Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Smoke the Brisket

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the brisket with salt and pepper, then place it in the smoker fat side up. Smoke for about 6-8 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sides

    While the brisket is smoking, prepare the coleslaw and potato salad. For the coleslaw, mix shredded cabbage, carrots, and a dressing of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. For the potato salad, boil diced potatoes until tender, then mix with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings.

  3. 3

    Make Housemade Pickles

    Combine sliced cucumbers, vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and spices in a jar. Let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Plate

    Once the brisket is done, slice it against the grain. Serve it on a Martin's potato bun topped with Texas BBQ sauce. Plate with coleslaw, potato salad, and housemade pickles on the side.
