Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 6 Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 12 slices Pickle slices
Instructions
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 3 minutes on each side until browned.
Place the sliced onion at the bottom of a slow cooker. Transfer the seared brisket on top of the onions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the brisket is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat.
Toast the burger buns. Spread butter on the inside surfaces and place them under a broiler or on a hot skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling shredded brisket onto each bun. Top with remaining BBQ sauce from the slow cooker and 2 pickle slices per sandwich.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
