How to Make Barbecue Beef Sandwiches
- Trim excess fat from a 3-4 lb beef brisket.
- If necessary, cut the brisket to fit comfortably in a 3.5-4 quart slow cooker.
- Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon chili powder to the slow cooker.
- Place the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring it's mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- About 1 hour before serving, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest slightly.
- Discard the cooking liquid.
- Use two forks to shred the brisket. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of your favorite barbecue sauce.
- Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce is well incorporated.
- Serve the shredded beef on slider buns, hamburger buns, or your favorite rolls. Garnish with your favorite BBQ toppings!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
