GOAT BBQ Beef Melt

Ingredients:

• For the Brisket:
  • 2 Chuck Roasts (about 2.5 lbs each)
  • 1 cup BBQ Rub
  • 2 tablespoons Neutral Oil
• For the Crutch:
  • 32 oz Beef Broth
  • 1/2 cup Beef Tallow
  • 2 cups Sliced White Onions
• For the Sliders:
  • 8-10 Texas Toast Slices
  • 6-8 Cheddar Cheese Slices
  • 1 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions:

Preparing the Brisket:

1. Season the Brisket: Rub the chuck roasts with the BBQ rub and olive oil.
2. Smoke the Brisket: Smoke the seasoned briskets at 250°F until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
3. Crutching the Brisket: Wrap the cooked briskets in foil with beef broth, beef tallow, and sliced onions. Return to the smoker at 300°F until tender and easily shreddable.

Making the Brisket Sliders:

1. Prepare the Sliders: Assemble the sliders with Texas toast, cheddar cheese, pulled brisket, and BBQ sauce.
2. Toast the Sliders: Toast the assembled sliders in a skillet with melted butter until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips:

• Choosing the Right Cut: While chuck roasts can be used, a classic brisket cut is often preferred for its rich flavor and tenderness.
• Smoking Temperature: The optimal smoking temperature can vary depending on your smoker and the desired smoke ring. Experiment with temperatures between 225°F and 275°F.
• Crutching: Crutching helps to maintain moisture and accelerate the cooking process.
• Resting the Brisket: Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute.
• Building the Sliders: Experiment with different cheeses, sauces, and toppings to customize your sliders.

Enjoy your delicious BBQ brisket sliders!
