Ingredients:
– 3-4 pounds beef brisket
– 1 cup barbecue sauce
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 6-8 sandwich buns
– Optional toppings: coleslaw, pickles, sliced onions
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or smoker to 250°F (120°C) for indirect heat cooking. If using an oven, preheat it to the same temperature.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub for the brisket.
3. Rub the dry spice mixture all over the beef brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
4. Place the seasoned brisket on the grill or in the smoker, fat-side up. Close the lid and let it cook for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195-205°F (90-95°C) and the meat is tender.
5. While the brisket is cooking, in a saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce and beef broth. Heat the sauce over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the grill or smoker and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy and flavorful meat.
7. Using two forks, shred the beef brisket into bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded beef in a large bowl and pour the warm barbecue sauce over it. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
8. To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous amount of the barbecue beef brisket on the bottom half of each sandwich bun. Add your favorite toppings such as coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve the Barbecue Beef Brisket Sandwiches warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired. Pair them with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
These Barbecue Beef Brisket Sandwiches are a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for any occasion that calls for good food and great company.
