Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a slow cooker or smoker. If using a slow cooker, add the beef broth. Cook on low for 8-10 hours until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart. If using a smoker, smoke at 225°F for about 6-8 hours, spraying with apple juice every hour.

  3. 3

    Rest the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the heat and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Slice the Brisket

    Using a sharp knife, slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices for optimal tenderness.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the brisket is resting, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on a skillet or in an oven until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer the sliced brisket, a slice of cheddar cheese, pickles, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  3. 7

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top each sandwich with the other half of the toasted brioche bun. Press down gently to secure.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
