Brisket

Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Rub the brisket with Worcestershire sauce. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Coat the brisket evenly with the spice mixture.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the brisket in a smoker at 225°F (107°C) and smoke for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  3. 3

    Rest the Brisket

    Once cooked, wrap the brisket in foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Prepare Beef Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the beef broth over medium heat until warmed. This will be used to moisten the brisket if needed when assembling the sandwich.

Slaw Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat.

  2. 6

    Chill the Slaw

    Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Slice the Brisket

    After resting, slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each artisan bun, layer slices of brisket, a generous portion of slaw, and top with fresh jalapeños. Optionally, you can drizzle some beef broth over the brisket for added moisture.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the smoked brisket sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
