrap it in foil, and let it rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Slice brisket against the grain (remove excess fat from brisket if desired, leave on for a more intense flavor), place on top of white bread, and smother with hot gravy.
- Place 5 to 6 slices brisket over slices of white bread and spoon gravy on top.
- Combine paprika, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, mustard, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Generously season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add the roast to the Instant Pot.
- In a bowl, mix together gravy mix packets, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
- Pour gravy mixture in the bottom of the Instant Pot (try to not wash the seasonings off the roast).
- Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot. Move valve to SEALING (not venting).
- Press MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 40 minutes for a 2 pound roast or 60 minutes for a 3 pound roast (about 20 minutes per pound of meat).
- When cooking is done, allow roast to do a natural release (at least 30 minutes - the longer you can let it sit, the better. Sometimes I will let a roast stay on KEEP WARM for a few hours).
- Remove lid and remove roast from Instant Pot, then shred using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
- Stir the gravy left in the pot (it should have thickened up a little bit during cooking time, but if you want it to be thicker, you can mix together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water and then add it in to the gravy and stir until it thickens up).
- To serve, place some shredded roast on top of a thick slice of bread and then top with gravy (like an open-face sandwich).

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a cut of beef that is well-marbled and has a good amount of connective tissue, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- Use a Good BBQ Sauce: The BBQ sauce is a key component of this sandwich, so make sure to choose one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are making your own sauce, be sure to use high-quality ingredients.
- Cook the Beef Low and Slow: The beef should be cooked low and slow so that it has time to become tender. You can cook it in a smoker, a slow cooker, or even in the oven. The ideal internal temperature for the beef is 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will help the BBQ sauce to coat the beef evenly.
- Toast the Bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up to the BBQ sauce and the beef. You can toast the bread in a toaster or on a grill.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the shredded beef on the toasted bread and top it with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, coleslaw, and pickles. Serve the sandwich immediately.
Conclusion:
Open-faced BBQ beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your sandwiches are packed with flavor and that the beef is cooked to perfection. So fire up your grill or smoker and get ready to enjoy a classic summer dish.
