Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups Low-sodium beef stock
- 4 pieces Whole grain sandwich buns

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and ground cumin.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker.
Pour apple cider vinegar and beef stock over the brisket in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes before shredding it with two forks.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous amount of shredded brisket on the bottom half of each whole grain sandwich bun.
Top with a lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
