Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Combine all Rub ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub the brisket generously with the Rub mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Wrap the brisket tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
Place the brisket in a large Dutch oven or roasting pan with about 1 cup of water.
Cover tightly and bake for 6-8 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check water level periodically and add more if needed.
While the brisket is cooking, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for 30 minutes before shredding with two forks.
Toss the shredded brisket with the Sauce.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing the brisket on hamburger buns and topping with coleslaw.
