When I cook a brisket, I usually use a 10-pound or bigger cut of meat. Now, if I’m having a party or going to a tailgate, I won’t have any left. Sometimes, though, I’ll make a brisket for a small group or just the family and there’ll be some leftovers.
This happened a while back, and I decided to make some brisket sandwiches with my leftovers. These were so easy I had them ready in minutes.
Let’s dive into brisket sandwich-making right now!
The big work was already done by making the brisket in the first place. This recipe is so easy you don’t need anything but a knife, the ingredients, and your fingers.
I walked through this recipe from beginning to end on my Youtube video and I also included the directions for my chopped brisket sandwiches at the bottom of this post.
Here’s how I made them.
I took my brisket and heated the slices up right in the bag. This heating method helps the meat retain its moisture.
Using a large knife, I chopped the brisket into bite-sized pieces. I went over it two or three times to be sure I got every piece chopped good.
Open up the brioche buns and toast them in the oven for a couple of minutes. If you prefer softer bread, leave this step off.
I got a big handful of chopped brisket and added it to the bun. Don’t be skimpy on the meat. Pile it up high!
I like my BBQ sauce on top of my meat. I drizzled Heath Riles Sweet BBQ sauce onto the brisket. The sauce makes it extra juicy and adds even more flavor to the sandwich.
Lay a couple of pieces of sliced onion on each sandwich, then top it off with some bread-n-butter sweet and spicy pickle chips.
Take a big bite!
I think I’ll rename this bad boy the Ultimate Chopped Brisket Sandwich. I bit into it and tasted all the flavors of the spices and the crunch of the pickles and onion….man it was delicious!
The chopped brisket was juicy and tender, perfect on a sandwich. The next time I make them, I’ll add some sides to go with them, like Smoked Brisket Baked Beans and coleslaw. I’m already looking forward to eating these again.
I like my sandwiches piled high, so I probably used 6-8 ounces of meat on every bun. One sandwich makes a meal for most people unless they’re really hungry. If you make a side dish or two, one sandwich should fill everyone up.
I didn’t need many tools for this recipe.
