Delicious Smoked Brisket Sandwiches

These sandwich ingredients feature beautifully smoked beef brisket, served on a soft bun and topped with your choice of coleslaw and pickles. The recipe takes approximately 6 hours to prepare and serves about 8 sandwiches.

Ingredients

4 pounds beef brisket
2 cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
8 soft sandwich rolls
1 cup coleslaw (optional for topping)
Pickles (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prep the Brisket: Trim excess fat from the beef brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.
Make the Rub: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating.
Slow Cook the Brisket: Place the seasoned brisket in a smoker or slow cooker, and cook at low temperature (225°F for a smoker or on low in a slow cooker) for about 6 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.

Add BBQ Sauce: About 30 minutes before the brisket is done, brush the BBQ sauce generously over the top and allow it to caramelize slightly.
Shred and Assemble: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, shred the meat with two forks. Serve the shredded brisket on sandwich rolls, topped with additional BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and pickles if desired.
