Brisket

Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the beef brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned brisket and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquid Ingredients

    Once seared, remove the brisket from the skillet. In the same skillet, add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Brisket

    Return the brisket to the skillet, cover it, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 4-5 hours until the brisket is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Shred the Brisket

    Once the brisket is done cooking, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Slice the sandwich rolls in half. Place a generous portion of shredded brisket on the bottom half of each roll.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the brisket with barbecue sauce, sliced onions, sliced pickles, and shredded cheese if desired.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Place the top half of the sandwich roll on top and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
