Sandwich Assembly

1 lb smoked beef brisket, thinly sliced4 count burger or sandwich buns (e.g., brioche or kaiser)1/2 cup Original BBQ Sauce12 count dill pickle slices2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened2 tsp yellow mustard (optional)1/2 tsp coarse salt1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Method

Sandwich Assembly

Warm and slice brisket (if not pre-sliced)

If your brisket is whole or chilled, reheat gently: place brisket in a shallow baking dish, add 1/4 cup beef broth or water, cover tightly with foil and heat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 45–60 minutes until warm through. Let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice across the grain to yield about 1 lb of sliced brisket.

Season and saucede brisket

Place the sliced brisket in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and black pepper, pour 1/3 cup of the Original BBQ Sauce over the meat, and gently toss to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.

Toast buns

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread softened butter evenly on the cut sides of the buns. Place buns butter-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown and crisp, about 1–2 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Assemble sandwiches

If using, spread about 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Divide the sauced sliced brisket evenly among the 4 buns (about 4 oz / 1/4 lb per sandwich). Spoon an additional 1 tablespoon of reserved Original BBQ Sauce over the brisket on each sandwich if you like it saucier. Top each with 3 dill pickle slices, then place the top bun.

Serve

Serve sandwiches immediately while warm. Pass extra Original BBQ Sauce and pickles at the table. Leftover sliced brisket can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
