Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef brisket
- 0.25 cup Salt-free BBQ spice rub
- 1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
- 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
- 4 Whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 1 Red onion, sliced
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Low sodium mustard
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the brisket. Pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Rub the salt-free BBQ spice rub evenly over the entire surface of the brisket.
3. Pour the liquid smoke and low sodium beef broth into a large slow cooker.
4. Place the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring the liquid covers the bottom to help keep the brisket moist.
5. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
6. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, shred or slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.
7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the whole wheat sandwich rolls and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
8. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a thin layer of low sodium mustard on one side of each roll.
9. Layer with slices of brisket, followed by red onion slices, leafy lettuce, and tomato slices.
10. Top the sandwiches with the other halves of the rolls and serve warm.
