Ingredients
3 pounds beef brisket
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 hamburger buns, split and toasted
2 cups coleslaw mix
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Season brisket with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear brisket on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove brisket and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in beef broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Return brisket to the pot, cover, and transfer to oven. Cook for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
Remove brisket from pot and shred with two forks. Return shredded meat to the sauce and keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Toss with coleslaw mix to make quick slaw.
Toast buns. Pile shredded brisket on bottom buns, top with coleslaw, and cover with top buns. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, marinate the brisket overnight with the dry rub.
Leftover brisket can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you prefer a crispier slaw, add the dressing just before serving.
