All-beef hot dogs grilled and glazed with barbecue sauce, then topped with creamy, crunchy cilantro-cabbage slaw on toasted brioche buns.

Cilantro Slaw

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • Black pepper
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 small head savoy cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 head red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Hot Dogs

  • Vegetable oil, for the grill
  • 8 brioche hot dog buns
  • 8 all-beef hot dogs
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Steps

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Whisk the slaw dressing, then toss with carrot, cabbages, and onion (keep the cilantro out for now).
  2. Oil the grates; toast the buns 1 to 2 minutes. Grill the dogs, brushing with barbecue sauce and turning, 4 to 5 minutes until charred and glossy.
  3. Nestle the dogs in the buns and brush with leftover sauce. Fold cilantro into the slaw and heap it over the dogs.
