Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300℉ (148℃). (Alternatively use a slow cooker covering the meat 3/4 of the way with broth or water).
  • For the Sandwich: Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to make the dry rub.
  • Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the dry rub all over the brisket, covering all sides. Wrap the brisket in foil and place fat side up onto a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 3 hours. (or in slow cooker for 6 - 8 hours)
  • Shut the oven and let the brisket rest for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 wedges, depending on the size of the potato and your preference.
  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  • Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  • Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps them crisp up nicely.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Place a generous amount of sliced brisket on the bottom half of each bun. Spoon bbq sauce over top (optional).
  • Place the top half of the bun over the brisket.
  • Serve the Texas brisket sandwiches with potatoes wedges, and amber ale.
  • Save or freeze excess Brisket for future meals.
