Beef Brisket

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Brisket

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned brisket and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, until browned.

  3. 3

    Cook the Brisket

    Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker. Pour the beef broth over the brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 4

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the brisket is resting, slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  3. 6

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer shredded brisket, drizzle with barbecue sauce, add pickles, and top with coleslaw. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
