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 the spice mixture all over the beef brisket.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a slow cooker or smoker. Pour the beef broth around the brisket. Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded). If using a smoker, maintain a temperature of around 225°F (107°C).

  3. 3

    Rest the Brisket

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

Sausage Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    While the brisket is resting, slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Burnt Ends Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Burnt Ends

    Cut the beef brisket trimmings into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix together barbecue sauce and honey. Toss the brisket cubes in the sauce mixture until well coated.

  2. 6

    Cook the Burnt Ends

    Place the coated brisket cubes in a smoker or on a grill, cooking at a temperature of 225°F (107°C) for about 2 hours, until they are caramelized and tender.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the sandwich buns in half. Layer slices of brisket, cooked sausage, and burnt ends on the bottom half of each bun. Top with pickles and drizzle with additional barbecue sauce to taste. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches immediately with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
