Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef brisket
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 6 Large sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Pickles, sliced
- 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the beef brisket.
Place the brisket into a large roasting pan and pour the beef broth around it. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Roast the brisket in the oven for 6–8 hours, or until tender and easy to shred with a fork.
Remove the brisket from the oven and allow it to rest, covered, for 20 minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded brisket with the barbecue sauce. Stir to coat evenly and heat through for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, split the sandwich rolls and brush the cut sides with melted butter. Toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the barbecue brisket onto the toasted rolls. Top with pickles and thinly sliced red onion.
Serve the Texas Sized Beef Sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides like coleslaw or potato salad.
