Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
• 6 pieces Whole wheat sandwich buns
• 2 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and brown sugar.

Step 3

Rub the spice mix evenly over the beef brisket.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the brisket and set it aside. Reduce heat to medium, add tomato paste to the pot, and cook for about 2 minutes while stirring.

Step 6

Add the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Place the brisket back in the pot. Add low sodium beef broth, covering the brisket about halfway.

Step 8

Cover the pot with a lid and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Step 9

While the brisket is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a large bowl. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 10

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.

Step 11

Lightly toast the sandwich buns in the oven or on a skillet.

Step 12

To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of sliced brisket on the bottom half of each bun, top with coleslaw, and cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic beef brisket sandwiches.
