Instructions
Ribs
Combine the American BBQ and Chicago Steak in a bowl and mix well. Remove ribs from packaging, using a sharp knife to remove any excess fat and silverskin. Now hit with your favorite binder; I went with duck fat spray. Liberally apply your rub and let the ribs rest until your pit is up to temp.
Fire up your smoker, toss on some hardwood, grab a cold one and tend your fire for the next 5-6 hours. Your target temp is 230-250 degrees Fahrenheit. I typically do not wrap my beef ribs but if you want to, you will do so after the first 3-4 hours. Continue to smoke ribs till an internal 209 F. Pull off the smoker and let rest till you can handle and then shred.
Black Truffle Aioli
In a bowl add mayonnaise and truffle oil. Next, grate the garlic and black truffle. Crack in the pepper and season to taste. Whisk all ingredients together and place Aioli in the refrigerator till sandos are ready.
Assembly
First toast up a nice hearty bread, I like to use ciabatta roll. Then you are gonna want to caramelize some yellow sweet onion and set aside. Spread on some of that delicious Aioli, pile it high with your amazingly tender, smokey pulled beef. Add a slice of the creamy Smoked Gouda, some of those deliciously caramelized onions and throw it back on the smoker to melt up the cheese. Once the sandwich is all melty it's time to devour!
