  • Serve with classic sides like baked beans, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

  • Leftover brisket can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or BBQ sauce to keep it moist.

  • Toasting the buns lightly adds extra flavor and prevents sogginess.

Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add extra cayenne or hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.

  • Cheesy Twist: Top the brisket with melted cheddar or pepper jack cheese.

  • Tex-Mex Style: Add jalapeños, guacamole, or pickled onions.

  • Carolina Style: Use a mustard-based BBQ sauce for a tangier flavor profile.

FAQ

Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes! Place seasoned brisket in a slow cooker with ½ cup beef broth. Cook on low for 8–10 hours, shred, then mix with BBQ sauce.

What’s the best cut of brisket to use?
Flat cut is leaner and slices neatly, while point cut is fattier and juicier. Either works well for sandwiches.

Can I prepare brisket sandwiches ahead of time?
Yes, you can cook the brisket a day ahead, slice or shred it, and store with some BBQ sauce. Reheat before serving.
