Plating Like a Pro

Let's talk presentation. For the BBQ Beef and Coleslaw Sandwich , think rustic charm. Pile that smoky, tender Slow Cooked Beef high.

Don't be shy with the homemade Coleslaw Sandwich topping. Honestly, a messy sandwich is a happy sandwich. Serve it on a wooden board for extra points.

Complement it with sweet potato fries or some corn on the cob. A crisp lager is the perfect pairing. Makes this Beef Dinner something truly special.

Super Storage Savvy

Got leftovers? First, good for you if you do! For fridge storage, keep the BBQ Beef and coleslaw separate. Store the Beef Dishes in an airtight container.

It'll last for about 3-4 days. The coleslaw is best within 2 days because it tends to get a bit watery.

Reheating the beef? A quick zap in the microwave or a gentle simmer on the stove works wonders. I don't recommend freezing the coleslaw, it will definitely lose its creamy texture.

Freezing the slow-cooked Smoked Beef Sandwich filling works just fine.

Remix Time!

Want to mix things up? For a lighter version, swap the mayonnaise in the coleslaw for Greek yogurt. Trust me, it's still delicious.

For a seasonal twist, try adding shredded apple to the coleslaw in the autumn. Talking of swaps. if you are avoiding gluten you can use gluten free rolls or serve over a bed of lettuce instead of a Brioche Bun Sandwich !

Nutrition Nuggets

Okay, so this BBQ Beef and Coleslaw Sandwich is an indulgence, right? But it does offer some good stuff! You're getting a good dose of protein from the BBQ Beef .

Plus, the coleslaw adds some fiber and vitamins. Just be mindful of the sugar in the BBQ sauce and coleslaw dressing.

This is a great twist on traditional Beef Dishes .
