Method

Preparation of Brisket

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef brisket with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a slow cooker or smoker. If using a slow cooker, add a cup of water. Cook on low for 8 hours or until tender. If using a smoker, smoke at 225°F for about 6-8 hours, depending on thickness.

    Once the brisket is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the cooker. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before shredding it with two forks.

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 5

    Add Barbecue Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.

  3. 6

    Add the Shredded Brisket

    Place half a pound of shredded brisket on top of the barbecue sauce on each roll.

  4. 7

    Top with Cheese and Pickles

    Sprinkle cheddar cheese and add pickles on top of the brisket.

  5. 8

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, add sliced onions, jalapeños, and coleslaw on top.

  6. 9

    Complete the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the sandwich roll on top and press down gently. Serve warm.
