prep: 20 minutes

cook: 5 to 6 hours

cool: none


1 tablespoon garlic salt

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 pounds brisket, fat trimmed

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 large white onion, peeled and halved

1 garlic head, halved horizontally

2 cups beef broth

1 cup Worcestershire

¼ cup sweet teriyaki sauce

1 cup barbecue sauce

12 slider buns, split

Coleslaw

1. Preheat the oven to 225°F.

2. To make the pulled brisket: In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, onion powder, kosher salt, and pepper. Rub over both sides of the brisket.

3. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat. Add the brisket and cook until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side.

4. Settle the brisket in the pan. Add the onion halves, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire, and teriyaki sauce. Cover and bake in the oven until fork tender, 5 to 6 hours.

5. Let rest for 15 minutes, then shred the meat with 2 forks. Toss with 2 cups of the cooking liquid and the barbecue sauce. Discard any leftover cooking liquid.

6. Store the pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

7. To assemble: Place ¼ cup brisket on each bottom bun half. Top with 1½ tablespoons of the slaw and the upper bun halves. Serve immediately.
