Ingredients
Scale
Brisket and Sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked beef brisket (sliced or shredded)
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
Buns and Toppings
- 4 sandwich buns or brioche rolls
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting buns)
- Optional toppings: coleslaw, pickles, sliced onions, extra BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Heat the Brisket: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced or shredded brisket with BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat the meat thoroughly. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the brisket is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens, enhancing the flavor and texture.
- Toast the Buns (Optional): Lightly butter the sandwich buns and toast them in a skillet or under the broiler until they are golden and slightly crisp. This step adds a delightful crunch and richness to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spoon the hot BBQ brisket mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add optional toppings such as coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions to your preference. Place the top bun on each sandwich and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This sandwich is perfect for using leftover brisket, making it a great way to minimize waste.
- To simplify preparation, use store-bought BBQ sauce and pre-shredded coleslaw.
- Serve the sandwich with chips, fries, or baked beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
