1

Prep the Brisket

Start by prepping the brisket. Pat it dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and pepper. Optional: You can also add your favorite spices or a dry rub for extra flavor. Once seasoned, let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

2

Sear the Brisket

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the brisket on all sides until nicely browned. This step helps seal in the juices and adds a delicious caramelized crust. Once seared, transfer the brisket to a slow cooker or roasting pan.

3

Slow Cook or Roast

If using a slow cooker, place the seared brisket in and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until fork-tender. If roasting in the oven, preheat it to 325°F (163°C). Cover the brisket loosely with foil and roast for about 3-4 hours, or until it reaches the desired tenderness.

4

Rest and Shred

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker or oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This allows the meat to relax and retain its juiciness. Then, shred the brisket using two forks or your fingers, discarding any excess fat or unwanted bits.

5

Assemble the Brisket Buns

Finally, it's time to assemble the heavenly Brisket Buns! Lightly toast your buns of choice. Take a generous amount of shredded brisket and pile it onto the bottom half of each bun. Feel free to add your favorite toppings like pickles, coleslaw, or barbecue sauce. Top it off with the other bun half and get ready for pure delight!
