Ingredients
Marinade:
- 2 cups red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup minced garlic
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fennel seed
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Brisket:
- 1 (12 to 15 pound) brisket
- 1 cup tomato paste
- 8 seeded rolls, halved
- Horseradish mayonnaise, for serving
- 16 slices sharp provolone
- 16 to 24 Roasted Tomatoes, recipe follows
- Pepperoncini, for serving
- 8 eggs
Directions
For the marinade: Bring the vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, oregano, fennel seed, black pepper, and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes. Let cool. Place the brisket in a large baking dish and cover with the marinade. Let rest, covered, overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
For the brisket: Smear with the tomato paste and place in a clean large baking dish. Cook, covered, for 5 hours. The meat should easily come apart. Cool.
Slice the brisket against the grain in 1/8-inch thick slices. Reserve the jus separately. Keep the brisket slices warm in the jus.
Remove the insides of the rolls and smear with horseradish mayonnaise, to taste. Put 2 slices cheese, 2 to 3 roasted tomatoes, and a handful of pepperoncini on each roll. Place in the oven to crisp the rolls and melt the cheese. Meanwhile, cook the eggs to over-easy. Place 2 eggs on each roll. Top with about 4 ounces brisket and drizzle with some jus. Wrap and slice in half. Buen gustaio!

I made the brisket last night and had it for dinner with Jeff Mauro's Three-color power slaw. Excellent. I made the sandwich for lunch today. It was delicious. Don't have it on a first date- it was a mess : I thought the pepperoncini overpowered the brisket a bit, so I might cut that down next time.The eggs were a nice touch.

Followed the recipe for a Super Bowl sandwich and it was a hit. Definitely worth the effort!

Awesome recipe. Have done it twice with a 7 to 8 pound brisket and it has quickly become a family favorite. Overnight marinade, sharp provolone and the horseradish mayo are a must. Noticed that Paesano restaurant adds roasted peppers as well as the roasted tomatoes. This sandwich has been enjoyed by little children as well as adults....some with and some without the egg. Definitely a keeper!
