Equipment

  • Smoker or Grill
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Mixing biwl

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz Cooked brisket
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 Brioche or ciabatta buns lightly toasted

Optional but highly recommended toppings:

  • 1/4 cup Bread & butter pickles or sweet pickle relish
  • 1 cup Slaw
  • 1/4 cup Pickled red onions

Instructions
 

  • Start by chopping the cooked brisket while it's still warm. Use all the pieces, including the burnt ends.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped brisket along with the BBQ sauce. Stir well until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by placing bread & butter pickles or relish on the bottom bun, followed by the brisket, slaw, and pickled red onions on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 2 sandwiches, but you can adjust the portions as needed.
  • You can use sliced or shredded brisket instead of chopped.
  • If using sliced brisket, consider adding BBQ sauce to the buns for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking.
  • Serve right away to avoid soggy buns. If you're eating later, keep the components separate and assemble when ready to eat.
