- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- One 6- to 8-pound (2.7 to 3.6 kg) trimmed beef brisket
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled
- 24 Hawaiian rolls, warmed
- Favorite slaw, for serving
- 2 cups pickled deli peppers
- 2 cups pepper relish

How To Make Pioneer Woman Brisket Sliders
- Prep the oven and rub: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Season the brisket: Place the brisket on the wire rack. Cut 8 small slits into the meat and insert a peeled garlic clove into each slit. Rub the spice mixture generously all over both sides of the brisket.
- Roast low and slow: Place the brisket in the oven, fat-side up. Roast for 7 to 8 hours, until the brisket is very tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Rest and slice: Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes. This is a crucial step. After resting, slice the brisket thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the sliders: Pile the warm, sliced brisket onto the warmed Hawaiian rolls. Top with your favorite slaw, pickled peppers, pepper relish, pickle chips, and baby spinach.
Recipe Tips
- How do I get the most tender brisket? The secret is roasting it “low and slow.” Cooking the brisket at a low temperature (275°F) for a very long time (7-8 hours) allows the tough connective tissues to break down, resulting in incredibly tender, juicy meat.
- How do I get the most flavor? Be generous with the spice rub, making sure to cover the entire surface of the brisket. This creates a delicious, flavorful crust. Pushing the garlic cloves deep into the meat also infuses it with flavor from the inside out as it cooks.
- Why is resting the brisket so important? This is a non-negotiable step for any large cut of meat. Resting allows the juices, which have been pushed to the center during cooking, to redistribute throughout the meat. If you slice into it too soon, all that flavor and moisture will spill out onto your cutting board.
- What’s the best way to trim the brisket? You want to trim off any excessive hard fat, but be sure to leave a thin layer of fat on top (about 1/4 inch). This fat cap melts as the brisket roasts, continuously basting the meat and keeping it moist.
What To Serve With Brisket Sliders
These sliders are a meal in themselves, but they are part of a perfect spread when served with classic BBQ sides like:
- Macaroni and cheese
- Potato salad or coleslaw
- Baked beans
- Corn on the cob
How To Store Brisket
Refrigerate: Store leftover sliced brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It’s a good idea to store it with some of the pan drippings to keep it moist. Freeze: Brisket freezes very well. Let it cool completely, then store it in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months.

FAQs
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes. You can cook the brisket in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours. You may want to sear the brisket in a hot pan before placing it in the slow cooker to help develop a nice crust.
What cut of brisket should I use?
For this recipe, a u0022trimmedu0022 brisket, often called the flat cut, works well. If you buy a whole packer brisket, you will need to trim the excess fat yourself.
Can I make the brisket ahead of time?
Yes, brisket is an excellent make-ahead dish. You can cook it a day or two in advance. Let it cool, then wrap it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it, wrapped in foil with a splash of beef broth, in a low oven until warmed through.
