Brisket 1 whole brisket (approximately 4-6 pounds)

Pepper 2 tablespoons

Buns 12-15 burger buns
Barbecue Sauce 1-2 cups

Take note
Handle the brisket with care and be sure to use oven mitts when handling hot trays or pots. Keep a close eye on the cooking time to ensure the brisket is tender but not overcooked.

1

Prep the Brisket

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, then season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite dry rub. Wrap the brisket in foil and let it marinate in the fridge overnight for maximum flavor.

2

Slow Cook the Brisket

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place the marinated brisket in a large roasting pan and cover tightly with foil. Slow cook the brisket in the oven for 6-8 hours, or until it's tender and easily shreds apart with a fork.

3

Prepare the Buns

While the brisket is cooking, prepare the buns. Slice them open and lightly toast them in a skillet or toaster oven. This will give your buns a nice crunch and prevent them from getting soggy.

4

Shred the Brisket

Once the brisket is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any excess fat. Return the shredded brisket to the roasting pan.

5

Add the Sauce

Pour your favorite barbecue sauce over the shredded brisket, mixing it well to coat all the meat. This will add a delicious tangy and smoky flavor to your buns.

6

Assemble and Serve

Place a generous amount of the saucy brisket on each toasted bun. Top with your favorite coleslaw or pickles for added crunch and freshness. Serve the Brisket Buns warm and watch them disappear!
