Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil. Once hot, sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  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 on high for 4-5 hours until the brisket is tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the meat.

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 a toaster.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a generous portion of shredded brisket. Top with BBQ sauce, pickles, and a scoop of coleslaw. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the brisket sandwiches warm, optionally with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
