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.
