How to Make Brisket Sliders
It doesn’t get much easier than this recipe. A little toasting and baking is pretty much all it takes! The entire process takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
Step 1: Toast the Buns
Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Then, spread mayonnaise on the inside of the top and bottom buns. Place them mayo-side down on the griddle and toast until golden. Place the bottom buns on a baking sheet.

Brisket used to be a relatively cheap cut of meat, but those days are over. These days, you can expect to pay anywhere from $8.00 to $10.00 per pound for this cut of beef.
You need three things for a really good brisket – low temperature, a long time to cook it, and moisture. Load up your smoker with soaked wood, cook your brisket over low heat for several hours – usually all day for a large brisket, and spray it with water, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, or another liquid every 30 minutes after cooking for 2 hours.
These sliders can be reheated, but they’re the best when served fresh and hot. You can mix the prepared coleslaw up to a day before making the sliders, but I recommend making the rest of the recipe when ready to serve.
You can. They’ll last for up to 3 months in the freezer when stored properly.
