Serves 6

• 1 large Spanish onion, sliced
• 3 Tbsp oil
• 10 slices brisket, chopped, or 2 cups pulled beef
• 1 5×5-inch (13×13-cm) slice potato kugel
• 1 cup cooked farfel
• 1/4  cup gravy, plus more for dipping

Special Sauce

Red Cabbage Slaw

• 2 cups shredded red cabbage

• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• juice of 1 lime
• salt and pepper, to taste

In a large sauté pan, sauté the onion in oil until slightly golden. Add beef, potato kugel, and farfel. Continue sautéing all ingredients, chopping as you go, until it resembles a soft, crumbly mixture. Add 1/4 cup gravy and cook until the mixture is heated through.

To prepare the special sauce, place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix.

To prepare the slaw, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.

To prepare the sandwiches, smear some special sauce on both halves of each soft sesame stick or hoagie. Place a generous amount of the meat mixture on the roll and top with slaw. Cover with the second half of the bread and serve with some extra gravy for dipping.
