Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 pounds beef brisket
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
Bread:
- 6 burger buns
Toppings:
- Pickles
- Onions
- Coleslaw
- Additional BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Blend the selected spices and herbs to create a robust, flavorful dry rub, ensuring even coating across the entire surface of the brisket.
- Carefully position the seasoned brisket inside the slow cooker, generously drizzling a rich barbecue sauce to enhance moisture and taste.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and allow the meat to gently simmer on low temperature, transforming the tough cut into a meltingly tender delicacy over 8-10 hours.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully extract the brisket and use two forks to delicately pull and shred the meat into succulent, tender strands.
- Toss the shredded brisket with additional barbecue sauce, ensuring each fiber is coated with a glossy, tangy glaze.
- Lightly toast the burger buns to create a crisp, golden exterior that will support the juicy meat.
- Assemble the sandwiches by layering the saucy brisket onto the toasted buns, then garnish with crisp pickles, thinly sliced onions, and a refreshing coleslaw for added texture and flavor complexity.
- Optionally drizzle extra barbecue sauce over the sandwich for those who desire an intensified flavor profile.
Notes
- Choose a fatty cut of brisket for more tender and juicy results, which helps prevent drying out during long slow cooking.
- Customize the dry rub by adjusting spice levels to suit personal taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
- If watching sodium intake, opt for low-sodium BBQ sauce and reduce added salt in the dry rub mixture.
- Prepare the brisket a day ahead and refrigerate overnight to enhance flavor development and make shredding easier.
